E-003 — DEC-003 — Local rail voltage generation: 5V, 3V3, 1V8 from 20V input decision

Details
Decision
The adapter shall generate three local regulated supply rails on-board from the 20V USB PD input: 5V, 3V3, and 1V8.
Rationale
Module slots require standard logic supply voltages. Generating them locally avoids dependency on host equipment.
Rejected alternatives
None discussed — requirement stated directly by engineer.
Follow-up
- Capture as formal requirements in SPECIFICATION.md.
- Select regulator topology (LDO vs switching) during schematic capture.
