USB 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.
I can’t analyze or run auto-layout because no ACUs are currently available, so no PCB changes were applied in this session.
Remaining work:
  • Inspect the current PCB for unplaced components and unrouted nets.
  • Set or verify board outline and stackup.
  • Auto-place components with SiWG917 antenna keepout and SHT41 thermal isolation.
  • Auto-route required nets and run DRC.
  • Apply and verify the layout results once ACUs are available.
