PCB Power Tree

Tired of creating all the documentation for a PCB design by hand? We have tried using various AI tools to build power tree documentation. It never looked professional, and it always had errors and missing elements.

We updated the Tomachie report for Maxim Pavlov's wonderful PSU-EXT design to show two new capabilities for PCB designers: interactive power tree documentation and pre-layout DC power integrity.

Power tree overview of the PSU-EXT board: Figure 2 (J1) feeds Figure 3 through the V3.3-F rail; Figures 4 (PGND) and 5 (H8) stand alone

The power tree is hierarchical: click a figure to zoom in, or follow a rail into the next figure.

The figures are fixed in the stakeholder report, but the designer can download the drawIO file, annotate or modify the drawing (add connector load currents, for example), then update the HTML with the new drawing.

More reasons now to “Be loved”!

This link is not the full report, just the interactive power tree.
