The audited defects have been corrected. I’m verifying the revised pulse capacitor, reverse-current protection, RF2 termination, battery ADC path, and ERC state before deciding whether the 25 mm placement can proceed.

The final schematic cleanup is complete. I’m confirming that only the real reservoir remains and then I’ll close this phase with the mechanical go/no-go for the 25 mm prototype.

The CR1632/QFN schematic redesign is complete and ERC-clean at 68 components / 43 nets. It now uses the DW3210 QFN, TPS63900 2.7 V rail, MAX40200 reverse-current protection, switched battery monitoring, and correct RF2 termination; all charging circuitry is removed.
Blocking issue
- The only credible reservoir found is a 3.5 F, 20 × 10 × 22 mm supercapacitor. It supports the coin cell electrically but cannot fit inside the 25 mm golf-ball assembly.
- A CR1632 alone cannot reliably supply the DW3210’s UWB current peaks.
Next decision
- Use the CR1632 and external supercapacitor for a bench-only electronics prototype, or
- Return to a compact high-rate rechargeable/custom cell for the in-ball prototype.
I have paused placement rather than creating a mechanically impossible board. Please choose the bench-only CR1632 version or the in-ball high-rate-cell version.
