Schematic Sheet Reviews
power.SchDoc (<Rayyan Mahmood>)
Add a second LED for 1.8V out
Change the colour of this title to match the colour of “GND”, “3V3”, etc.
Add test points for 1.8V and 3.3V and a GND test point as well.
Look at the 48-17V buck schematic and see which TPs were used for the power and GND and use the exact same ones here

GPS_Module.SchDoc (<Rayyan Mahmood>)
Put GND pins at the bottom like you did with the filtering caps
Is this going to be a firmware feature? As in will firmware be needed to “detect_antena”?
We can place TPs afterwards for this as we continue to work through it as we learn more about RF and antenas as required.
Still may potentially add external antenna

Can you explain and justify this 1kohm resistor here? After briefly checking datasheet, I am seeing mixed opinions on it depending on if there is a “rechargable battery” being used which I don’t think is applicable to us.
Generic Schematic Reviews
Net Naming (<Reviewer Name>)
- All major nets named
- No duplicate net names, or nets with multiple net names
- Differential pairs end with _N and _P
- Active low signals are indicated with either a “_n” at the end or with overbar notation (using a “\” character after each letter in the net name, i.e. E\N\)
Wiring and Connections (<Reviewer Name>)
- No 4 point connections
- All unconnected pins have an ERC directive
- Devices sharing an I2C or SPI bus must be simultaneously powered on/off (i.e. by powering them all off of the same power rail) - prevents unpowered devices from pulling the bus low
- Lines that require pull ups are pulled up in exactly one place (not pulled up multiple times, or missing pull-ups)
Component Labels (<Reviewer Name>)
- ICs show part number
- Resistors show resistance value
- Capacitors show capacitance and voltage rating
- For capacitors, voltage rating is 2x higher than expected voltage for low-voltage nets (<12V), 1.5x higher for high-voltage nets (>12V)
- Inductors show inductance and rated current
- Ferrites show impedance @ frequency value
- Diodes show part number, voltage rating, and current rating (if applicable). Exception is for LEDs, which only need part number
Design-for-Test (<Reviewer Name>)
- All voltage rails have test points and an LED indicator
- Enable/shutdown/reset/etc. lines for ICs have test points
- Communication interfaces have test points (i.e. I2C, SPI, UART)
- All sensor outputs have test points
- Any other signals that might want to be checked during testing should have a test point
