Questions

How big is the NixiePowerSupply PCB?

It measures 50.8 × 44.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the NixiePowerSupply use?

21 parts, built around the MAX1771CPA+, ES2F and IRF644. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the NixiePowerSupply KiCad files?

From the CarlRaymond/NixiePowerSupply repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is NixiePowerSupply.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the NixiePowerSupply design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask CarlRaymond before reusing the design.
