POWER sheet (completed)
Symbols and reference designators (placeholders)
Hierarchical ports (exact net names)
  • Rails/grounds: VBUS_HV, +5V_BACKPLANE, +3V3, COM_IN, +5V_USB, GND, CHASSIS_GND, CHASSIS_TO_GND_TIE
  • Control/status: EN_5V_BACKPLANE, EN_3V3, EN_NIC_RAILS, PGOOD_5V, PGOOD_3V3, PGOOD_COMIN, FAULT_PSU, PD_OK, PD_HIGH_POWER_OK, PD_DERATE, +5V_BP_SENSE, GND_BP_SENSE
Power-path wiring (logical)
  • J_USB_C.VBUS → D_TVS.A → U_HS.IN
  • U_HS.OUT → VBUS_HV (hierarchical port)
  • J_USB_C.CC1 ↔ U_PD.CC1 (direct local wire, no global net label)
  • J_USB_C.CC2 ↔ U_PD.CC2 (direct local wire, no global net label)
  • U_PD status outputs → PD_OK, PD_HIGH_POWER_OK, PD_DERATE (hierarchical ports)
  • U_HS.FAULT → FAULT_PSU (hierarchical port)
  • J_USB_C.SHELL → CHASSIS_GND
  • All device grounds (U_PD, U_HS, U_5V, U_3V3, U_COMIN if used, D_TVS cathode return) → GND
Regulators and rails (star from VBUS_HV)
  • VBUS_HV → U_5V.VIN; U_5V.VOUT → +5V_BACKPLANE
    • U_5V.EN ← EN_5V_BACKPLANE
    • U_5V.PGOOD → PGOOD_5V
  • VBUS_HV → U_3V3.VIN; U_3V3.VOUT → +3V3
    • U_3V3.EN ← EN_3V3
    • U_3V3.PGOOD → PGOOD_3V3
  • COM_IN selectable branch (populate only one):
    • Option A (buck): VBUS_HV → U_COMIN.VIN; U_COMIN.VOUT → COM_IN; U_COMIN.PGOOD → PGOOD_COMIN
    • Option B (pass-through): VBUS_HV → JP_COMIN → COM_IN; PGOOD_COMIN sourced from a generic “COM_IN_GOOD” placeholder on U_COMIN block
  • +5V_USB: exposed as a separate rail (hierarchical port), not tied to +5V_BACKPLANE on this sheet
Backplane sense (Rev-A ties)
  • +5V_BACKPLANE → R_TIE_P → TP_BP → +5V_BP_SENSE (hierarchical port)
  • GND → R_TIE_G → TP_BPG → GND_BP_SENSE (hierarchical port)
Chassis bonding (single point)
  • CHASSIS_GND ↔ X_TIE ↔ GND
  • Export CHASSIS_TO_GND_TIE (hierarchical port) at X_TIE to indicate intentional single bond location
Notes/constraints applied
  • USB-C is power-only; no D+/D- routing on this sheet.
  • VBUS chain: USB-C VBUS → TVS → Hot-swap/eFuse → VBUS_HV.
  • Star topology: VBUS_HV feeds 5V and 3.3V bucks, and the COM_IN option block.
  • +5V_USB is a distinct rail placeholder for rear I/O (USB-A, HDMI_5V_OUT via switch/fuse on REAR_IO), not tied to +5V_BACKPLANE.
  • CHASSIS_GND only bonds to GND through X_TIE; no other chassis–digital bonds on this sheet.
  • All enable/PGOOD/PD nets are exposed as hierarchical ports; generic resistors provided only as placeholders (no values).
