Overview

Shutter Driver is an open-source printed circuit board by RiceAMO, from the RiceAMO/HDD_Shutter_Driver repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 66 × 66 mm with 26 parts on 24 nets, routed with 105 tracks and 0 vias.

It is built around the IXDF604PI and LMD18200T. Its parts include 7 capacitors, 6 resistors, 4 connectors, 3 ICs and 3 diodes.

HDD_Shutter_Driver

HDD shutter driver circuit based on Rob Scholten's 2007 RSI paper (see below). Modifications include the option of using an IXYS IXDF604PI (about $2/IC) instead of the TI LMD18200 (about $17/IC) to drive the shutter.

Notes

  • Outputs are to standard BNC connectors so care should be taken to avoid shorting to ground.
  • H3 (PWR_SEL) allows using a single voltage supply to power the IC and provide current for the shutter.
  • H1 and H2 allow the selection of the output polarity (OUT_1x when using the IXDF604PI, OUT_2x when using LMD18200).

Questions

How big is the Shutter Driver PCB?

It measures 66 × 66 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Shutter Driver use?

26 parts, built around the IXDF604PI and LMD18200T. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Shutter Driver KiCad files?

From the RiceAMO/HDD_Shutter_Driver repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Shutter_Driver/Shutter_Driver.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Shutter Driver design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
