Power: bring in 12V with reverse-polarity, TVS, PTC.
Implement on the GIGA shield, then ERC/DRC and layout.
A few specifics I’ll follow:
For 12V outputs, I’ll list high-side options (dedicated driver ICs or P‑MOSFET), low-side NMOS, and load-switch choices with tradeoffs, not a single “can/can’t.”
For 12V inputs, I’ll use a three-element protection scheme (series Schottky diode, TVS diode, and resettable PTC fuse) plus divider/clamp, and size the series resistor so clamp current stays within MCU injection limits.
Questions to proceed:
How many IO channels, and which pins? What directions (in/out) and any PWM/analog needs?
For outputs, do you need high-side (12V sourcing) or low-side (sinking) drive, and what max current per channel?
What is the 12V source and environment (bench vs automotive)? Any isolation required?
Click Start on the plan bar when ready, and I’ll execute this plan.
