[WIP] Contactor Driver Board
The Contactor Driver Board ensures that precharge is handled properly before HV is connected. It measures the current through the precharge resistor, and shorts the contactor when the current nears 0A.
Includes:
HF/AC, transient spike and reverse polarity protection for 12V power
Bipolar Voltage Detection Circuitry
Voltage divider to measure current across precharge resistor * If current is nearing zero, EN_CURR (current sense amp output voltage) will drop significantly, which will close the PMOS and short 12v to the contactor power connector.
Precharge Contactor Control
PMOS controlled by current sense amp (see above)
Controls 12V connection
NMOS controlled by dashboard
Controls GND connection
