Board Status Circuit

The OBC Module has a function to monitor the OBC board status (power and temperature).

Power Status Monitoring

A Current and Voltage Monitor is integrated into the power supply nodes provided by the OBC Module. The Current and Voltage Monitor IC uses a TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INA3221-Q1 to communicate with both the TRCH and FPGA through an I2C interface, providing power data readings.

The monitoring nodes for the Current and Voltage Monitor are specified as follows.

Current/Voltage Monitor No. Target Address Channel Node

For details on accessing the Current and Voltage Monitor, please consult the INA3221-Q1 datasheet.

Temperature Monitoring

The OBC Module includes three temperature sensors to monitor temperature. The temperature sensor IC uses a TEXAS INSTRUMENTS TMQ175-Q1, which communicates with both the TRCH and FPGA via an I2C interface.

The mounting position and target address for the temperature sensors are as follows.
