Main finding: the current Q1 reverse-polarity stage is unsafe because VGS can reach about 32 V, and SMCJ33A can clamp above the LM2596 40 V max input. I recommend replacing the front end with TPS26630RGER or LM74700QDDFRQ1 + MOSFET, and replacing LM2596 stages with 60 V bucks or industrial DC/DC modules.
No schematic/BOM changes were made yet, and PCB layout was not started. Approve Package A in the review file if you want me to apply the robust industrial corrections.
I’ll apply Package A at schematic/BOM level only: replace the unsafe low-side Q1 stage with a robust high-side protection/eFuse front end, update the transient strategy, and swap/annotate the regulator solution toward 60 V-capable industrial parts. I’ll verify datasheet requirements and rerun ERC; no PCB layout work will be started.
Applied Package A schematic/BOM corrections only; PCB layout was not started.
Updated the front end to TPS26630RGER + external blocking MOSFET, upgraded the input common-mode choke to Wurth 7448063801, documented LM2596 60 V-capable alternatives, and updated Engineering Risk Review Before PCB Layout. ERC review reports no errors or warnings.
Wirelessly connects nets on schematic. Used to organize schematics and separate functional blocks. To wirelessly connect net portals, give them same designator. #portal
