Senior Design iiBreathalyzer Interlock system
By: Xi Guo | Ashish Thomas | Brandon Gilzean | Clinton Thomas
Project Description A system to designed to deter individuals from operating a
motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Highly accurate and portable alcohol sensing unit allows the
operator to monitor their level of intoxication while away from the motor vehicle
Integrated automobile control unit prevents the vehicle from operating without a successful initial reading, then conducts rolling retests to verify driver sobriety during vehicle operation
Logs of activity maintained by automobile unit for retrieval during calibration by law enforcement.
Motivation and Goals Original concept was personal alcohol measurement device
powered by a smartphone (iPhone, Android, etc.) Platform and Business considerations lead to the
determination to make a standalone device Evaluation of work quantity lead to the marriage of alcohol
detection device with automobile interlock unit Goal is to develop a system that can meet National Highway
Safety and Transportation Agency certification for alcohol detection interlock devices.
Trade Study – Breathalyzers Personal breathalyzers utilize silicon
dioxide based ethanol sensors, reducing both cost and accuracy
Unique air channel design that folds into the case enclosure. This will be modeled or acquired for Voog
Simple means of communication using speaker and 2-Digit 7-Segment display
Small and lightweight, powered by non-rechargeable AA alkaline batteries
Trade Study – Ignition Interlock Smart Start Model 20-20 evaluated
as the most effective and complete solution currently available
Typical Interlocks utilize a “zero-tolerance” policy, meaning interlock engages between 0.02-0.04% BAC
No available model in the market can completely prevent spoofing, only deter and catch for later retrieval

Introduction System Logic
The system level design for both the handheld breathalyzer unit, as well as the automobile control unit, calls for the use of programmable logic.
This is necessary for the successful interpretation of output signals from the sensors, translating user input into device functionality, displaying information related to the current state of the device, as well as communication with other devices in the system.
Field-Programmable Gate Array Integrated-circuit designed to be programmed
after it has been manufactured
Advantages Using languages such as VHDL and Verilog
you can create complex logic structures. FPGA is extremely flexible (implement
processors, multipliers, network protocols)
Disadvantages More complex to program than
microcontroller Power Consumption
Microcontroller Small computer on a singleintegrated
circuit consisting internally of a relatively simple CPU, clock, timers, I/O ports, and memory.
Advantages Using languages such as C/C++ Assembly Low cost
Disadvantages Have to design a microcontroller into a
circuit and build it Paying for functionality that is not being
used

Alcohol SensorOperating Condition and RequirementsMaximum Operating Temperature: 90CRecommend Operation Temperature: <70CShunt Resistor value: 220-300ohm
Alcohol Sensor OutputTesting Condition•Room Temperature•0.5ml gas sample•0.160 BAC
Region of Interest<0.04 BAC (User will not be able to start the vehicle)
Alcohol Sensor Calibration Sensor Output will be calibrated
against known values using Lifeloc Dry Gas Calibration Kit
Typically, dry gas alcohol calibration requires a 5-6% compensation value to approximate breath alcohol
Values will be measured using a laboratory-formulated alcohol standard of particular concentration, representing BAC values of 0.02 to 0.10
Differential Pressure Sensor Object: To detect sufficient breath sample has been
provided. Option A: Tungsten Hot wire Anemometer
Electrical Resistance varies with the change in temperature due to breath sample
Cons: Can’t detect the quantity of breath sample obtained. Expensive. Not available as discrete solution
Option B: SI-Micro Pressure Sensor Pressure detection range: 0.15-3 Psi (Human breath
sample (1.5 to 2.5 Psi) Cons: Difficult to obtain from chosen manufacturer,
difficult to mount.

Power Supply
How to power Ability to hardwire into vehicle’s electrical system (in-car
unit) Recharge on-board battery with same circuit board
(portable unit) Utilize external “wall wart” to recharge battery, or
cigarette lighter connection (portable unit). So 12V primary input.
Various power needs of components in both units will require a power supply with multiple capabilities

Sensor 650 5Charging IC 600 9Speaker 60 5LEDs, etc 100 9Total 1610 --
Power Requirements (contd)
While maximum draw possible is ~1.6A, it is at various voltages and not all will be drawing at the same time for a significant period of time
Multiple voltages are needed for multiple components. Therefore, will utilize voltage regulation to generate multiple output voltages from singular +12VDC input
Power Distribution Scheme
Portable Unit
Control Unit
Implementing Power Scheme For our application, voltage dividers do not offer voltage
stabilization, and are fairly inefficient. They also lack any sort of basic power protection (short circuit, overcurrent, overvoltage, thermal overload, etc.).
Zener diodes allow a stable output voltage; but again, lack more robust power event protection.
Use LDO voltage regulator ICs. Switching regulators were considered, but due to their buggy reputations, were not used. They also take up slightly more space on the PCB land configuration due to a need for a larger (compared to LDO) supporting circuit. Heatsinking will be used as needed. +9VDC, +5VDC, and +3.3VDC are needed.
Battery Portable unit needed to be portable, but
also not impractical to use by having to replace disposable batteries. Since highest regulator to be served by battery is 5V, a 7.4V battery should suffice.
Load and current draw expectations made conventional alkalines impractical.
Due to size, energy density, as well as flexibility in recharging, lithium ion rechargeable batteries were chosen.

