Cross-component rules — rule-rail-envelope, rule-tvs-clamp-vs-absmax, rule-u4-inverting-stress, rule-ldo-dropout-chain, rule-ab-interface-current, rule-q1-gate-drive-vs-contract, rule-inverting-startup-vs-pd-source, rule-pptc-vmax-vs-rail, rule-evidence-chain, rule-eurorack-output-harness, rule-screw-output-harness — with the records and facts each spans, its conditioned calculations, and what it refuses to conclude.

Generated from the component evidence records — edit the records, not this page.

A component record answers questions about one part. These rules answer the ones that span several — whether a divider built from two resistors keeps a third part inside its own limit, whether a clamp event stays under everything downstream of it. Each rule is projected whole from stored evidence: its conditions, the exact facts it rests on, any conditioned arithmetic, and the exact wording of what it refuses to conclude.

How to read these rules

  • The refusal is the rule. — Every rule states, in its own words, what may NOT be concluded from the evidence above it. That sentence is the rule's real output; the verdict is shorthand for it.

  • A verdict belongs to the rule, not to a part. — A rule's verdict says how far the cross-component question has been settled. It is never a judgement about any of the parts the rule names, and the verdicts are never combined into one.

  • Calculations are conditioned, and the conditions are the point. — Each calculation publishes its expression, its inputs and the exact results that were recorded, together with the conditions under which the answer means anything. A result read without them is arithmetic mistaken for a measurement.

  • Numbers here were carried, not computed. — The expressions are published so a reader can redo the arithmetic. This page does not evaluate them — the results shown are the ones the evidence recorded.

  • An evidence chain does not flow downhill. — A stage being settled says nothing about any stage after it. A document confirming a limit is not a measurement of the assembled board.

rule-rail-envelope

What this rule asks: Whether every part on the input rail stays inside its own recorded limits across a legal power contract, a mis-contract, and a transient clamp event.

Domain: rail-envelope

Verdict: NEEDS BENCH

This rule refuses to conclude: Do not certify regulated output or the 26.5 W rated total until all three outputs pass low-line, full-load, ripple and thermal tests with the programmed PD core.

Conditions: Current chain: Board P nominal 15 V / 3 A -> AP63201 +13.44 V, LM2596 +6.519 V and -14.145 V intermediates -> LT1963A +12/+5 V and adjustable LT3015 -12.054 V nominal. R5/R6 are 10.5 k/1 k 0.1%; tolerance/TCR/reference calculations are screening, with actual low-line dropout, ripple and thermal coupling open. Board A and original regulator facts are historical and are not current-stage proof. Prototype normal source envelope is15 V±5%,20 V unsupported; first power/programming uses5 V-only with B disconnected and retained15 V-only NVM readback before a PD-capable source.

rule-tvs-clamp-vs-absmax

Domain: tvs-clamp-vs-absmax

Verdict: UNSOURCED

This rule refuses to conclude: Do not certify hot or installed surge survival from the25C table point or enable20V operation; measure source/gate/switch/rail transients and preserve downstream source-trust and attached-load limits.

Conditions: Current P D5 is Littelfuse SMAJ16A C74561 and B D3 is Diodes SDT5A60SA-13 C3024223. Normal prototype source input is 15 V ±5% (14.25..15.75 V), leaving only 0.25 V below 16 V standoff. The 26 V maximum clamp is specified at 15.4 A,10/1000 us,25C; it is not a universal hot/installed-surge ceiling, and VBR temperature coefficient cannot be applied as a VC correction. With selected full-temperature reference and 0.35% resistor/TCR negative maximum 14.814410 V, conditioned combined stress is40.814410 V: below U4 absolute45 V,D3 reverse60 V,C9 50 V, but above U4 operating40 V. STUSB28 V,Q1 VDS30 V and input capacitors35/50 V have conditioned margin. Output TVS/load limits and actual waveforms remain separate; old SMAJ20A32.4 V/SS34 40 V comparison is explicitly retired.

rule-u4-inverting-stress

Domain: u4-inverting-stress

Verdict: NEEDS BENCH

This rule refuses to conclude: Do not infer surge or startup acceptance from normal DC margin; preserve the negative rail, floating ground and semiconductor stress calculations after every setpoint change.

Conditions: U4 local GND/ON-OFF/tab ride the renewed negative intermediate. Normal prototype input is15 V±5%;20 V is unsupported. Effective input and D3 reverse stress are VBUS plus negative magnitude:29.145 V nominal,30.564410 V at15.75 V and the14.814410 V hot/TCR screen,40.814410 V at the conditioned26 V TVS point. New D3 has60 V reverse rating and maximum0.52 V at5 A/25C (0.45 V at5 A/125C); use0.52 V for the25C conduction screen, without extrapolating a full-temperature ceiling. C9 is50 V. CCM input-current/loss calculations include25C winding DCR, while hot DCR, switching/core/quiescent losses, ringing and startup remain open. Reverse leakage is0.5 mA maximum at60 V/25C and50 mA typical only at60 V/125C; the latter is not a guaranteed hot leakage bound. Reverse-leakage heating remains outside the forward-conduction model and requires qualification.

rule-ldo-dropout-chain

Domain: ldo-dropout-chain

Verdict: UNSOURCED

This rule refuses to conclude: The new parts improve DC headroom, but mirror-source trust, full-temperature adjustment bias on both regulator types, actual low-line ripple, capacitor stability and coupled thermal behavior remain open.

