General (prev)
Decision: I selected a 4-layer PCB stackup (Top: signal + ground pour; L2: solid GND plane; L3: solid 5 V power plane; Bottom: signal + ground pour). Reason: provides controlled return paths, reduced EMI, easier decoupling via short vias to ground plane, and improved thermal dissipation for the TPS56624x and LM317 linear regulators.

Your OBD-II to UART interface board is now fully realized: we distilled your requirements into a clear system architecture, placed the STN2120, HS/MS/SW-CAN transceivers, MOSFET/BJT K/L and J1850 drivers, DB9 connector, UART header, TPS56624x buck and LM317 regulators, ESD clamps, termination resistors, RC filters, series resistors, pull-ups, and decoupling caps (100 nF, 1 µF, 10/22 µF with derating) all per spec. Nets are wired correctly, ERC/DRC reports zero errors, the worst-case power budget exceeds 30% headroom, and we’ve set up a standard 4-layer PCB with auto-routed traces, proper plane assignments, mounting holes, footprint MPNs, and manufacturability checks completed—your design is ready for production.

- A generic fixed capacitor ideal for rapid circuit topology development. You can choose between polarized and non-polarized types, its symbol and the footprint will automatically adapt based on your selection. Supported options include standard SMD sizes for ceramic capacitors (e.g., 0402, 0603, 0805), SMD sizes for aluminum electrolytic capacitors, and through-hole footprints for polarized capacitors.
