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

Everything below is projected from this project's stored component evidence. Values keep the exact wording, conditions, units and verdicts they were recorded with — nothing here is re-typed, corrected, or combined into an overall judgement about the part.

Coverage

Coverage is stated one domain at a time and is never rolled up. A domain marked open is a question that has not been answered; it is not a finding that the part is unsuitable. A record with no open domains has not thereby been declared safe.

exact vendor identity/package/pinout

Coverage ID: cov-ao3401a-identity · Status: COVERED

Reason: UMW document title and pin figure confirm the exact C347476 identity and 1-Gate/2-Source/3-Drain pin figure.

Facts in this domain:

polarity/ratings/threshold/RDS(on)/body diode

Coverage ID: cov-ao3401a-electrical-limits · Status: COVERED

Reason: UMW absolute maximum and electrical tables supply VDS, VGS, current, RDS(on), threshold and body-diode limits.

Facts in this domain:

20V-PD-contract Q1 gate overstress exposure

Coverage ID: cov-ao3401a-pdo3-exposure · Status: COVERED

Reason: The board-a Q1 gate network (R11 100k/R12 56k) and the AO3401A's +/-12V gate abs-max are both documented, and the calculated exposure under a factory-default STUSB4500 PDO3=20V precondition (fact-umw-ao3401a-vgs-pdo3-margin, BLOCKER - deterministic spec violation) is recorded. The mitigating provision is a separate wave-6 decision-task output, not a documentation gap, so this domain is covered by evidence even though the finding is unfavorable.

Facts in this domain:

application SOA/thermal/inrush behavior

Coverage ID: cov-ao3401a-thermal · Status: OPEN

Reason: UMW thermal rows and SOA figures are available, but installed copper, inrush waveform, negotiated VBUS and temperature require bench evidence.

Facts in this domain:

Blocked by: these facts must be resolved before the domain can close. Each is listed in full under Facts.

generated connectivity versus symbol/footprint/as-built confirmation

Coverage ID: cov-ao3401a-project-netlist · Status: OPEN

Reason: The board-a-baseline projection and the committed usb-pd-input.kicad_sch record Q1's nets and R11/R12 values, but a Board A generator spec, exported netlist, footprint mapping and assembled orientation still need to be created and independently checked.

Facts in this domain: none are recorded against it.

Blocked by: no blocking fact is recorded. What is missing has not been reduced to a specific recorded fact, so the reason above is the whole of what is known.

Facts

Each fact keeps its value, its unit, the conditions it holds under, where it came from and how far it has been confirmed as separate fields, because they are separate claims. A value without its conditions is not the same fact, and a verdict is about the evidence for the value, not about the part.

ABSOLUTE_MAXIMUM

A never-exceed limit. Reaching it may damage the part; it is not an operating target and there is no margin implied by it.

Conditions: committed schematic symbol instance property values; not yet bench-confirmed on the dead v4 boards

Verdict: NEEDS BENCH · Provenance: PROJECT-CHOICE

Evidence: src-ao3401a-usb-pd-input-sch: symbol instance property rows R11 Value=100k and R12 Value=56k

Fact: fact-umw-ao3401a-vgs-pdo3-margin

Value: -0.8205128205128212 · Unit: V

Conditions: Margin between the AO3401A |VGS| absolute maximum (fact-umw-ao3401a-vgs, 12 V) and the calculated Q1 |Vgs| when VBEN is asserted (U1.16 driven low) with VBUS_IN at the factory-default, unreprogrammed STUSB4500 PDO3 voltage of 20 V (doc/src/content/docs/inbox/nvm-programming.md factory NVM defaults table: PDO3=20V/1.0A, highest priority) and the as-designed R11(100 kOhm)/R12(56 kOhm) gate divider (fact-umw-ao3401a-gate-resistor-values): the gate node sits at VBUS_IN*R12/(R11+R12) and Vgs = that node minus VBUS_IN (source) = -VBUS_IN*R11/(R11+R12) is approximately -12.82 V. Negative margin means the datasheet's +/-12 V abs-max is exceeded by about 0.82 V on a factory-default (unreprogrammed) NVM, before any 15V-only reprogram is applied. VBUS_IN and R11/R12 are project design values, not manufacturer-primary AO3401A evidence, and are hardcoded as literals in this calculation rather than as separate depends_on facts, matching the component-ss34-c8678 D3-reverse-margin pattern; only the 12 V limit is externally sourced. This is an epic-investigation finding; the wave-6 decision task decides the provision (NVM reprogram-before-first-attach gate, a resistor-value change, an added clamp/limiter, or another mitigation) -- this fact only records the numbers.

