3.3 V rail: display logic, IR thermometer, external NAND.
Switched optical rail: MAXM86161 LED/optical power only during sampling.
Each IC requires local 0.1 uF decoupling plus local bulk near rail entry; PMIC buck inductors must be adjacent to PMIC SW pins.
52 mm circular 6-layer stackup intent
L1: high-speed, RF, primary components.
L2: continuous solid GND plane; no splits.
L3: power distribution.
L4: signal routing.
L5: GND plane.
L6: skin-side sensors and bottom components.
Placement proposal — stop point before routing
Top / 12 o'clock: antenna at board edge with strict copper/component keepout; RF feed and pi match directly behind antenna.
Top / near RF: MCU within 10–15 mm of antenna feed; RF path short, controlled impedance, minimum vias.
Top / side edge: USB-C, ESD, and nPM1300 nearby; buck inductors tightly coupled to PMIC and kept away from antenna and biomedical sensors.
Top / center/front: circular AMOLED centered; QSPI series resistors near MCU.
Bottom / center skin side: MAXM86161 in optical window with black isolation wall and AMOLED light-leak shield.
Bottom / offset skin side: IR sensor separated from PPG and heat sources, aligned to enclosure FOV aperture.
Bottom / near geometric center: BNO086 for best motion sensing.
Side edge / vent: BME690 at enclosure air vent, thermally isolated from PMIC, battery, AMOLED driver, and large copper pours.
Part availability decisions requiring user approval
Exact nRF54LM20A was not found in the Flux library. Closest available options: nRF54L15-CAAA-R7 WLCSP or nRF54L15-QFAA-R QFN; USB support is not confirmed from the library result, so this is not an electrically equivalent confirmed substitution.
Exact GD60914AA was not found. Closest available IR thermopile option: TMP007AIYZFR, but it is not package/protocol-equivalent to GD60914AA.
W25N08LV / W25N QSPI NAND was not found. No usable Flux library substitute was found.
Routing gate
Routing must not start until the user approves either exact-part import/custom component creation or approves substitutions for unavailable parts. Placement must also be validated for RF antenna path, PPG/IR optical isolation, PMIC thermal separation, and sensor thermal zones.
