Hello,
First of all, thank you for providing reference designs. I have some questions. TIDA-182 will be the reference for my questions.
- I see big red crosses on the related pdf files. Are they the results of changes through versions and mean "omit this component" ? If this is the case, why dont you update the design pdf file but put a cross instead?
- Even if there is a red cross over a component in the pdf file (like TIDU441 of TIDA182, Figure 5 L1) the crossed out component exists in pcb file. Do we have to check for crosses in the pdf before using the pcb file and update the pcb file if necessary?
-Continuing on TIDU441 of TIDA182, Figure 5 L1: What is the point paralleling L with a resistance of zero ohms? Is this some kind of convenience, saying "i advice putting an L filter but if you dont want, dont put L and short the points instead"
-(If red crosses mean cancelling the related component) Would you consider at least a small note for the reason of removal of the related component? Is the reason mostly cost and/or complexity reduction? Noting the reason of change might be helpful. A filter not required in a design might be needed in another design for noisy environment, for example.
-For the pcb file of TIDA182: when I try to "create sheet symbol from sheet", altium returns an error for multiple ports with the same name inside a single schematic file. I changed repeating ports to nets to provide connectivity within the same sheet and it solved the problem. Is this a design mistake for the TIDA182 or am i missing some pcb design issue?
Thank you in advance
