ATmega168 Processor Speed ???

[sawickm]

Looking at the Wiki’s current BOM I’ve noticed that it still references the “ATmega8” processor.

On this forum and on Paul’s website it shows the current use of a ATmega168 for the Cougar Controller. What is the actual ATmega168 part number currently being used ? Processor speed ??? ATmega168-20PU or 10PU ???

Also, for the new synchronous rectification controller what processor is being used a ATmega168, AT90PWM3B, or dsPIC ???

Anyone know the status of the new synchronous rectification controller ???

ATmega168-20PU (I think that means it can go up to 20 MHz)

SR controller uses dsPIC30F4011.
The status is, the board is done, but not fabbed. Here's the dilemma... I want to get Eagle, so ordering boards can be done much cheaper, but it's $1000. Ordering boards from the free software company is really expensive, and the other company that will let me order from them, needs a bunch of screen shots of the pcb to be able to write it in their own pcb editor I think. I just need to do that.

The point is, the board is just sitting there bored! hahaha.

I have a fully assembled control board from the first SR controller that won't work, because I used the wrong type of DC-DC converter for the high side drive. I've tested the VLA-15151 DC-DC as a high side power supply for the charger, and it works great.
