USB-C Sensor Node


Implemented the schematic for the USB-C powered Wi‑Fi/BLE temperature/humidity node. It uses a SiWG917 Wi‑Fi/BLE 5.4 module, SHT41 T/RH sensor, USB-C sink input, TPS25940 true reverse-blocking eFuse with OVP/UVLO/OCP/soft-start, MP28301 3.3 V buck regulator, ESD protection, reset/ISP/SWD debug, I2C pull-ups, and status LED.
Created project files:
Open items:
  • PCB layout/routing is not done yet, so airwire DRC errors are expected.
  • Generic passives still need final manufacturer MPNs before manufacturing export.
  • Layout must enforce the SiWG917 antenna keepout and thermal isolation around the SHT41.
Suggested next steps:
  1. Set board size/stackup and move into PCB placement.
  2. Place U1 at the board edge with antenna keepout and U4 away from heat sources.
  3. Route power, buck, I2C, SWD/UART, and USB-C protection paths.
  4. Assign final passive MPNs and run full DRC/manufacturing checks.
wont you placed on pcb and draw the lines
Set up the board size and stackup, then place the components for RF and thermal best practices.
Understood. The schematic and supporting design documents are complete, but no PCB board outline, stackup, placement, or routing has been created yet.
I can’t execute the PCB setup now because the account has no available ACUs. Remaining work is to define the board dimensions and stackup, place the SiWG917 at a board edge with its antenna keepout clear, thermally isolate the SHT41 from the regulator/MCU/USB-C area, place protection and buck components tightly, then route and run DRC.
