Pixel 7 Car Power Mod
Thought for 7 sec
I’ll identify every failed or marginal component from the latest validation, evaluate stronger drop-in or topology-compatible alternatives for sustained and transient output current, then implement the best practical corrections and revalidate the complete power path.
Worked for 3 mins 39 sec
I prepared the full upgrade scope and constraints, but execution is blocked because no ACUs are currently available. No schematic changes were made.
Remaining work:
- Recalculate the 15 V input power budget for 6 A continuous / 8 A transient output.
- Identify and replace failed or marginal parts, especially the input protection, switching MOSFETs, shunt, inductor, capacitors, and reverse-blocking path.
- Verify losses, temperature, package height, and hand-solderability.
- Restore/confirm connectivity after replacements.
- Rerun ERC and power-stage validation.
- Update the validation report with the final pass/fail verdict.
Thought for 3 sec
No changes could be made because ACUs are currently unavailable.
The revised validation should include 20 V PD input as the preferred option: it reduces cable and input current, but requires rechecking 20 V hot-plug margin, capacitor/eFuse/MOSFET ratings, duty cycle, switching losses, and PD-trigger behavior. Remaining work is to select stronger current-path components, replace failed/marginal parts, restore connectivity, and rerun ERC plus thermal/power-stage validation.
