Guitar Pedalboard Power Supply Design
Thought
Work Completed
- Updated project description with detailed functional goals and hashtags (#pedalpower, #rechargeable, #9V1A, #USB-C, #centrenegative).
- Defined the system architecture and saved a mermaid diagram.
- Added key power components:
Tasks Remaining
- Add other active components:
- USB Type-C Receptacle
- 5.5×2.1 mm Barrel Jack
- Main power switch (slide or toggle)
- Charge and power status LEDs
- Add supporting passives (decoupling capacitors, LC filter inductor/capacitor, current-sense resistors, reverse-polarity diodes).
- Add four center-negative barrel output connectors with overcurrent and reverse-polarity protection.
- Complete net connections and run ERC.
- Prepare PCB layout: verify footprints, set 1590B/1590BB outline, configure stackup, place mounting holes.
- Define layout rules, place components, and route nets.
- Perform DRC and manufacturability review.
Success Criteria Review
- Regulated 9 V @ 1 A output: not yet implemented
- Four protected barrel outputs: not yet added
- Main switch, LED indicators, enclosure fit: pending
Recommended Next Step
Add the remaining active components (USB-C connector, barrel jack, power switch, and LEDs) to the schematic to complete the power-path architecture before moving on to passives and connectivity.
