3.6.7 Fine Sun Sensor Interfaces
Gaia comprises 3 Fine Sun Sensors (FSS) cross-strapped to each EIU.
Each FSS provides (see Figure 3.6-3):
• A Detector Voltage signal to the EIU, selected from one-of-eight multiplexed voltages;
• Q1 - Q4 being representative of the sun incidence on each of the FSS detector quadrants
• T1 - T4 being test voltages to allow closed-loop system testing with FSS HWIL.
• 3 address lines inputs (A0 - A2) for multiplex selection.
• A 'Sun Presence' voltage signal to the EIU (being the sum of Q1 - Q4).
• Inputs for 4 test voltages (T1 - T4) to verify operation of the FSS conditioning electronics and
allow FSS HWIL testing.
• A built-in thermistor to provide temperature data to the EIU.

AVI-4142/CREATED/T
The Avionics SCOE shall provide facilities for FSS Simulation (towards the EIU) and for stimulating
the FSS with test voltages when the real FFS are HWIL.
AVI-4143/CREATED/T
It shall be possible to select either FSS Simulation mode or FSS HWIL Test for any of the 3 FSS
independently.
