Thermal Measurement Unit

(TMU)

Description

The TMU documentation is captured in the User Guide below.

Thermocouple Measurement Unit (TMU) - User Guide

Functional Description / User Guide

This is a document that captures an overview of each subsystem, use case, and relevant components. Similar to a User Guide, this document explains how to use a feature of a project. For example, it will explain the necessary hardware connections and how to communicate over CAN to the BMS. There may be several Function Descriptions (one for each revision).

PCB Datasheet

This contains information commonly found in datasheets such as normal operation voltage, absolute maximum ratings, and other lovely information.

Test Plan

This is a spreadsheet of each test that confirms that the project satisfies each engineering requirement.

Fallacies and Pitfalls

Take some time here to explain where you went wrong in the project development. This is a chance to reflect on your shortcomings and share your solutions.

<Example: We did not use the correct resistor values for our power indicator diodes. We resolved this issue by carefully writing out the Ohm's Law equations, and used Digikey's calculator.>

Revision Changes

Most EVT projects go through 2-3 revisions before the project is complete. Keep a record of changes for each revision. I recommend following the outline below:

Revision 2:

Recalculated resistor value for LED1, now the LED1 lights up when the board is powered up.
Found the correct measurement chip footprint and fixed it in Altium.

Revision 1:

Base project, ordered from PCBway and discovered that the measurement chip footprint was inverted. Also, the 3.3V LED1 would not light up.
