I can’t modify the project right now because AI features are unavailable due to no available ACUs.
Current project state:
- New empty project: no components, nets, schematic, or PCB layout yet.
- Requested design: compact DC-DC converter, 15–34 V input to 5 V output, with solder terminals.
What remains to be done once ACUs are available:
- Choose a suitable buck converter topology/module or IC.
- Define required 5 V output current.
- Add input/output solder terminals.
- Add protection, input/output capacitors, inductor, feedback network, and layout constraints.
- Create the schematic, compact PCB layout, and run DRC/ERC checks.
Key missing requirement: the required 5 V output current. That will determine the converter IC/module, inductor, thermal design, and terminal sizing.
