| 9 | +## Detailed Description |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +The MUREX Power Board is a compact four-layer power "integration" PCB designed for ROV/robotics and other high current applications. The board expects clean 12V input from a power supply through a horizontal Mega-fit connector, though it can safely handle input voltages up to 17V. The board utilizes two TPS568230 buck converters to provide 5V + 3.3V for the [MUREX Carrier Board](https://docs.murexrobotics.com/elec/boards/cm4_carrier.html), 3.3V for the [MUREX Ethernet Switch](https://docs.murexrobotics.com/elec/boards/networking/switch), and 12V + 3.3V for the [ESC Carrier Board](https://docs.murexrobotics.com/elec/boards/anyesc_carrier.html). A LTC4352 Ideal Diode Controller controls back-to-back SIRA00DP N-channel MOSFETs to provide reverse polarity protection, shorting safeguards, inrush current control, overvoltage and undervoltage protection, and status LEDs that indicate safe power input. Power monitoring is provided by Texas Instruments' INA226, a shunt-based power monitor interfaced through I2C, sensing current, voltage, and power. |

| 37 | + |
| 38 | +- Initial Design |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +V1.1: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +- Removed M.2 connector to Carrier Board (Board Thickness > 0.8mm) |
| 43 | +- Removed ACS712 Hall-Effect Sensor to save cost and board space |
| 44 | +- Added AGND islands to reduce circulating currents |
| 45 | +- Broke out INA226 I2C pins |
| 46 | +- Switched 12VIN connector from Super Sabre to Mega-fit |
| 47 | +- Fixed Si7336ADP polarity |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +V2.0: |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +- Replaced TPS562815 with the TPS562830, a newer, smaller, more efficient alternative by TI |
| 52 | +- Added inrush current control, undervoltage, and overvoltage protection configurations to the LTC4352 using back-to-back mosfets |
| 53 | +- Added TVS diode for surge protection |