Expected Battery Runtime?
Charging the Battery However, a charging
circuit is now required. Lithium ion batteries require more care in charging, as improper charging can result in a fire or explosion – not desirable for any user, especially an inebriated user
Circuit to right. Will be a two cell battery (3.7V*2 = 7.4V)

Charging the Battery (contd) However, the area required
on the PCB for this configuration is too great; it also is not intelligent. It cannot automatically detect a severely discharged or overchargedbattery and cannot switch charging modes to compensate.
Use Texas Instruments BQ24005. A complete, integrated charging IC for use with two cell LiIon and LiPoly batteries
Heat issues are addressed by soldering a thermal pad on the bottom of IC to a copper pad in the PCB – the PCB becomes a heatsink.

To allow usage of same board for both fixed and portable power application, a set of three jumpers can be adjusted to allow for either configuration.
Physical Implementation Since small size, reliability, and quality are all primary
concerns of our overall project, we decided to use a PCB. PCB Requirements:
Compact: 2 in. x 3 in. (6 in.2 total area). This is slightly smaller than an average credit card.
Must accommodate microcontroller board within PCB area Design so a single board can be used for both portable and
base/control units Design for optimal power flow, and minimize capacitive,
inductive, and other crosstalk effects from traces, especially between analog and digital I/O lines.
Physical Implementation (contd) Design considerations:
32 mil for width of power traces 15 mil for width of signal traces 25 mil minimum for signal trace spacing Mostly dedicated ground plane for robust ground Two layer to save on cost. All outputs should have standard 0.1 in. spacing (2.54 mm) to
accommodate standard pin headers. This will mostly avoid the need to solder components directly to the board, easing debugging and future changes.
Wide traces to small pads on the charging IC should be necked near pad interface

Signal Acquisition Alcohol Concentration will be determined using a “Peak
Measurement” method Output measured over small load resistor (220 – 390 ohms) Voltage is converted into discrete 10-bit integer
representation by ADC with internal 1.5V reference Output represents the maximum alcohol concentration
detected by the sensor in micrograms. Airflow pressure will be queried from the differential sensor
utilizing I2C, returned from the sensor’s onboard DSP.
BAC Measurement Micrograms of alcohol is converted to BAC using the Blood/Breath Partition Ratio,
2300:1 US, 2100:1 UK
Assumption is made that test is post-absorbitive, meaning the alcohol is fully absorbed and in bodily equilibrium
Approximate values are as follows1.0% BAC = 1cg ETOH/mL blood = 9.43 mg ETOH/g blood1ppm = 1 ug ETOH/g blood = 1.06 ug ETOH/mL blood1.06g blood ~ 1mL blood188.6 ug/mL – 377.2 ug/mL is blood concentration for 0.02-0.04%82 ng/mL – 164 ng/mL will be range of BrAC
Assumptions of flow rate will be evaluated during assembly and calibration to determine breath sample quantity
Software Development Software will be written
using IAR Embedded Workbench
Kickstart version for MSP430 provided by TI limits program size to 4K. Full version does not have this limit, but costs lots of $$$
Software will be written in C, with inline assembly for MSP430 where needed
Software > Hardware… always What happens when you find out after purchasing your hardware
that it cannot achieve all the functionality you believed it could? MSP430F2274 provides a universal serial UART for I2C, SPI,
RS232, etc., which just so happens to be used by the CC2500 transceiver
Communications with peripheral devices and sensors will be accomplished through an I2C serial bus
Luckily for us, the right combination of configurable GPIO pins and software can save our project, utilizing a technique called “Bit-Banging”
What is Bit-Banging? A technique used for serial communications utilizing software
instead of dedicated hardware Software sets and samples the state of pins on the
microcontroller, responsible for timing, signal levels, synchronization, etc.
Can reduce costs in a design by implementing features that are not designed directly into the hardware (or make up for a lack of foresight)
Considered a hack, takes more CPU time and resource, signal is usually much uglier than dedicated hardware would provide
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) Daisy-chained serial peripheral bus designed for simple slave-to-
master device communications Only requires two lines, SCL (clock) and SDA (data) Each device is given an address on the bus, configured by
software Communications initiated with START and STOP messages First byte is the address of the device the master will
communicate with, then the desired direction of communication (write/read), followed by an ACK from the slave device
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) Each byte is followed by
a START message until desired end of transmission, which is indicated with a STOP message

Interlock and Demo Setup The interlock will prevent the vehicle from starting if the
user’s BAC is deemed to be too high. Will do this by routing the fuel pump’s power through a
relay; this will prevent starting whether the starter or clutch (bump start) is used to start the car
Signal from microcontroller will control the relay, which will switch the higher amperage fuel pump power. Protection diode will be used across relay.
For our demonstration, will use an RC car, as no actual vehicle is available for demo purposes
