Project Start


The schematic has materially progressed to 166 components and 150 electrical nets, including added support circuitry and cassette/audio routing. However, I cannot run the final ERC reconciliation or export the updated schematic because no ACUs remain.
Main ICs
  • STM32H7A3VGT6 — main MCU/audio processor
  • TLV320AIC3204 — stereo audio codec
  • BM83SM1-00TB — Bluetooth audio module
  • Si4735-D60-GU — FM/RDS receiver
  • ADA4805-2 — cassette playback/record analog stages
  • ADG884 — analog audio routing
  • TPA6132A2 — headphone amplifier
  • MP2624 — Li-ion charger/power path
  • TPS63070 — 3.3 V buck-boost supply
  • TPS7A2030 — low-noise analog supply
  • TPS62825 — adjustable motor supply
  • DRV8837 — erase-head driver
  • LMC555 — bias oscillator
  • LTC2954 + TPS22995 — pushbutton power control
Still required
  • Run a fresh ERC and correct every remaining critical finding.
  • Verify cassette EQ, recording level, bias current, and erase performance on physical hardware.
  • Export the updated schematic PDF only after that check.
  • PCB placement and routing have not been completed; existing Gerbers remain unusable.
