[9 Points] Assume that you have a 12 V NiMH battery that under normal operation has a voltage that varies from 9 V to 14 V, and a microcontroller that has an Analog to Digital converter that can measure inputs from 0 to 5 V. 1.
Design a battery monitoring circuit to produce voltage measurements safe (i.e., maximum of 5 V) for the microcontroller by selecting two resistors, R1 and R2, of your choosing as shown in the diagram below (3 points)

Design and draw a circuit using comparators, your choice of resistors, and a dc power supply that will turn on 5 LEDs according to the battery voltage level. All LEDs should turn on when the battery voltage exceeds 13V and all LED should be off if the battery voltage is less than 9V. This question should be completed independently of the previous two parts. (5 points)

2.
Determine the minimum number of bits required for the Analog to Digital Converter. (3 points)
3.
The microcontroller used to perform the A/D conversion has 128 kbytes (1 byte = 8 bits) of memory for storage. Assuming the minimum sampling to avoid aliasing, how long can we record the signal? (2 points)

[6 Points] We would like to drive the motor, M
, using the arrangement described in the diagram below. The control voltage, Va
, is a square wave signal with 50% duty cycle ranging from 0 to 5 V. The battery, Vbatt
, is 12V and the switch, S, is used to power the circuit on. ` a)
Sketch the voltages Va
, Vbatt
, and Vt
for two periods of operation in the space provided. You may assume the switch, S, is enabled. (4 points)
b)
You discover that the motor stops working shortly after running the above circuit. Despite switching the circuit on and off, the motor does not turn anymore. Why does the motor no longer operate? Modify the above circuit to correct the problem. (2 points)
Answer (b): Answer (a): Va Vbatt Vt t t t The motor is like an inductor and when the transistor is no longer conducting the current drops rapidly causing a spike in voltage that could damage the transistor. 1pt 1pt 1pt 1pt 1pt drawing 1pt –
spike > 12V assumes transistor breakdown

Question 2
You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the…
