Power Peer Review RFA Status : Power Peer Review RFA Status RFA 3 Request Need to get AR-461 filter schematic plus schematic of 28-28 supply on spacecraft.  Need to develop model of power and ground distribution to verifiy filter performance relative to 100 kHz noise.  Damping of the entire filter network should also be verified to assure that an interactive among the many identical filters cannot occur. Response (SLAC) The PRU Road Show exercised the Spacecraft PRU and the LAT interface and tested the performance. The results are: (1) The interface between the Spacecraft and LAT is understood (pinouts and signal definitions) . (2) The SIU, VCHP and DAQ feeds are stable under full load. (3) The conducted EMI is within the requirement. (4) The Calorimeter - Tracker mini-tower performs properly with the spacecraft PRU. (5) There were no significant transients when the LAT feed is turned off when fully powered . The test results are documented in LAT-AM-04670.


Power Peer Review RFA Status (Continued) : Power Peer Review RFA Status (Continued) RFA 4 Request T0-220 Maxim regulators have their mounting tabs connected to ground.  This has the potential of creating an undesirable ground path with associated noise problems.  The optimum grounding solution for this particular configuration is to connect all elements to chassis and use the structure as the primary ground return (as diagrammed on the conference room whiteboard).  It is strongly recommended that this approach be taken to assure proper instrument performance despite the fact that the approach is slightly unorthodox.  As a second issue, it is also suggested that gold foil or indium foil be used to assure reproducible heat sink contact for the regulators.  The grease or no intermediate material approaches are strongly recommended against. Response (SLAC) 1) The grounding approach defined in the RFA is the current implementation. The grounding tabs on the Maxim regulators are mounted directly to the enclosure, and the enclosure used as the primary ground return (2) The regulators are mounted using a thermally conductive adhesive (CV-2946 Nusil). Tests on the EM hardware showed minimal temperature rise (a few degrees) across the interface.


Power Peer Review RFA Status (Continued) : Power Peer Review RFA Status (Continued) RFA 5 Request Maxim part screening must be carefully done to assure that the testing provides valid verification reliability.  Documented methods by Maxim are for static burn-in only (diffusion based issues) and do not represent the actual operational case planned for GLAST.  In that the GLAST application is actually fairly stressful AND uses the part outside of its normal operational range (for the 1.5 volt output case), it is suggested that the screening and qual test be configured to verify the 1.5 volt configuration since it is most stressful.  Note that great care must be taken with the layout and instrumentation to assure that the setup does not accidentally result in part damage. Response (NASA/SLAC) Parts were screened and qualification testing performed at GSFC.


Power Peer Review RFA Status (Continued) : Power Peer Review RFA Status (Continued) RFA 6 Request The 28 volt converter planned for use by Spectrum Astro, uses a step-up transformer.  A quick calculation indicates that the step-up ratio is probably 1.5 or more.  therefore, a failure where the control loop goes open while the bus is at 33 volts, could put as much as 50 volts on the input to the power supply regulators.  Such a condition could have catastrophic consequences to the instrument such that system level redundancy could be compromised due to progagation of the failure across interfaces.  Therefore, it is strongly recommended that overvoltage protection be implemented to assure protection of the hardware plus protection against failure propagation. Response (NASA) Lambda identified a credible single point failure that could cause an overvoltage condition.  Spectrum added a transorb across the output of each 28 volt feed to prevent the voltage from exceeding 38 V.  A test was run at Lambda at the end of August to verify the design.  The preliminary results show that the voltage never exceeded 38 V.  Spectrum Astro is reviewing the test results and performing additional studies to ensure the test results are analytically consistent with the circuitry.


ELX Peer Review RFA Status : ELX Peer Review RFA Status RFA 23 Request In order to understand EMI, perform SPICE analysis of the LAT internal power distribution bus. Include models for S/C DC/DC converters, all filters, and LAT DC/DC converters. Use model to establish EMI self-compatibility, i.e. will the internal EMI sources cause problems. Look at inrush issues as well Response We are not able to perform SPICE level simulations due to the lack of SPICE models for the converter hybrids. However no issues were found in tests performed (PRU road-show and test-bed). EMI will be tested on the qualification models.
