USB-C Temperature and Humidity Sensor Node Design

flux

I’m blocked from making project changes right now because execution credits are exhausted, so I have not added or wired any components in the schematic yet. The project is still empty: 0 components and 0 nets.
Recommended design direction for your USB-C Wi‑Fi/BLE temperature/humidity node:
  • MCU / radio: ESP32‑C6 or ESP32‑S3 module/class device for 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi b/g/n plus BLE 5.x. ESP32‑C6 is a strong low-power/default choice if Wi‑Fi 6 support is acceptable in addition to b/g/n compatibility.
  • Sensor: digital I²C temperature/RH sensor such as Sensirion SHT40/SHT41/SHT45 or TI HDC302x.
  • Power input: USB‑C receptacle configured as a 5 V sink using CC pull-down resistors.
  • Input protection: USB VBUS protection path with reverse-current blocking, over-voltage protection, under-voltage lockout, and over-current protection sized for 0.5–3 A USB sources.
  • Regulation: protected 5 V input to a high-efficiency 3.3 V regulator sized for Wi‑Fi TX current bursts, with datasheet-required input/output capacitors.
  • RF / consumer product details: module antenna keepout, ESD protection on USB, low-noise sensor placement away from regulator/MCU heat, test points, and regulatory documentation for FCC/CE pre-scan planning.
What remains to be done once execution is available:
  1. Rename the draft project and create a project specification.
  2. Select exact parts from the Flux library.
  3. Calculate the power budget before selecting USB protection, regulator, and current-limit parts.
  4. Add MCU/radio module, T/RH sensor, USB‑C connector, protection ICs, regulator, passives, programming/test points, and mounting hardware.
  5. Wire the schematic per datasheets, including decoupling, pull-ups, boot/programming pins, USB‑C CC resistors, ESD/protection, and sensor I²C.
  6. Run schematic review/ERC and fix all unresolved violations.
  7. Create bring-up, firmware pin map, and regulatory planning documents.
  8. After schematic is clean, ask for your approval before moving to PCB layout.
