C Control Circuit (RD)
C-1 Technical Summary
The control circuit for the CABL is used to control when and how long the alarm
is active. To do this a finite state machine (FSM) is necessary. This FSM would need to take
external inputs "Arm" and "Disarm" from the key fob subsystem, and an input from the
accelerometer subsystem. In addition to this the FSM also needs a counter in order to control the
length of time the alarm will sound without the user deactivating it. For the prototype a Spartan 6
FPGA was first considered to implement such a circuit but was discarded when we discovered
that it required 20 watts of power simply to keep its programming. Because a FPGA was out of
