Work completed
  • Routed J1/J2 through AC-coupling and RF filters into SW1, and from SW1 into U1/U4 preamp +IN pins; unused inputs tied off.
  • Fanned out 1.65 V bias from U5 to BIAS_NET; wired VR1 wipers into the U1 feedback loops.
  • Added seven 100 nF decoupling capacitors (C1–C7) to power pins of U1, U4, U2, U3, and U5, with returns to ground.
Remaining tasks
  • Implement master volume (VR2) and design selectable 40/80 kHz RC filters; connect to U3 inputs.
  • Finalize 3.3 V buffers in U3 with series resistors, D2/D3 Schottkys, U6/U7 TVS, and F1/F2 PTCs.
  • Prepare schematic for 2-layer PCB: annotate star ground, add routing guidelines, run ERC to clear any airwires.
Success criteria status
  • Nets routed with no airwires: ✅
  • Combo jack to mode switch to preamps: ✅
  • 1.65 V bias and VR1 gain control: ✅
  • Master volume and anti-alias filters: ❌
  • U3 buffers with MCU protection: ❌
  • PCB-ready with star ground: ❌
Recommended next step Proceed to implement the master volume stage and anti-alias filter networks (Plan step 3) to complete the signal path before moving on to MCU protection and PCB layout preparation.
