Phase 1 Board Design Specifications


Gestoppt wegen fehlender ACUs.
Erledigt:
  • Ich habe die verbliebenen Smart-/Stitching-Vias identifiziert; ein pauschales Löschen per Designator wurde vom Tool nicht angenommen.
  • Danach habe ich wie gewünscht sofort den Autorouter gestartet.
  • Der Autorouter-Job wurde angelegt, aber pausiert: auto-layout-7d947991-29b9-4485-907a-45d238c93c13.
Offen:
  • Autorouter konnte wegen fehlender ACUs nicht fertig laufen.
  • Zusätzlich meldet die Preflight-Prüfung: Board fully placed / Move components to be placed outside the boundary — praktisch heißt das: ein oder mehrere Bauteile liegen zu nah an der Boardkante bzw. minimal außerhalb/auf der Grenze.
  • Nächster Schritt: kurz Boardfläche vergrößern oder Randkomponenten leicht nach innen schieben, dann den pausierten Autorouter erneut starten.
Erstelle mir ein Dokument mit allen Komponenten drauf und was da was macht/welchen Sinn was hat.
Damit ein Mensch das prüfen kann. Fokussier darauf deine Aktionen, weil du hast nur 1.5 ACUs um das zu tun. Also schreib direkt das Dokument.
Erledigt: Ich habe direkt ein menschlich prüfbares Komponenten-/Funktionsreview-Dokument erstellt: Komponenten- und Funktionsreview.
Es erklärt die Funktionsblöcke, relevanten Designatoren, Netze, den Sinn der Bauteile und die wichtigsten Review-Punkte vor Fertigung/Layout-Abschluss.
Review, fix, export

Toob-Boot HIL-Rig — Phase‑1 Board Specification
Scope
Phase 1 implements only:
  • SCC — Site-Carrier-Card: one per DUT site.
  • BKP — Backplane: passive 5 V/GND/SYNC/SAFE/Slot-ID distribution for N≥8, initially usable for 5 sites and electrically prepared for 8 slots.
  • ADP interface definition: passive DUT adapters/harnesses mating to the standardized J-DUT connector.
Phase 2 boards (SNF, DCC-*, RFI) are not designed in this project. Their interfaces are frozen only via SCC DNP reservations and DUT-side connector definitions.
Frozen Interfaces
J-DUT — standard DUT connector, 21 logical pins
1 VDD_BOARD_IN, 2 VDD_MCU_DIRECT, 3 VDD_SENSE, 4 GND, 5 GND, 6 GND_SENSE, 7 UART_TX_TAP, 8 UART_RX reserved, 9 TRIG_GPIO, 10 PHASE0, 11 PHASE1, 12 RECOVERY open-drain, 13 SWDIO, 14 SWCLK, 15 nRESET, 16 JTAG_TCK, 17 JTAG_TMS, 18 JTAG_TDI, 19 JTAG_TDO, 20 SPARE0, 21 SPARE1.
The schematic uses a keyed/latching higher-position connector candidate (J_DUT_FINAL) so the frozen 21 logical contacts are preserved and extra contacts can remain reserve/NC.
J-BP — SCC/backplane slot connector
Multiple 5 V and GND pins, SYNC, SAFE, SLOT_ID[0..2] for up to 8 slots, and spares/reserves. Slot-ID strapping is implemented for slots 1–8; slots 6–8 are electrically prepared for expansion.
J-SNF / SPI tap reservation
SCC includes DNP reservation for future SNF trigger and high-impedance SPI tap pads. No SNF circuitry is populated or designed in Phase 1.
SCC Functional Blocks
  • 5 V input protection: protected 5 V input via resettable PTC/fuse class part, local bulk capacitance and separation between shared input and local switching load.
  • Housekeeping 3.3 V rail: LDO from protected 5 V, powering Pico VSYS, DAC, INA monitor, EEPROM, comparator and sense circuitry. Pico VBUS is intentionally not used for power.
  • Victim rail: buck-based adjustable supply using U_VICTIM_BUCK (LMR33630-Q1 class) with inductor, bootstrap, feedback network, DAC feedback injection and power-good monitor. Optional filtering/post-regulation remains a layout/measurement decision to meet the low-noise victim-rail goal.
  • High-side Kelvin shunt: value/gain to be finalized during calibration, sized for ~1.5 A full-scale design basis.
  • Slow monitor: INA-class I2C current/voltage/power monitor.
  • Fast monitor: INA187A3-class fast current-sense amplifier to comparator, Pico ADC and test point; optional DNP fast-ADC path remains reserved.
  • Load switch: soft-start load switch controlled by Pico, with pull-down OFF and global SAFE design intent.
  • Active sink: N-FET + R_lim controlled by Pico PWM/driver, with gate pull-down OFF for safe-state; final sink current and sag waveform calibrated with dummy load.
  • OVP/DUT protection: NodeA hard clamp at 3.3 V Zener/TVS class with requirement to keep NodeA ≤3.6 V; DUT signal lines include series/protection topology and unused ESD-array channel is NC.
  • Pico socket: RP2040 Pico headers; USB is data-only and backplane-derived housekeeping power feeds the Pico through VSYS.
  • Calibration EEPROM: card serial, shunt nominal, sense gain and DUT calibration profile pointer.
  • Test points: NodeA, GND_SENSE, fast-sense output, comparator output, trigger lines, sink gate, regulator FB and SYNC.
BKP Functional Blocks
  • 5 V PSU input sized for N≥8; target preliminary budget ≥8 A preferred for 8 slots.
  • Star-ground distribution: multiple ground pins per slot and a central single-point ground strategy for layout.
  • SYNC bus: distributed to all slots; PCB layout must implement short/matched stubs and series termination at the driver.
  • SAFE line: host-driven global shutdown request to every SCC.
  • Slot-ID strapping: implemented for 8 slots with SLOT_ID[0..2].
  • USB is not routed on the backplane.
Preliminary Power Budget
Per SCC preliminary peak design basis:
  • Victim rail: up to 1.5 A transient at approximately 0.8–3.6 V.
  • Housekeeping 3.3 V: Pico + support ICs, provision 250–300 mA peak until measured.
  • 5 V input per card: provision 0.8–1.0 A peak including margins and regulator losses.
  • BKP N=8: design target 5 V at ≥8 A preferred; final value confirmed after DUT characterization.
Calibration / Layout-Phase Items
  • Final connector P/Ns/footprints for J-DUT, J-BP, J-SNF and Pico socket must be locked against mechanical constraints before PCB layout.
  • Victim rail output filtering/post-LDO option must be confirmed by noise and load-step measurements.
  • Shunt value, sense gains and comparator thresholds must be calibrated for the actual DUT current envelope.
  • Sink FET/R_lim and gate profile must be calibrated against DUT/adapter decoupling.
  • Mechanical card size, slot pitch and chassis constraints remain layout inputs.
  • Per-DUT ADP pin mapping, injection node and decoupling modifications are adapter-specific, not SCC redesign items.
Layout Constraints to Enforce Later
  • Victim power path short, wide, low-inductance: regulator → shunt → switch → NodeA → J-DUT.
  • Kelvin force/sense at both shunt and J-DUT.
  • Dirty/quiet ground partition with single-point tie near shunt/ADC reference.
  • Fast-sense input as tight differential pair away from sink switching edges.
  • OVP and ESD protection physically close to NodeA/J-DUT respectively.
  • Do not connect USB VBUS into the backplane/SCC power tree; use USB data-only operation for the Pico.
