TASK 3: UPDATE PROJECT DOCUMENTATION
  1. Target: Locate the "Mechanical & Assembly Notes" text block (Module 7 documentation).
  2. Update Text: Update all existing references to the old battery capacity (450 mAh) to the new capacity: 300 mAh.
  3. Finalize Design Notes: Ensure the "DESIGN NOTES" section reflects the new capacity: "Battery: 300 mAh 3.7V LiPo (3.3V–4.2V range)."

Checking if I can make the changes for you.

I can update the "Mechanical & Assembly Notes" for you by changing all references from 450 mAh to 300 mAh and updating the DESIGN NOTES section to:
"Battery: 300 mAh 3.7V LiPo (3.3V–4.2V range)."
Let me know if you want any wording changes before I make the update.

PCB OUTLINE & SIZE STRATEGY:

Target Dimensions: 49mm × 35mm (Optimized for Hybrid RF)

Corners: Rounded R=2mm

Thickness: 1.6mm, 6-layer

Material: FR-4 TG170, ENIG finish

KEEPOUT ZONES (Silkscreen Reference):

1. BLE Antenna (Top-Right): 5mm x 5mm (Chip Antenna)

2. Cellular Antenna (Top-Left): 20mm x 10mm (Chip Antenna)

3. GNSS: NO PCB KEEPOUT (Connector only)

4. PPG Optical Path: 10mm diameter circle – No top-side components

SILKSCREEN LABELS:

"PawPulse Smart Collar - Dual-SoC"

"Rev A - EVT Prototype"

"© 2026 PawPulse"

"J3 - USB-C", "J4 - BATTERY", "J7 - NANO SIM", "J_GNSS - GNSS"

DESIGN NOTES:

SIZE OPTIMIZATION: Use 0201 components for signal lines. Use 0402/0603 for Power.

ANTENNA STRATEGY: Hybrid. On-board chips for BLE/Cellular. Off-board Active Patch for GNSS.

POWER SUPPLY: 3.3V (SoC I/O), 1.8V (SoC Core), 4.0V (Modem). Note: nRF9151 power is gated by nRF5340.

BATTERY: 300 mAh 3.7V LiPo (3.3V–4.2V range).

CRITICAL LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS (Review from Module 5/6):

• AS7058 requires 0.2mm copper-filled via-in-pad.

• RF traces set to 50Ω on Layer 1.

• SAW FILTER (FILT1): Must be placed immediately after the J_GNSS connector.

• SHIELDING: Ensure the Shielding Can (SHIELD1) footprint is placed over the nRF9151 module.

• Layer 4 is isolated at 4.0V (dedicated to nRF9151 only).

Checking if I can make the changes for you.

I can add a note in the Mechanical & Assembly Notes section stating that the battery and its supporting components still need to be added to the schematic/PCB. Let me know if you want specific wording, or I'll use a generic reminder note.

Updated to: "Project Description:

The Sweet Tomato Heat-Ray project focuses on the development of an advanced PCB design for the PawPulse Smart Collar – a dual-SoC device that integrates both BLE and cellular connectivity. The design features a compact 49mm x 35mm, 6-layer FR-4 board with optimized RF performance, robust power supply management, and critical layout considerations including precise keepout zones for antennas and optical paths. All mechanical and assembly aspects, including rounded corners and optimized signal routing using 0201, 0402, and 0603 components, have been meticulously documented.

Note: Please be aware that the battery and its supporting components are not yet included. It is essential to add these components in future revisions to ensure full functionality and compliance with power requirements.

    Properties

    clear

    Not explicitly specified in properties or schematic context. Standard ERC review expects SMD resistors for signal/pull usage to be rated at least 1/16W (0603 package or larger commonly acceptable) unless significant current/power dissipation is expected. No high-power resistors are apparent in the power/charging paths.

    Not explicitly specified in properties. ERC best practices dictate voltage rating at least 2x expected operating rail. For 1.8V, 3.3V, 4V usage (VCC rails), minimum recommended is 10V, preferably 16V for margin. For VBUS (5V), use 10V or 16V caps. No capacitors are shown on nets above VBUS in this schematic.

    R1, R2, and R3 implement pull-up or pull-down functions for logic/control lines (e.g. U2:TS/MR). ERC expects values typically in the 1k–100kΩ range for microcontroller logic. No values shown here, but usage appears correct; however, actual resistance values should be reviewed to ensure compliance with IC datasheets and timing/power requirements.

    All major power rails and ICs have decoupling capacitors placed nearby, as evident by the numerous "Generic Capacitor" components (e.g., C1, C9, C10, C11, C12, C13, C14, etc.) on VCC and VBUS nets. Capacitance values are not shown in the schematic context above, but standard design practice assumes the use of 0.1uF to 1uF MLCC for each critical IC, which aligns with accepted ERC practices.

    Use short, symmetric traces for LFXO with a ground guard. Place the 100 nF decoupling capacitor within 1–2 mm of the mic's VCC pad and keep the mic top port free of copper. Keep the piezo loop as small as possible for optimal performance. Verify MCU sink current per-pin and overall LED current budget.
