I did plenty of research (at least one hour a day) to get myself more acquitted with analogue circuit. Since my task at this stage is mostly power circuit, this week was mainly spent reviewing the overall power section of the system and understanding how power is distributed to different parts of the circuit. I focused on identifying the main power paths, the role of the input supply, and how different voltage levels are provided for control and switching components. General considerations such as startup behavior, stability, and safety were explored at a conceptual level. I also spent time comparing possible approaches for supplying and regulating power and noting potential constraints based on component ratings. This work helped establish a clearer direction for future design decisions and implementation planning.
