@copilot list all ICs and the decoupling capacitors attached to each. Ensure to include all ICs present in the design, including digital ICs, power converters, LDOs, etc. For every IC, clearly state:
  • What power net the decoupling capacitors are attached to. What is the stated voltage of that net.
  • The voltage rating and value of the attached decoupling capacitors.
  • Signal with the expression “[WARNING]” if any of the following conditions are met: no decoupling capacitors are attached; the voltage of the power net is higher than the voltage rating of the capacitor; No voltage range was stated for the capacitor. Give a separate “[WARNING]” for each condition. Signal with the expression “[OK]” if none of those conditions are met
  • Express the result in a markdown-formatted table

Looking at your current project description, I see only one Integrated Circuit (IC) which is a PIC16F628A-I/P Microcontroller (MCU). However, no decoupling capacitors or electrical connections are mentioned in your project description. Given this, I could not determine the attachment of decoupling capacitors to the IC, nor could I verify the voltage of the power net or the voltages and values of any decoupling capacitors.
I suggest adding decoupling capacitors to your project to enhance stability. Typically, 0.1 μF to 1 μF capacitors are used for decoupling microcontrollers; these should be connected close to the power pins of the microcontroller. Moreover, ensure that the capacitors' rated voltage is at least 20-30% higher than the power net voltage to account for any fluctuations.
Once you have added these elements to your project, please share the updated schematic, and I will help you review it as per your requirements.
However, I can provide an example table that you might use once decoupling capacitors are added to your design:

Table


IC NamePower NetStated Net Voltage (V)Decoupling Capacitor Value (F)Capacitor Voltage Rating (V)Status
If any issue is detected, you'll replace 'Status' with '[WARNING]', otherwise '[OK]'. If decoupling capacitors aren't found, you'll signal '[WARNING: No Decoupling Capacitor]'. If power net voltage exceeds the capacitor's voltage rating, write '[WARNING: Voltage Exceeds Rating]'. If no voltage range is stated for the capacitor, write '[WARNING: No Capacitor Voltage Range]'.

Flux is a browser-based electronics CAD program designed to help you build electrical schematics and layout PCBs. Here's a basic walkthrough on how to get started:
  1. Creating a project: Log in to your Flux account and click on "New Project". Here you can name your project and set other project options. If you don't have a Flux account yet, you can sign up and choose from one of the free plans.
  2. Designing a Schematic: Next, navigate to the Schematic Editor. Here, you can drag and drop components from the component library onto the canvas to create your circuit.
  3. Connecting the Components: Connect your components by drawing wires between the corresponding pins. Make sure to reference designators and pin names for accurate connections.
  4. Creating a PCB Layout: Once your schematic is complete, switch over to the PCB layout designer. Flux will auto-generate a PCB layout based on your schematic. You can then move and rotate the components as desired and reroute the traces if needed.
  5. Checking Your Work: Use Flux's 'Design Rule Check' (DRC) feature to ensure your PCB abides by all rules set and has no electrical or design issues.
  6. Exporting Your Design: Once you're happy with your PCB layout, you can export your design files for manufacturing. Flux supports Gerber, Drill file and 3D model exports.
In case of more specific questions or troubleshooting needs, Flux provides various support channels such as their Slack community, issue-tracking tool for bug reports, feature request sections, contact page, and a rich library of video tutorials, crash courses, and recorded events[1]. Happy designing!

Flux is an electronic design automation tool that allows you to design electrical schematics and lay out Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). Here is a basic step-by-step guide on how to use Flux:
  1. Create an Account: If you haven't yet done so, create a Flux account.
  2. Start a New Project: Once you're logged in, you can start a new project. Give the project a name and a brief description.
  3. Design the Schematic: You can select components from Flux's library and drag them onto the canvas to create your schematic. Each component may be rotated, moved, or deleted as needed. You may also connect components using wires.
  4. Layout the PCB: After designing the schematic, you can move on to the PCB layout. This is where you decide where each component and trace will be located on the actual physical board.
  5. Design Review & Export: Check your design for any potential issues using Flux's design rule check (DRC). Afterwards, you can export your design as Gerber files, which are used for PCB manufacturing.
  6. Ask for help when necessary: Should you encounter issues or require further assistance, Flux offers various support channels, including a Slack community, their issue-tracking tool, and a feature request section[1].
For more detailed tutorials and examples, you may want to check out Flux's YouTube channel [2].
Remember, patience and practice are key to becoming proficient with any new tool. Happy designing with Flux!

Sure, this project revolves around a microcontroller which is a PIC16F628A-I/P from Microchip Technology. This is an 8-bit microcontroller that features 3.5KB of FLASH memory and operates at 20MHz.
The microcontroller is specified in a 18-PDIP package format. Each pin on this chip has potential different functions, which can be configured depending on the application requirement. Here are some details about the individual pins:
  • RB6/T1OSC0/T1CKI/PGC (Pin 12): This pin is a bidirectional I/O pin and can also be used as Clock input for Timer 1 or for programming the device.
  • Vref/AN2/RA2 (Pin 1): This pin can serve as a reference voltage or an Analog input (Channel 2)
  • RB5 (Pin 11): This is a general purpose bidirectional I/O pin
  • TOCKI/CMP2/RA4 (Pin 3): This pin can be used as an external clock input or comparator(CMP2) input.
  • CMP1/AN3/RA3 (Pin 2): This pin can be used as an analog input or for comparing voltages.
  • MCLR/Vpp/RA5 (Pin 4): This input pin is used for device reset.
  • VDD (Pin 14): This pin is for power input(Battery or DC power source).
  • RB4/PGM (Pin 10): This is a general purpose bidirectional I/O pin and can be used for programming the device.
  • RB0/INT (Pin 6): This general purpose bidirectional I/O pin can be used for external interrupts.
  • AN0/RA0 (Pin 17): This pin can be used as an analog input.
  • RB7/T1OSI/PGD (Pin 13): This pin can function as a general purpose I/O and for programming the device.
  • RB2/TX/CK (Pin 8): This general purpose I/O pin can be used for serial transmission.
  • RB3/CCP1 (Pin 9): This pin can be used for Capture/Compare/PWM module.
  • VSS (Pin 5): This is the ground pin for the microcontroller.
  • AN1/RA1 (Pin 18): This pin can function as an analog input.
  • CLKIN/OSC1/RA7 (Pin 16): This pin can be used to provide external clock and oscillator input.
  • RB1/RX/DT (Pin 7): This pin can act as a receive line in serial communication.
  • CLKOUT/OSC2/RA6 (Pin 15): This pin can be used for clock output or to provide an external oscillator.
No electrical connections have been made in this project yet, it's in an initial stage and no external components are added. Each pin's function can be customized based on your design's requirements. So far, it's just a microcontroller and its pins are not connected to anything.
