How to overcome brownout spikes (AT90S2313)

2007-09-10 by max.motor

Hi All,



Could you help me on this one?



The AT90S2313 seems to be very picky about it's power supply.

Flicking an electrical load on or off randomly put the ACU into reset.

I've tried to separate all ins & outs, double buffered the PSU, used
some of those ferrite chokes.



But... still no result...



Recently I bought a Honda CBF600 tophalf.

All well accept for the headlight wiring.

Honda's policy is to turn on the lights although the engine
isn't running.

So the onboard battery, just a 6Ah, has to coop with 75W lights &
another 35W for the ignition, without being charged. The battery has to
be in very good shape getting the engine started after a pre-load
"shock" of 9Amp's.



  [B-)] So I took an AT90S2313, wired it's inputs by opt couplers to
the dynamo and high beam switch and used some N-MosFET's  to
power-up the 2 60W headlight bulbs.



  [:((] And so a reset does mean: NO LIGHT at all!  [:((]



The program has to follow a few rules:

1 – As soon as the engine is running, wait a few sec. light-up the
high-beam at 30%, wait a few sec. light-up the low-beam.

2 – Turnoff the lights as soon the starter is activated.

3 – If the engine is turned off wait a few sec., turn-off the low
beam wait half a min. than turn off the reduced high-beam.

4 – Flicking the phasser or switch the high-beam, immediately juice
up the high-beam.
