The battery charging circuit on FC Venus board is the one depicted on page 56
of this TI document:

Specifically, it is the circuit depicted on the right side of Figure 7-5, the
circuit with the charging power source at the top and the battery at the bottom.
Going from net VCHG (output of our charging control switch S701) to net VBAT
(battery +ve terminal), the charging circuit consists of Q401, D404 and R407
strung in series, with R406 adjoining between Q401 and D404.  The exact location
of this circuit on the board will be up to the PCB layout engineer, but we
expect that all 4 of the just-named components will be placed on the same side
of the board (either top or bottom), with surface traces (no vias) carrying the
charging current (500 mA design intent) from each component to the next.  It is
important to note that whichever side of the board this circuit is placed on,
it will NOT be located inside either of the two shieldcan areas.

Two signal traces VCCS and VBATS will need to run from wherever the charging
circuit ends up residing on the board to corresponding U202 Iota chip terminals
inside the baseband core shieldcan.  These traces do not carry current, instead
they are differential inputs to a voltage-measuring ADC, specifically measuring
the voltage drop across R407 and thus deducing the current that flows through
the charging circuit at each given moment.

Galvanically VBAT (board-wide battery power distribution) and VBATS (one side
of the differential pair measuring the voltage across R407) are the same net,
but we would like them to be seen as two separate nets by our EDA tools, to
facilitate proper routing.  The Mother's idea is to use intnoconn feature of
pcb-rnd:

More specifically, the Mother's idea is that the subcircuit representing R407
will have 4 terminals rather than 2, with terminal numbers assigned as follows:

Pin 1 = resistor side 1, surface layer
Pin 2 = resistor side 2, surface layer
Pin 3 = resistor side 1, inner layer
Pin 4 = resistor side 2, inner layer

The idea is to include in-pad microvias going one layer down inside the
subcircuit, and put terminals 3 and 4 on the inner layer.  Terminals 1 & 3 will
form one intnoconn group, and terminals 2 & 4 will form the other intnoconn
group.  Surface traces carrying the charging current will connect to terminals
1 and 2, whereas sensing nets VCCS and VBATS will connect to terminals 3 and 4
on the inner layer.

Our current ueda source implements this idea at the netlist level; creation of
the corresponding pcb-rnd subcircuit remains TBD.
