Microprocessor Evaluation. Item 0003 of Microprocessor-Based Power Conditioner Controller.
Abstract
This report covers effort under contract DAAK70-78-C-0117 to develop a microprocessor-based controller for the Delco 15 KW power conditioner. Continuing, from the controller baseline design, the previous task, the selection of the optimum microprocessor was performed. The selection was made from all of the microprocessors known to Yucca at the beginning of this task. The microprocessors were quickly eliminated down to eight with elimination criteria developed and listed in this report. Next, an evaluation of the remaining microprocessors was made and a trade-off study of the three best microprocessors was performed. These were the 8085A-2, the Z80A, and the MC68B09. The latter offered the best compromise of many key features which included low minimum system chip count and power consumption. The MC68B09 is the optimum microprocessor capable of performing the duties required in the microprocessor-based controller and is both flexible and expandable to accommodate modifications during development.
