Magnetic MEMS Mirror Driver EBMM3

EBMM3 (Evaluation Board for Magnetic Mirrors) is an electronics module to interface Sercalo Magnetic MEMS Mirror product family.

Plug-and-play
Driver configuration is set automatically on reset based on connected Sercalo's Magnetic MEMS mirror.
Digital and Analog
You can either create and modify reference signal via CLI interface or Analog signals.
User I/O
Extension ports are available for extended functionalities.

The driver board can drive a dual-axes mirror in open-loop or closed-loop (on capable device with feedback sensor). The user communicates with the EBMM3 to control the MEMS via a command line interface (cli). It allows the user to build references patterns, set a control strategy, read sensor values and configure the MEMS for exemple.

Design Block of Magnetic MEMS Mirror Driver

The EBMM3 is sold as a complete development kit which includes two electronics:

  • Driver board with a DSP unit and output connection for Sercalo's Magnetic MEMS Mirror
  • Interface board with USB interface, Analog IN/OUT, I/O extensions connector and Power management.

Both electronics are packaged in an enclosure. On demand, the driver board could be provided separately to integrate the controller inside a smaller package.

Interfaces

UART

The main communication with the driver is done through the UART bus. It is accessible from the I/O connector or the USB-C connector which acts as a virtual COM port on the computer. The system works as a unix-like CLI (Command-Line-Interface).

I/O and Status Pins

Five Status pins are preconfigured with specific usage and displayed as LED for visual information. Five configurable I/O pins are provided to get info and trigger option. Finally a MOSFET output is dedicated to activate/deactivate a laser diode.

Analog Input and Output

Each axis can be controlled with a ±5V reference signal. A feedback analog output could provide. The input/output signal is provided to the EBMM box from the SMA connector on the back panel or the I/O connector on the front panel.
