Pre-layout decision:
Choose one:
A. Keep AD5940 as placeholder only
B. Add separate 1.8 V LDO placeholder
C. Add level-shifter placeholder only
D. Split DVDD_AD5940 from MCU_3V3
E. Need human datasheet review before schematic changes
Report only:
AD5940 rail blockers
SPI/logic blockers
missing application-circuit components
recommended next schematic action
whether current AD5940 section is safe for PCB layout: yes/no
I’ll run a read-only AD5940 datasheet-limits review against the current placeholder section, check rails, SPI logic, pin-role mapping, and application-circuit gaps, then report only the blockers and next action.
J_ELECTRODE_DOCK is the premium front-panel electrode/phantom dock placeholder.
Connector class:
Premium keyed medical/test-grade push-pull circular connector, LEMO/REDEL or equivalent.
Do not use cheap screw terminal as the primary connector.
