What are the pads SBU1 SBU2 for?

@copilot What are the pads SBU1 SBU2 for?
2y
The pads "SBU1" and "SBU2" are associated with the USB-C connector in your project (Designator: J1). These pads represent the Sideband Use (SBU) lines in the USB Type-C interface.
SBU lines are additional data lines that can be optionally used for alternate modes in USB Type-C specifications. Essentially, they allow the USB-C connector to support a variety of protocols beyond just USB. Common alternate modes include DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, and MHL, which means a USB-C port can output video and other types of data if the connected device supports it.
Bear in mind that you need to follow specific protocols for using these lines depending upon the intended functionality.

@copilot I just noticed R2 and R3 do not have resistances set. Given this circuit design, and the need for a voltage output of 3.3v, what should they be set to?
1y
Given that the circuit uses the TPS62130RGTR, which is a step-down (buck) converter, the resistors R2 and R3 are likely configured to set the output voltage. This is done using a voltage divider connected to the feedback (FB) pin of the converter.
The standard output voltage equation for buck converters with resistive feedback is:
VOUT=VREF(1+R2R3)V_{OUT} = V_{REF} \left( 1 + \frac{R2}{R3} \right)
For the TPS62130, the reference voltage $ V_{REF} $ is typically 0.8V.
Given that $ V_{OUT} = 3.3V $, let's solve for $ R2 $ and $ R3 $:
3.3V=0.8V(1+R2R3)3.3V = 0.8V \left( 1 + \frac{R2}{R3} \right)
Rearranging the equation,
1+R2R3=3.3V0.8V1 + \frac{R2}{R3} = \frac{3.3V}{0.8V} R2R3=3.3V0.8V1\frac{R2}{R3} = \frac{3.3V}{0.8V} - 1 R2R3=3.1251\frac{R2}{R3} = 3.125 - 1 R2R3=2.125\frac{R2}{R3} = 2.125
Any ratio that satisfies this condition will work, but typically E96 series resistors (1% tolerance) are used to get precise values. You can choose standard resistors such as:
  • $ R2 = 21.25\text{k}\Omega $
  • $ R3 = 10\text{k}\Omega $
Let's use commonly available values close to these standard resistor values:
  • $ R2 = 21.5\text{k}\Omega $
  • $ R3 = 10\text{k}\Omega $
These values should provide an output voltage very close to 3.3V.
To update the resistors in your project:
  • Set R2 to 21.5kΩ
  • Set R3 to 10kΩ

@copilot I need convert 5-12V to 3.3V with 800mA out for powering ESP32-S3. Which IC you can recommend?
2y
For converting 5-12V to 3.3V output with 800mA, you will need a DC-DC Buck (step-down) converter. One common type of IC that you might want to consider is a switching regulator.
Here are a few options:
  1. MP1584EN from Monolithic Power Systems: It's a high-frequency, synchronous, rectified, step-down, switch-mode converter with built-in power MOSFETs. It offers a very compact solution to achieve a 3A continuous output current over a wide input supply range.
  2. LM2596 from Texas Instruments: It is a monolithic IC that provides all the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of driving a 3A load with excellent line and load regulation. However, it's a larger component than some of the more modern alternatives.
  3. TPS62130 from Texas Instruments: This is a high efficiency and easy to use synchronous step down DC-DC converter capable of up to 3A of output current. The wide input voltage range of 3.0 to 17 V makes it suitable for a wide range of applications from industrial to automotive.
All these options support an output of 800mA and can handle input voltages up to 12V or higher. However, the circuit details like the output voltage setting, input and output capacitors, and inductor value would vary depending on the IC chosen.
Be sure to review the datasheet of the chosen IC for their specific design requirements, including the recommended circuit layout and the necessary external components.
Please note that it's really important to manage thermal issues in your design. Even though these ICs can handle your required output current, you have to make sure your PCB design can handle the thermal dissipation, especially if you're planning to draw 800mA constantly.
