Computer Power Distribution Board

Not a full review yet, I have not had a large amount of time to go over.

Schematic

Nice and clean.

  • Labels/net names for some of the more important nets would be nice.
  • CAN bus lines NEED to be hooked together.

TODO (for me, the reviewer):

  • Verify converter design
  • Check availability/cost/etc. on digikey

Layout

Again, nice and clean. Has a few DRC errors that need to be fixed though.

  • Not necessary, but a bottom-side groundplane should be added.
  • Power traces need to be made wider/polygons
  • I'm not entirely sure what the layout guidelines are for the converters, not really sure what is good/bad for power supply design. May want to look in a little more detail into those.
