Project Specification: RED KOMODO-X Power IO Distribution
Goal
Design a 75×66mm 2-layer FR4 1.6mm PCB with 2oz copper on both layers for a professional RED KOMODO-X cinema camera power and IO distribution device. External panel connectors connect by soldered flying leads only; the PCB uses edge solder-pad terminals, not connector footprints.
Architecture

Required Components
  • LTC4412IS6 OR controller, TPS26600PWPR master switch, AMS1117-3.3 LDO
  • AO3401A P-channel MOSFETs ×2, SI2302 tally MOSFET
  • SMAJ18A ×2, SMAJ5.0A ×1, BAT54 ×1, BLM18AG601SH1D ×2
  • 100uF 25V electrolytic bulk, 100nF 0402 ×10, 10uF 0402 ×4, 0402 resistors ×18, 0603 LEDs ×3
  • Four M3 mounting holes 5mm inset from corners
  • Edge solder-pad terminals for all external flying leads
Layout Requirements
  • Board: 75×66mm rectangle, FR4, 1.6mm, 2-layer, 2oz copper both sides
  • Top: components and signal traces
  • Bottom: ground plane with power pours and via stitching on power nodes
  • Power input components bottom edge
  • ORing and TPS26600 lower center
  • AMS1117 and signal/IO components upper half
  • Edge solder pads grouped by function with pad labels
  • Signal and power ground pours split and connected at a single star point near the lower-left main power input
Notes and Assumptions
  • Since panel connectors are external, PCB external interfaces are implemented as solder pads with named nets.
  • A library-compatible BLM18AG601 series ferrite bead is used for the requested Murata BLM18AG601SH1D function.
  • The resettable 6A breaker is represented in the schematic as a labeled series element/terminal path for the aux rail unless an exact breaker footprint is added later.
  • TPS26600 design note: the selected TPS26600PWPR is a 2.23A-max eFuse when RILIM is set to 5.36k. This is below a true 6A camera/aux distribution path, so the schematic uses the selected device but this current-rating mismatch must be reviewed before production if the main bus is expected to carry camera plus accessory current above roughly 2A.
  • TPS26600 RTN note: RTN is kept as a separate support-component reference net for ILIM, dVdT, MODE, SHDN bias, and UVLO/OVP divider returns; it is not intentionally shorted to PGND so reverse-polarity behavior is not defeated.
  • AMS1117 stability note: the 3.3V output capacitor is set to 22uF minimum per AMS1117 stability guidance and should be placed close to VOUT/SGND.
