USV Power Distribution Board

December 2021

Designed a power distribution board to power and monitor UVEEC's Unmanned Surface water Vehicle (USV). This power board contains multiple voltage regulators to handle high amounts of current and steps down a 6S battery to 3V3, 5V, 7V4, and 12V rails for powering devices across the USV. It integrates important protection features such as overcurrent, emergency shutoff, reverse voltage, and ESD protection. The power board also keeps track of every power line to monitor the power drawn across the USV and can shut down any device when battery is running low.
