Eric:

• Tested the power supplies and current sources
• DC-DC regulators issue. Wrong connection. To be fixed
• Issue with current sources. Differential amplifier has swapped pins and leads to a factor 10 amplification instead of 0.1
• Still fixing the other test-boards prior to validation
• Test power supplies over the entire voltage and current range
  
  • Still need to fix some resistors because adjustment range is not ideal

 

Changbum:

• Validation of test board ongoing. Issue with power supplies. Drop down observed on all power supply rails.
