This is the second text only update as there is not a lot to mention since the last blog post. I have completed the prototype PCB design and have sent of quotes to a couple of board prototype companies. I hope to get a response soon on the cost and delivery times.
The schematic and PCB had very small changes made, choosing a couple of inductors and a couple of resistor changes to set the required voltage output.
I ordered a couple of samples from TI with surprisingly fast delivery times. The last one received took 2 days from the day of request to being at my door. Incredibly fast and many thanks for the speed. I know if i will design another product which I will do one day, I know that TI is an excellent start for components.
I have also ordered a number of other passive and active components from Element14, plus a hot air/soldering station, which I will need to solder the components.
The next blog entry will hopefully contain video content on I hope the final step before testing. I was unable to follow the design requirements set down from TI regarding placement due to size constraints but I have created my own layout style based on my own knowledge and hope it will allow the system to work straight away.
