Power Distribution Board

Power Distribution Board or PDB of Tilt Drone Racer has been specifically

designed to withstand high racing electrical requirements along with

voltage supply filtering. The first commercial version of Tilt PDB is

released with version 1.4. Following are the features of the PDB:-

4 ESC terminals with 30A current rating can be used on the PDB.

Can withstand high current up to 120A on the battery terminals.

Voltage filtering circuitry for clean supply at different locations of

the racer drone. Uses LM2596 filter circuit design.

3 access terminals for +12V voltage. A total of nine 12VDC supply

points are provided.

3 access terminals for +5V voltage. A total of nine 5VDC supply

points are provided.

Clean access to ESC soldering pads and separate access to ESC

output motor soldering pads.

High current access drill pads for better current propagation

throughout the circuit.

Ground copper pour for low noise generation.

Clean design and enhanced appeal.

Page 2 Power Distribution Board (PDB) DRAFT Code No. MD04001-00-1307 Soldering Tilt Drone Racer is built for professional users only. The use of PDB is open but needs to be handled with responsibility. Following are the general guidelines while soldering on the PDB:- Always clean the tip of your soldering iron while soldering on the terminals.
Page 3 Power Distribution Board (PDB) DRAFT Code No. MD04001-00-1307 Circuit and notes The PWR_FLAG (power flag) in the schematic below denotes the type of electrical connection on the power terminal and is not a component used in the circuit. The filter circuit used is a standard LM2596 filtering circuit. If you wish to use a different regulator to generate +5V and +12V, you can do it.
Page 4 Power Distribution Board (PDB) DRAFT Code No. MD04001-00-1307 mentioned, from the beginning we put that small cap as optional, in case of need and that you won’t usually need both small caps (leaving you one of the TILT sides free to connect the USB. We are already changing the PDB design to correct this and other small issues (labeling for instance).

Page 10 Power Distribution Board (PDB) DRAFT Code No. MD04001-00-1307 NOTE: the PDB version shown here is previous than the one you got. Check that the positive and negative cables are properly oriented, meaning you will solder the ESCs in the flipped 180 deg with respect to these pictures. This is to have the MOSFETS on the top for better cooling.
