Eduard Iten 401d8f5c1b Rev 0.2: Major hardware improvements and production readiness
Hardware Improvements (Thanks to shx for schematic cleanup):
- Clean up schematic organization and structure
- Set CAN transceiver Silent pin to GND for stability
- Add status LEDs (yellow: 24V/5V/3.3V, green: MCU PB4)
- Replace jumpers with solder jumpers on bottom side
- Add jumpers to output PFETs for permanent-on without firmware
- Add robust test points for 5V/GND load testing
- Add optional heatsink for DC/DC converter on bottom
- Add 10µF capacitor for MCU on 3.3V rail

Component Optimizations:
- Replace 30kΩ with 33kΩ basic part for simplified BOM
- Change DC/DC feedback: 15.5kΩ15kΩ (new output: 5.1V)
- Upgrade CAN ESD protection: NUP2105LPESD1CAN
- Increase CAN termination resistor footprint: 04020603
- Switch USB hub supply from 5V to 3.3V per datasheet

Production Ready:
- Add all LCSC part numbers and rotations
- Generate complete production data package
- Improve PCB layout and button placement
- Create comprehensive changelog documentation

[Rev. 0.2] - 2025-12-08

Improvements

  • Schematic: Cleaned up and structured (Thanks to "shx")
  • CAN Transceiver: Silent pin connected to GND for better stability (Thanks to "shx")

Added

  • Status LEDs:
    • Yellow LEDs for 24V, 5V and 3.3V voltage indication
    • Green LED on microcontroller (Pin PB4)
  • Solder Jumpers: Replaced standard jumpers with solder jumpers on bottom side
  • PFET Control: Added jumpers for output PFETs - enables permanent-on without firmware
  • Test Points: Added robust test points for 5V and GND for load testing
  • Heatsink: Optional heatsink for DC/DC converter on bottom side
  • MCU Capacitor: 10µF capacitor for microcontroller on 3.3V rail

Changed

  • Production: Added all LCSC part numbers, defined rotations, created production data
  • PCB Layout:
    • Adjusted according to schematic changes
    • Improved button positioning
  • BOM Optimized:
    • Replaced 30kΩ with basic part 33kΩ
    • Changed 15.5kΩ DC/DC feedback to 15kΩ → new output voltage: 5.1V
  • CAN ESD Protection: Replaced NUP2105L with PESD1CAN (better suited)
  • CAN Termination Resistor: Changed footprint from 0402 to 0603 for adequate power rating
  • USB Hub: Changed supply from 5V to 3.3V (per datasheet recommendation)

Technical Details

  • DC/DC Output: New voltage 5.1V instead of 5.25V due to feedback resistor change
  • Improved Heat Dissipation: Optional heatsink on bottom side
  • Stable CAN Communication: Through ESD protection upgrade and resistor optimization
