  • The PCB for TinyUTM master

    Moving from simple but messy electronics to semi-industrial PCB solutions is neither easy nor quick when certification is the goal. And yet, we’re pretty much there now. Assembly and testing are next.

    Preliminary summary — all electrical checks on the bare board passed:

    • No shorts between +12V, +5V, +3V3_DIG, +3V3_ANA, VREF and GND/AGND

    • Full continuity along all expected paths (regulator→ferrite bead, feedback divider, USB protection)

    • No shorts on any pin of J206, including D+/D-

    • No shorts on D_USB1

    • Everything consistent with the schematic, no surprises.

    EDIT (30 Jul): Discrepancies between KiCad’s default libraries and the datasheets for two key parts require a v1.1 revision. Although the PCB layout and physical geometry appear sound, this update also offers an opportunity to incorporate additional fail-safe measures. No copper damage was found.

  • Pre-launch testing, certification and documentation

    We are completing a structured pre-launch validation program covering: performance verification; standards compliance testing; safety and regulatory requirements; software and data integrity; reliability and environmental testing; and quality management processes.

    Deliverables include: CE Declaration of Conformity, Technical Specification Sheet, User Manual, Software Documentation, Product Liability Coverage, and Service Infrastructure.

    Each machine is factory-verified using reference instrumentation traceable to ISO 7500-1 Class 1 standards. Accredited calibration is available on request.

    The official TinyUTM launch will take place once all validation items have been satisfactorily completed.
