1. Use Notes or Text Labels: Instead of hiding the symbol, you might consider using minimalistic symbols (if available) and relying heavily on text labels or note annotations for component identification and additional details. This approach keeps the schematic legible but reduces visual complexity.
2. Organize with Blocks or Hierarchical Design: For complex schematics, consider organizing components into functional blocks or using a hierarchical design approach. This methodology involves creating sub-circuits that can be represented as single blocks on the main schematic. Each block can be labeled with names or identifiers. Double-clicking on a block would then open the detailed schematic of that sub-circuit. While this doesn't hide symbols per se, it simplifies the main schematic view.
3. Custom Components: Although it might require extra effort, creating custom schematic symbols that are visually minimalistic (or perhaps just a box with the component name) could be a workaround. This way, you can ensure that the schematic looks cleaner while retaining essential identifying information.
4. Documentation Layers: Depending on the flexibility of the CAD tool, you might be able to use layers dedicated to documentation or comments. While not exactly hiding existing symbols, you could possibly overlay or associate simple text objects with parts on these layers, emphasizing the names over the symbols. This would depend on the capability to control the visibility of layers within the software.

1. Custom or Non-standard Values: If you're using highly specific, non-standard values for resistors, capacitors, or inductors that aren't typically stocked by manufacturers or distributors, you might not find an exact match in the component library. In these cases, you may have to select the closest available component and adjust your design accordingly or add a custom component to the library if the software allows.
2. Specific Physical Sizes or Tolerances: Some designs might require components with precise physical dimensions for tight layout constraints or specific tolerances for critical applications. Ensure that the selected components in the design tool match these requirements. If not, you may need to manually adjust or look for alternate components.
3. Advanced Materials or Technologies: Certain advanced materials (like High-Q capacitors, ultra-low ESR capacitors, or precision thin-film resistors) or technologies (such as RF-specific inductors) might not be represented as generic components. These would require specific part numbers and might need to be imported or created as custom components in your design tool.

• Use a Generic Component: Many design tools, including Flux, allow you to use a generic component with the possibility of specifying the values and sometimes even the footprint manually.
• Create a Custom Component: If a specific component is crucial for your design and isn’t available, you might need to create a custom component. This typically involves defining the electrical properties, footprint, and 3D model if necessary.

1. Operational Mode of U2:
   • The operation of (U2) at pin 1 depends on the rest of the operational amplifier's configuration. Pin 1 is the output of the first amplifier within (U2). Its behavior (voltage level, impedance) will be determined by the input signal to this op-amp section and the feedback network connected to it.
2. Controlling the Charge Path:
   • If you intend to use (U2)'s output to quickly charge (C18), you are essentially using the op-amp's output to provide the charge current. This method would work under certain conditions:
     • The op-amp must be configured to source enough current to rapidly charge the capacitor.
     • The voltage at the op-amp's output must be sufficient to charge the capacitor to the desired level within your required timeframe.
3. Considerations:
   • Current Capability: The TL074CD can source or sink a limited amount of current (typically in the range of 10mA to 40mA). You'll need to ensure this is sufficient to charge (C18) quickly without exceeding the op-amp's current capacity, which could lead to damage or operational failure.
   • Control Strategy: Unlike directly controlling a switch that connects a capacitor to a power supply, using an op-amp's output for charging requires that the op-amp be configured to provide the appropriate voltage. This could involve digital control (if the op-amp's input is digitally modulated) or analog control.
   • Voltage Consideration: The final voltage across (C18) will depend on the output voltage capability of (U2), which is influenced by its supply voltage and the design of the circuit around the op-amp.
4. Benefits:
   • This approach could potentially simplify your circuit by eliminating the need for an additional switch component if you can meet the charging requirements through the op-amp alone.
   • Offers integrated control over the charging process through signal processing capabilities inherent to an operational amplifier.
5. Challanges:
   • You'll need to carefully design the op-amp circuit to ensure it can safely and effectively charge the capacitor.
   • Risk of exceeding the op-amp's current limit, impacting both the op-amp and the overall circuit's performance.

