Hi everyone,
I’m pretty new to PCB design and reverse engineering, and this is my first attempt at trying to reverse engineer a part of a PCB. So far, I’ve managed to trace out a portion of the schematic (see attached picture and schematic), but I could use some help moving forward.
What I’ve found:
- The section seems to be a filter circuit with an L-C combination.
- Component SX603 looks like it might be an ESD protection diode.
My questions:
How can I figure out the values for:
- C600, L600, C601, L601, and SX603?
- What’s the purpose of the 0-ohm resistor in the circuit? I’m seeing one here, but I’m not sure why it's used.
- Why is the ESD diode only placed on the tip and not also on the ring of the connector? Is there a design reason behind this?
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated, especially since this is my first time trying something like this. Thanks in advance for your help!