Verdict: BLOCKER - deterministic spec violation · Provenance: CALCULATED

Evidence: src-umw-ao3401a-c347476-datasheet — Calculated from fact-umw-ao3401a-vgs, the board-a Q1 gate divider (R11=100k/R12=56k, src-ao3401a-usb-pd-input-sch) and the factory-default STUSB4500 PDO3=20V value (doc/src/content/docs/inbox/nvm-programming.md factory NVM defaults table)

Calculation dependencies

These values were derived from other recorded facts rather than read from a document. The expression and every input are published so the number can be recomputed instead of trusted. A derived value is never stronger than the weakest fact it depends on.

Pin maps

The mapping between schematic pins and PCB pads, or physical terminals for an external part, as recorded. A record may carry more than one map when the same part is documented in more than one context.

Interactions

Behaviour that is not a property of this part alone. Each interaction names the records it spans, the conditions it holds under, and how far it has been confirmed. An interaction that spans several parts appears on every one of their pages, under the same identifier, because it is equally a fact about each.

int-umw-ao3401a-netlist

  • Records involved: rec-umw-ao3401a-c347476 (this record)

  • Conditions: board-a-baseline asserts Q1.1 (gate) on Net-(Q1-G) with R11.1, R12.2 and C35.1; R11 100 kOhm pulls the gate to VBUS_IN for default-off, R12 56 kOhm carries the STUSB4500 VBEN (U1.16) drive. Q1.2 (source) sits on VBUS_IN. Q1.3 (drain) sits on VBUS_OUT with R13.1, TP1.1 and the future board-a J4.1/J4.2 (+15V) connector pins. Verify the exported netlist, symbol/footprint mapping and as-built orientation once Board A KiCad assets are acquired; reversed source/drain or a gate-source excursion beyond +/-12 V is a deterministic blocker (see int-umw-ao3401a-pdo3-exposure for the calculated PDO3 exposure).

  • Verdict: NEEDS BENCH

Facts this rests on:

int-umw-ao3401a-bench

  • Records involved: rec-umw-ao3401a-c347476 (this record)

  • Conditions: Scope VGS, VDS, inrush and steady current with the STUSB4500-negotiated VBUS_IN (15 V target, and 20 V if PDO3 is still enabled); confirm off leakage/body-diode direction, load regulation into the board-b DC-DC stage, case temperature and SOA margin with the intended J4/board-b downstream load.

  • Verdict: NEEDS BENCH

Facts this rests on:

int-umw-ao3401a-pdo3-exposure

  • Records involved: rec-umw-ao3401a-c347476 (this record)

  • Conditions: Epic-investigation finding: on a factory-default (unreprogrammed) STUSB4500 NVM, PDO3 (20 V) has highest priority and a 20 V-capable PD source negotiates it before any 15V-only reprogram is applied (doc/src/content/docs/inbox/nvm-programming.md). With VBEN asserted and VBUS_IN at 20 V, the Q1 gate divider (R11 100k/R12 56k) puts Vgs at approximately -12.82 V (fact-umw-ao3401a-vgs-pdo3-margin), exceeding the AO3401A's +/-12 V gate absolute maximum (fact-umw-ao3401a-vgs) by about 0.82 V. This bundle records the numbers only; the wave-6 decision task decides the provision (NVM reprogram-before-first-attach gate, a resistor-value change, an added clamp/limiter, or another mitigation).
