V2 PCB component research #26
Description
NEW Protection Circuitry Research
Goals:
- Use the “Information on Protection Circuit” doc to find all listed components
- Ensure all components have an accessible footprint on Altium
- Research a voltage regulator (specifically LDO or an equivalent for converting 5V to 3.3V on the board)
- Please also find all components on digikey, list all prices and ensure everything is available immediately
Deliverables:
A document containing:
- List of verified components
- Bullets for each selected component
- Prices for each component
Due: Thurs Dec 4th
Goals:
- Identify components that can be ordered from Digikey and have corresponding footprints in Altium ( or downloadable libraries)
- Ensure components are cost-effective while meeting project requirements
- Provide a finalized list of verified components to the PCB design team
- Investigate overvoltage protection components to use for the design
- Provide recommendations and investigate suitable board adapters and connectors for the design
- Like screw terminals, pluggable connectors or other reliable methods
- Ensure you consider the availability and cost of all the components found (per component should not be more than a couple dollars)
Resources:
- Digikey, Adafruit for current pricing and availability
- Digikey usually has downloadable libraries for symbols/footprints for each component
- Research datasheets and manufacturer specifications to ensure compatibility and reliability
Please note:
- If you can not find the verified footprint for the component in Altium you can download the footprint library and add it to the component in altium just provide that in you components list as a note.
- Please make sure all of your components cost a reasonable amount (per component should only be a couple of dollars)
Deliverables
- A document containing:
- List of verified components
- Recommendations for board adapters and connectors
- Bullets for each selected component
- Share your list with the PCB dev team!
