Project Spec Refinement

Review schematic and DRC issues, finalize the power budget, then optimize placement without routing.
I’ll audit the schematic and current ERC/DRC findings, resolve issues that affect layout readiness, finalize the power budget in the project files, then optimize component placement while leaving every net unrouted.

Power Budget

View Document

Power Budget Scope and assumptions
Datasheet-grounded planning budget for the 3.3 V rail and 1S LiPo/USB sources. Battery capacity and OLED model are unspecified, so runtime is expressed parametrically and OLED current is an explicit allowance, not a claimed value. Values are estimates until verified on assembled hardware.
  • Battery usable range: 3.0–4.2 V, protected 1S LiPo; capacity Cbat mAh remains TBD.
  • 3.3 V rail: TPS63070 in power-save mode; 54 µA typical VIN quiescent current and 5 µA typical VOUT quiescent current from the datasheet test condition.
  • Conversion assumptions: 85% conservative at 3.0 V for peak sizing; 90% planning efficiency for moderate active loads. At sleep currents, efficiency is not used; quiescent and leakage currents are added directly.
Blocked because no ACUs are currently available, so the schematic review, DRC remediation, finalized power budget, and placement optimization could not be executed. No schematic, PCB, routing, or project-file changes were made; routing remains untouched.

Functional Blocks and Sourcing Plan
  • Power input/load sharing/charger: from scratch; TP4056 200 mA and Microchip AN1149-style USB/battery power-path topology.
  • 3.3 V regulator: from scratch around TPS63070 or verified equivalent, using datasheet/EVM support values.
  • MCU: ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 PCB-antenna module with native USB, straps, ADC divider, and service header.
  • Sub-GHz radio: CC1101 315 MHz reference topology per TI Figure 10/Table 21 and SWRR046.
  • Remote interfaces: locking cable connectors for USB daughterboard, OLED, and controls.
  • Mechanical: 75.0 x 30.0 mm four-layer main PCB with four 2.2 mm mounting holes; enclosure photos are approximate evidence only.
Validated reference projects will be searched by block; if no clean importable module exists, real library parts and manufacturer reference circuits are used.
