Questions along the way

A collection of potential issues

  • Is it necessary to have a low-voltage cutoff to avoid dangerous depletion of the CR123 lithium cells?
    • Nope, this is only an issue with killing rechargeables, not a safety issue.
  • What ESD protection would be reasonable for the analog signal connections to the microsquid-c?
    • 100ohm series resistor into pairs of diodes to Vcc/GND for both sides of the analog signal. Add a 0.01uF capacitor between the sides, and it's reasonable to remove the op-amps altogether.
  • Add a 100ohm series resistor and large cap to the SD supply to handle write surges
  • Avoid traffic on the I2C lines during conversion.
