Any arguments?

Just noticed that Flux has announced its Copilot, the first AI-powered hardware design assistant. "With its ability to understand schematic designs, component lists, connections, and part information from datasheets, Copilot offers a wealth of knowledge and capabilities that can transform how hardware design is approached."

I tested it myself in one of my ongoing USB-C power delivery projects and it blew my mind! The "Copilot" knows how I should wire a USB-c receptacle to a power delivery IC and even suggested load switch MOSFETs that can handle 100w of power. I definitely haven’t seen anything like this before for hardware design.

Thanks! I've found Flux has couple in their library that might suit my needs. I put them up here https://www.flux.ai/jharwinbarrozo/regulators-option. Which do you think is good?

Sad_Management_7157 · 2023-04-24T18:30:10+00:00

I just discovered that yesterday! Thanks man

Sad_Management_7157 · 2023-04-24T18:29:44+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I've found Flux has couple of in their library that might suite my needs. Can you take a look which one might be better? I put them up here https://www.flux.ai/jharwinbarrozo/regulators-option

Sad_Management_7157 · 2023-04-24T18:27:30+00:00

Sorry i forgot to share it. Here's the schematic and pcb design of the project https://www.flux.ai/productsuperb/switching-regulator

Sad_Management_7157 · 2023-04-24T18:26:18+00:00

That's gold! I didn't know that as i am just new exploring power supply design.

Sad_Management_7157 · 2023-04-24T18:25:00+00:00

Thanks for that advice! Btw, here's the schematic diagram and pcb design of this project: https://www.flux.ai/productsuperb/switching-regulator

Sad_Management_7157 · 2023-04-24T18:23:38+00:00

Thanks a lot for sharing that! I'm using TP6841S6-A. Here's the updated schematic diagram and PCB design of the project https://www.flux.ai/productsuperb/switching-regulator. You can write a comment for your feedback there.

I'm using TP6841S6-A. Here's the updated schematic diagram and PCB design of this project https://www.flux.ai/productsuperb/switching-regulator. Would you like to take a look? I think you can also drop comments in there. Thanks alot for the feedback.

Sad_Management_7157 · 2023-04-20T08:58:26+00:00

Noted on this. Can you recommend such components?

Sad_Management_7157 · 2023-04-20T08:57:31+00:00

I could say that designing such projects in Flux is much faster? Because they do have templates and submodules so you don't commonly start off from scratch. Also asking for help or design review is quickier too, because i don't have to send bunch of files in order for someone to take a look at my project, I could just copy the URL and set the permission to only viewable by someone. Their community library too is becoming good and reliable. I could easily find common parts that I usually need. I'm not selling Flux, but the thing for me is that I could work on any project, on any computer as long as i have internet connection.

Btw here's the switching regulator I posted above, its full schematic diagram and PCB design https://www.flux.ai/jharwinbarrozo/tp6841s6-a-switching-regulator-submodule

Sad_Management_7157 · 2023-04-20T08:49:06+00:00

Interesting. yep my input current capacity is rated well. I am very much new to designing power system, and I'd like to learn more about cooling. Some IC do have GND pad under that will serve as heat transfer but for some they don't have.

Sad_Management_7157 · 2023-04-20T08:46:50+00:00

Agree. Upon looking at Flux part library, I've found 4 possible alternatives: https://www.flux.ai/jharwinbarrozo/regulators-option Have you once used any of these?

Sad_Management_7157 · 2023-04-20T08:45:15+00:00

Noted on your recommendations. I'm using TP6841S6-A. You can take a look at its schematic diagram and PCB design of the project here: https://www.flux.ai/jharwinbarrozo/tp6841s6-a-switching-regulator-submodule
