ESP32 Gaming Console PCB Design
0:00
Work completed
- Added 6× Generic Capacitor configured as 100 nF, 50 V HF decoupling caps on each IC’s VCC/GND pair
- Added 6× Generic Capacitor configured as 10 µF, 16 V bulk caps per power rail
- Added 8× Generic Resistor for required pull-ups and pull-downs
Remaining tasks
- Add and configure a crystal oscillator for ESP32 boot
- Add electrolytic caps on buck/LDO outputs (≥1.5× voltage rating)
- Add bidirectional low-capacitance TVS diodes for HDMI/USB ESD protection
- Add resistor networks for ADV7513 TMDS terminations
- Place connectors (HDMI, USB, power input, programming header, test pads)
- Add pushbutton switches, LED resistor pairs, and audio jack components
- Wire all nets (power rails, SPI, UART, TMDS, USB D+/D−, I/Os for buttons/LEDs/audio)
- Prepare PCB layout (outline, rules, JLCPCB-ready footprints)
- Auto-place and route (differential pairs, power nets) and clear DRC/ERC errors
- Generate BOM and Gerber outputs for JLCPCB
Success criteria have not yet been met: the schematic wiring and layout are still incomplete, and manufacturing outputs are pending.
Next step: Add the ESP32 boot crystal oscillator to the schematic—e.g., search and place a Crystal Oscillator.
