Compact HDMI/USB PCB Redesign
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
My current EasyEDA project already carries both an HDMI interface and a USB 3.0 port. The sole objective now is to push the layout into a noticeably smaller footprint without sacrificing signal integrity or changing the schematic beyond what is strictly necessary.
You’ll be working inside the existing EasyEDA workspace, so please be fully comfortable with its layer management, impedance-controlled routing features, and high-speed design rules. I expect you to review component placement, swap footprints where practical, shorten differential pairs, and generally squeeze every millimetre while respecting HDMI TMDS and USB 3.0 SuperSpeed constraints.
Deliverables (all via EasyEDA):
• Updated PCB file that is manufacturable and clearly smaller than the original board
• Fresh Gerber pack, drill files, and pick-and-place data that pass JLCPCB/Seeed DRCs out of the box
• Brief change log noting any component substitutions or layer-stack tweaks
Acceptance will be based on successful DRC, preserved connector pin-outs, and clear evidence of a reduced outline. If you can propose further optimisations—such as moving to a four-layer stack or adopting smaller shielded connectors—let me know; I’m open to ideas provided they align with the primary goal of shrinking the board.
