Design considerations for a gas microcontroller

Abstract

This paper discusses some of the design problems that we are now addressing in considering a microcontroller for our upcoming GAS payload. We will be using microcontrollers to run our experiments and collect and store the data from those experiments. microcontroller are to be small , lightweight, have low power consumption, and high reliability. This paper will discuss some of the solutions that we have developed to meet these design requirements. still in the design stage and our final design may change from what we have now. We are continuing to look for new integrated circuits that will do what we need all in one package.
