12 V to 5 V / 1 A Buck Molecule (TPS54202)
Public Unreviewedby John Lauer
An independently designed 12 V to 5 V, 1 A synchronous buck molecule (TI TPS54202), with calculations, ngspice and PSpice simulation, KiCad 10 schematic and board, and the board laid out and analysed with adom-aiflow.

Everything here is something you can do in Adom Hydrogen for your own board.++[Watch the video on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKUMzy261zs)++## Capture while you build++You can't film the past, so the footage has to be recorded during the run:++- **Every step, as it happens.** adom-aiflow records a clip of each step (placement, routing, pours, analysis, silkscreen) with Adom Bridge's window recorder. Those raw clips are on the [build clips](clips.md) page.+- **The prompt being typed.** Record the AI thread in Hydrogen while you type the request, so the video can open on it.+- **Your apps at work.** Hydrogen shows the AI on the left and a webview on the right, which is a good frame for dashboards such as the Adom SPICE dashboard.+- **The token cost.** Note the tokens the run used if you want a cost scene.++## Make the shots++- **Smooth 3D.** The board orbit and the D1 close-up are rendered frame by frame from the board's 3D model in a headless browser, not screen-recorded, so they never stutter.+- **Analysis views.** The current and heat shots come from Adom Fields, captured the same way.+- **Pages and schematics.** Wiki pages are captured scrolling, and the schematic is a high-resolution export panned with a slow, eased camera move.+- **Motion in every scene.** Every shot has a gentle push-in or pan, and long recordings are sped up to their action.++## Scenes++| starts at | scene | footage |+|---|---|---|+| 0:00 | Logo | The Adom logo sting. |+| 0:04 | The prompt | The request typed into Claude Code in Adom Hydrogen. |+| 0:15 | The board | An orbit of the finished board, rendered from its 3D model. |+| 0:30 | The circuit | The KiCad schematic, with the 3D chip outlines on U1, C1, L1 and D1. |+| 1:00 | Simulation | The Adom SPICE dashboard in Hydrogen's webview, with the LTspice and PSpice for TI windows driven through Adom Bridge. |+| 1:28 | Placement | KiCad 10 driven live through the Adom KiCad Bridge. |+| 1:41 | Routing and pours | The routed board, the copper pours, then each net (GND, VIN, VOUT, SW) selected in KiCad. |+| 1:55 | Current and heat | Adom Fields with the parts standing on the heat map, flying in to the SW-node choke point. |+| 2:10 | The rework | The reroute, the SW neck circled in KiCad, and the final heat map. |+| 2:27 | Silkscreen | The silkscreen placed live, group by group. |+| 2:38 | Part models | The board before and after the part models got their part numbers, and a close-up of D1. |+| 2:54 | On the Adom wiki | The parts' own wiki pages. |+| 3:08 | What it cost | The AI tokens the build used. |+| 3:27 | Inside Hydrogen | The AI and the webview working together. |+| 3:48 | Logo | The closing sting. |++## Put it together++- **Review clip by clip.** Load each scene into adom-video-post's storyboard and approve them one at a time before assembling.+- **Voice.** The voice-over is a human recording, laid over the finished cut. adom-tts works for a draft narration while you review.+- **Thumbnail.** Built from the project's own pieces: the analysis render of the board, a Hydrogen screenshot and the Adom brand fonts.+- **Hosting.** Upload a high-quality master (we used 1440p) to YouTube and link it from your page.++The [aiflow-process-video](https://wiki.adom.inc/adom/adom-aiflow) skill in adom-aiflow walks your AI through all of this for your own board.
