The MUREX ROV Shield
8+

## 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.

34+
### Changelog
35+
36+
V1.0:
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
54+
- Replaced the Si7336ADP with the SIRA00DP, a newer solution by Vishay with lower Rds, minimal thermal resistance and higher power dissipation. No external heatsinks required
55+
- Replaced 1x2 screw terminal with 1x3 terminal, breaking out 5V and 3.3V
56+
- Added two mounting holes for stability
57+
- Decreased physical footprint by 20%

The MUREX Shield is the world's first open-source modular power protection board designed for ROVs and other high current applications. A hotswappable controller hat and power panel provide exceptional thermal dissipation, space-efficency, and easy replacement.

## Detailed Description
10+
11+
The MUREX Shield is an ultra-compact and modular "two-piece" power protection system designed for ROVs/robotics and other high current applications. The shield is currently tested to handle 300W (12V @25A linear) safely. A custom LM7481 Ideal Diode Controller hat attaches onto the main power panel, which hosts back-to-back IRFB3077PbF N-channel MOSFETs and TVS diodes to provide transient protection, reverse polarity protection, shorting safeguards, inrush current control, and undervoltage and overvoltage protection. Jumpers on the LM7481 hat provide multiple configurations for UVLO+OVLO, ranging from 6V to 18V. Status LEDs on the hat and power panel indicate safe power input.
