Regulatory FCC/CE Notes — Stereo DSP Amplifier
Draft design-stage notes. This board includes an ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8 Wi-Fi/BLE module, so wireless regulatory integration requirements ap...
Implemented the complete schematic and BOM draft for the stereo DSP amplifier, without PCB placement or routing. Electrical ERC is clean; the remaining BOM/manufacturing issue is that generic passives, inductors, test points, and attenuation headers still need final orderable MPN/package selections before manufacturing.
Created/updated project files:
Open items:
- Select final MPNs/packages for generic resistors, capacitors, inductors, test points, and jumper headers.
- Verify the PCM1863DBT footprint pitch against TI’s DBT TSSOP-30 land pattern before layout.
- Add final TI register configurations for PCM1863 and TAS5825M firmware.
Suggested next steps:
- Finalize passive/inductor/test-point MPNs to make the BOM manufacturing-ready.
- Review the schematic visually for signal-flow readability.
- Set the 150 mm × 150 mm four-layer board, stackup, and placement constraints.
- Start PCB placement only after you approve the schematic.

Schematic Status
- Complete schematic and BOM draft created for the requested signal chain.
- PCB placement and routing were intentionally not performed.
- Electrical ERC checks are clean as of 2026-07-25.
- Manufacturing/BOM checks still report missing manufacturer part numbers for generic passives, generic test points, generic inductors, and the 1x4 attenuation headers. These need final orderable MPN/package selections before manufacturing export.
Fixed Major Components
Table
| Ref | Function | MPN | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| U1 | Dual balanced line receiver | INA1650IPWR | Fixed by requirement, powered from +12V_A single supply for improved headroom. |
| U2 | Stereo ADC | PCM1863DBT | Fixed by requirement. TI DBT TSSOP-30 is 0.65 mm pitch; the library metadata should be re-verified at layout. |
| U3 | DSP/Wi-Fi MCU | ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8 | I2S master, Wi-Fi control, I2C configuration, FAULT monitoring. |
| U4 | Stereo Class-D amplifier | TAS5825MRHBR | 18V PVDD, 3.3V DVDD, BTL LC output filters. |
Power Architecture
Table
| Rail | Source | Loads | Design Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18V_RAW | J3 DC barrel | F1 input fuse | PJ-102AH supports 5A; initial adapter may be 2A. |
| 18V_PROTECTED / PVDD_18V | F1 + Q1 reverse protection + D1 TVS | TAS5825M PVDD, U5 buck, U6 LDO | Net annotated for 5A future adapter path. |
| 3V3 | U5 TPS54302 buck | ESP32-S3, PCM1863 DVDD/IOVDD, TAS5825M DVDD, I2C pullups | 3A-capable regulator; budget target >=1A peak for ESP32 Wi-Fi bursts plus audio ICs. |
| ADC_AVDD_3V3 | 3V3 through FB1 ferrite bead | PCM1863 AVDD | Filtered analog branch to keep ESP32/buck noise away from ADC analog/reference. |
| 12V_A | U6 TPS7A4901 LDO | INA1650 VCC | Low-noise 12V rail selected instead of 5V to improve balanced-line input headroom. |
Preliminary Power Budget
Table
| Rail | Main Loads | Estimated Peak |
|---|---|---|
| 18V_PROTECTED | TAS5825M PVDD plus regulator input power | Up to 5A path design target; 2A adapter will not sustain 30W+30W. |
| 3V3 | ESP32-S3 Wi-Fi peaks, PCM1863 digital/I/O, TAS5825M DVDD, I2C | ~0.7–1.0A peak design target. |
| ADC_AVDD_3V3 | PCM1863 analog | <100mA target. |
| 12V_A | INA1650 quiescent/current headroom | <50mA target. |
Audio/Input Decisions
- TRS sleeve terminals are on CHASSIS_SHIELD with R40/C59 provisional RF/bleed connection to circuit GND.
- D2/D3 are PESD15VS2UT dual-line ESD protectors; VRWM is 15V and capacitance is about 32pF typical, acceptable for audio but not ultra-low compared with high-speed ESD arrays.
- Balanced input pad is jumper-selectable per leg using J7–J10. Pin 1 is common to the INA input; pins 2/3/4 select 0dB, -10dB, or -18dB paths respectively. Use one shunt position per leg and match L/R hot/cold settings.
- INA1650 REF/COM pins use the internal VMID(OUT) reference for single-supply operation.
- INA outputs are AC-coupled and RC-filtered into PCM1863 VINL1/VINR1 single-ended ADC inputs.

Layout Risks to Address Later
- Verify the PCM1863DBT land pattern against TI DBT 0.65 mm pitch before placement.
- Validate output inductor MPNs for saturation/current/thermal performance at 18V into 4Ω.
- Confirm final generic passive packages and MPNs before manufacturing export.
- Keep ESP32 antenna at the board edge with keepout on all copper layers.
- Keep analog input/ADC far from TAS output filters and switching regulator loops.
