00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.300
How does Grok run Adom Fields?

00:00:02.500 --> 00:00:03.600
On its own computer.

00:00:03.800 --> 00:00:11.200
It installs Adom Fields from the wiki,
saves its board with the zones filled,
writes the spec from its own design, and
solves.

00:00:11.450 --> 00:00:16.250
Its browser shows the app, but with no GPU
it draws three frames a second.

00:00:16.450 --> 00:00:23.300
So Grok publishes its exact solve to a
private wiki page, and we play it back on
the office PC's GPU.

00:00:23.550 --> 00:00:30.800
Current density peaks at 21 A/mm², on the
5 V output between the inductor and the
output caps.

00:00:30.950 --> 00:00:34.100
Here is the current flowing, with the
layers pulled apart.

00:00:34.300 --> 00:00:39.250
Then the heat, and U1's temperature: 12 °C
above ambient in still air.

00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:45.700
EMC: the switching loop sits 48 dB under
the FCC Part 15 class B limit.

00:00:45.900 --> 00:00:52.400
Noise: the switch node puts 45 mV on the
enable pin, close to its 50 mV budget.

00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.900
Power delivery: both rails pass.

00:00:55.100 --> 00:01:00.840
And the one medium issue: Grok's four
thermal vias sit just outside the zone
around U1.
