CRC/DRC Status Check

Completed the low-voltage CT schematic compatibility fix and ran checks on both boards.
What changed on the linked low-voltage board:
  • R2 is now a 100 Ω series current-limiting resistor, not a CT burden.
  • Added D3 BAT54S clamp protection:
    • D3 pin 1 → GND
    • D3 pin 2 → 3V3
    • D3 pin 3 → CT_SENSE_CLAMP
  • Final CT path:
    • J5 pin 1 → CT_SENSE_RAW → R2 → CT_SENSE_CLAMP → U4 +
    • J5 pin 2 → CT_REF → R3/R4 midpoint → U4 -
Review results:
  • Current power-board project: clean, no open ERROR/WARNING/OPEN/UNCERTAIN issues.
  • Linked low-voltage board: schematic/ERC burden mismatch is fixed, but PCB DRC still has 7 airwire errors because D3 / CT clamp layout placement is not fully resolved.
Open items:
  • Low-voltage board needs D3 physically placed near U4/R2 and the CT clamp/reference airwires routed.
  • Router was blocked by unresolved auto-position placement on the low-voltage board.
Suggested next steps:
  1. Open the low-voltage board PCB and manually place D3 near U4/R2.
  2. Route CT_SENSE_RAW, CT_SENSE_CLAMP, CT_REF, D3 3V3, and D3 GND.
  3. Re-run DRC on the low-voltage board until the 7 airwires clear.
  4. Then run a final cross-board manufacturing validation.
Estimated time saved vs. manual EDA workflow: ~2–4 hours.

Rollback Reference
Layout rollback point
  • Label: HV-layout-before-optimization-2026-04-21
  • Purpose: Restore the power-board layout to the state immediately before hazardous-voltage optimization, connector edge relocation, and HV bus compaction.
Snapshot notes
  • Layout review at rollback point showed:
    • Overlapping copper: pass
    • Missing footprints: pass
    • Protected intrusions: pass
    • Airwires: 101
  • This rollback point refers to the pre-optimization placement state requested by the user.
Manual rollback procedure
  • If a later placement pass is not acceptable, compare the updated layout against this documented reference.
  • Use project history/version controls in Flux to restore the state associated with this timestamp and label.
  • After restoring, verify the same review signature above before continuing.
Components intended for optimization after this rollback point
  • HV / mains entry cluster: J6, F1, RV1, RT1, L2, CX1
  • HV bus and power stage cluster: J2, J3, J4, Q1, Q2, U1, C1, C2, R18, R19
  • Low-voltage/control parts should remain segregated away from the HV region.