• Charging Phase: During startup or a predefined condition, an analog switch connects (C18) to the output of (U2)'s first amplifier (pin 1), allowing the capacitor to charge more quickly than it would through its default resistor path. The output voltage of (U2) must be controlled to provide the desired charging voltage to (C18).
• Normal Operation: After the charging phase, the analog switch disconnects (C18) from (U2), and the capacitor then operates in the circuit as initially intended, possibly through a resistor for slower charging/discharging or for signal processing purposes.

1. Analog Switch Control:
   • The control signal for the analog switch can come from a digital I/O pin on your microcontroller ((U4)). For the charging phase, the microcontroller sets the control pin high, activating the switch. After the charging period, the control pin is set low, reverting to normal operation.
2. Designing U2's Circuit:
   • The configuration of (U2) must ensure that its output (pin 1) can safely charge (C18). This involves setting the proper output voltage and ensuring the current capability matches the charging requirements without exceeding the op-amp's limits.
3. Selecting an Analog Switch:
   • As previously discussed, for ultra-low on-state resistance, the ADG1433 can be an option, but considering you might be looking for a dual switch solution, and focusing on the charging aspect, consider implementing a switch like the ADG736 (CMOS, Low Voltage, Dual SPDT Switch), which provides a low on-state resistance and the dual-channel configuration you need. Each channel can be controlled independently.
4. Possible Connection Scheme:
   • Analog Switch Channel 1:
     • Connect one terminal to (U2:OUT 1) (pin 1).
     • Connect the other terminal to the positive terminal of (C18).
     • Control pin connected to an I/O pin on (U4).
   • Operation:
     • For Charging: (U4) sets the control pin high, closing the switch, connecting (C18) to (U2)'s output.
     • For Normal Operation: (U4) sets the control pin low, opening the switch, isolating (C18) from (U2), and allowing it to function in its standard role within the circuit.
5. Timing Considerations:
   • Implement a software delay in the microcontroller to manage the timing of the charging phase — for example, keeping the analog switch closed long enough for (C18) to charge to the required level.

• Verify the Maximum Current that (U2) can safely supply and ensure it matches your charging requirements.
• Monitor the Capacitor Voltage during the charging phase to prevent overcharging, especially if (U2)'s output can exceed the capacitor's voltage rating.
• Characterize the Charging Time in a prototype to adjust the timing in your microcontroller’s software for optimal performance.

1. Output Voltage of Op-Amp: The output voltage that (U2) can supply to (C18) during the charging phase is inherently linked to the signal it's amplifying or the voltage level it is set to produce. If the op-amp is part of a circuit designed to produce lower voltages (for example, levels lower than (5V)), then using it to charge (C18) ensures that the capacitor doesn't receive a higher voltage than it typically would during operational conditions. This approach can be beneficial for maintaining signal integrity.
2. Signal Integrity and Operational Behavior: Charging (C18) to a voltage level that reflects the operational peak voltage levels of (U2) helps in preserving signal integrity and preventing potential distortion or improper operation. If (C18) were charged to a voltage significantly higher than the operational voltage levels (e.g., (5V) in cases where the operational level doesn't reach (5V)), there could be a risk that the capacitor discharges back into (U2)'s output when it's not supposed to, potentially leading to improper amplifications or signal distortions.
3. Capacitor's Voltage Rating: It's also vital to consider the voltage rating of (C18). While capacitors generally have a maximum voltage rating determining how much voltage they can safely handle, charging them to a level that aligns with their use in the circuit (i.e., not exceeding the voltage levels they would encounter during normal operation) is a prudent design choice. Charging a capacitor to a higher voltage than it ever reaches during operation doesn't offer benefits and could introduce risks if the voltage exceeds what connected components expect or can handle.
4. Circuit Design Strategy: Your strategy takes advantage of the circuit's existing behavior and ensures that components are used within their intended operational context. This approach minimizes potential risks associated with incompatible voltage levels or unintended feedback paths.