Conditions: LT1963A replaces both positive regulators and adjustable LT3015 replaces the negative regulator, programmed by R26+R27 = 8.88 k over R28 = 1 k to nominal -12.054 V. AP pre-rail arithmetic is 13.219794..13.6624 V with the selected resistor/TCR envelope. Negative minimum is 13.483572 V with full-temperature reference and 0.35% combined resistor tolerance/TCR, leaving 0.433472 V above the 13.0501 V worst-case output-plus-dropout requirement before ripple. The LT3015 ADJ bias limit is specified at 25C only. LT1963A adjustment-bias maximum is only specified at 25C; do not extrapolate it as a full-temperature limit. Include load-dependent ground current in thermal screens and verify output capacitor ESR/effective capacitance.

Domain: ab-interface-current

Verdict: NEEDS BENCH

This rule refuses to conclude: Do not promote contact nameplate arithmetic to installed capability without correct mating orientation, retained board support and full-load thermal measurement.

Conditions: The current P-to-B interface is XFCN male JOUT1 to female J5: paired power pins 1/2, ATT 3, PDOK 4 and paired GND 5/6. Each contact nameplate is 3 A; paired contacts do not raise the 3 A PD contract. The unkeyed mechanical stack and actual temperature rise must be verified.

rule-q1-gate-drive-vs-contract

Domain: q1-gate-drive-vs-contract

Verdict: NEEDS BENCH

This rule refuses to conclude: Do not enable20 V or skip5 V-only first programming/readback; current gate arithmetic and a26 V table clamp do not qualify unknown factory NVM, hot surge response or measured gate/source behavior.

Conditions: Board P uses100 k source-to-gate/150 k gate-to-VBEN and source-referenced C35. Ideal asserted drive is-6 V at15 V,-6.3 V at15.75 V and-10.4 V at the26 V conditioned clamp point. These steady numbers do not establish transient gate safety. This prototype is15 V±5% only;20 V is unsupported and exceeds the new16 V TVS standoff. First power/programming must use a current-limited5 V-only source with B disconnected.

Conditions: The retained manufacturer inverting-startup warning allows approximately 4.5 A for 2 ms or longer against a3A PD contract. The renewed negative bulk remains1410uF and stores about 0.141J at 14.145 V.

rule-evidence-chain

What this rule asks: How far each claim has travelled from a manufacturer document towards a measurement on real hardware, stage by stage.

Domain: source-to-bench-chain

Verdict: UNSOURCED

This rule refuses to conclude: Do not convert document, netlist or manufacturing checks into assembled, programmed or bench evidence; keep each unresolved downstream stage explicitly open.

Conditions: Board P routed geometry and current generated schematics have distinct evidence from incoming-part orientation, assembled boards, programmed NVM and measured behavior. Primary/retained-mirror trust is explicit; a clean netlist/ERC/DRC does not prove full-load performance. Historical four-order diagnosis remains history and does not qualify this renewal.

Source-to-bench evidence chain

The stages a claim passes through, in order. A settled stage says nothing about any stage after it: a manufacturer document confirming a limit is not an inspection of the assembled board, and neither is a measurement. A stage with no facts against it is not one nobody got round to filling in: nothing has been established there yet, so the rule's conditions and its refusal above are the whole of what is known about it.

rule-eurorack-output-harness

Domain: eurorack-output-harness

Verdict: NEEDS BENCH

This rule refuses to conclude: Do not connect modules or certify polarity from a keyed housing alone; meter every rail through the actual cable and confirm solder process and loaded contact temperature before use.

Conditions: J10/J11 C4749189 replaces the old connector and guard. New pin groups1/2=-12 V,3..8=GND,9/10=+12 V,11/12=+5 V,13/14=CV,15/16=GATE. Doepfer pin1/red stripe convention is primary confirmed; imported numeric pad map, actual keyed cable continuity, finished-hole fit, wave solder compatibility and loaded contact temperature remain physical checks.

rule-screw-output-harness

Domain: eurorack-output-harness

Verdict: NEEDS BENCH

This rule refuses to conclude: Do not preserve old same-net links between the two new poles: that would short distinct rails. Do not certify18A per output from a terminal rating or visual model; verify polarity, wire retention, process, hole fit and loaded temperature within shared board targets.

Conditions: J6.1 GND/J6.2 -12V and J7.1 +5V/J7.2 +12V are separate poles. Retaining an old same-node Faston link would deterministically short distinct rails, not create an acceptable bench assumption. Whole-board targets +12V/1.2A,+5V/0.5A,-12V/0.8A are shared with J10/J11. The2.5A sum-of-magnitudes return screen adds no capacity; no18A per-output board claim is established. Mirrored UL15A/300V and IEC18A/250V ratings are conditional terminal ratings. Actual wire, torque, solder process,1.30mm finished-hole fit, loaded temperature and retention remain unverified.

Evidence stage

Recorded termWhat it means
as-builtThe assembled board has been inspected and matches what was specified.
benchThe behaviour has been measured on powered hardware.
bom-cplThe exact orderable part and its placement are confirmed in the assembly files.
conditioned-requirementThe claim has been restated as a requirement with the conditions it holds under.
generated-netlistThe requirement is reflected in the netlist the project generates.
official-sourceThe claim appears in a document the manufacturer published.
pcb-orientationThe part's orientation and pad mapping are confirmed on the board layout.
programmedThe device's stored configuration has been written and read back.
symbol-footprintThe schematic symbol's pins are mapped onto the footprint's pads.

Evidence stage status

Recorded termWhat it means
MIXEDSome claims at this stage are settled and others are not. It is not a completed stage, and the facts listed against it are the ones that carry it.
OPENNothing at this stage has been established yet. A completed earlier stage does not imply it.
