Clock Module

The idea behind this project is to have a standalone clock circuit to debug ICs at a very low clock speed.

It is mainly inspired by Ben Eater's version.

Features

  • Manual pulse Mode.
  • Variable frequency clock.
  • DC Input Jack 7v - 15v @ approx. 100mA.
  • Raw 5v power in for breadboard compatability.
  • Lots of LEDs :)

  • 2x 0.01uF - Ceramic Capacitor
  • 2x 4.7uF - Capacitor
  • 1x 470uF - Capacitor
  • 1x .33uF - Ceramic Capacitor
  • 4x .1uF - Ceramic Capacitor
  • 1x 1uF - Capacitor
  • 1x 1N4007 - Diode
  • 4x 5mm LED
  • 2x 01x02 Female Pin header
  • 1x DC Jack
  • 6x 1K - Resistor
  • 2x 51K - Resistor
  • 2x 10K - Resistor
  • 1x 100K - Potentiometer linear
  • 2x Button

Questions

What parts does the Clockmodule flipflop use?

45 parts, built around the NE555P and 74HC86D. 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 Clockmodule flipflop KiCad files?

From the JopjeKnopje/clockmodule repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is rev-0.1/clockmodule_flipflop.kicad_pcb and its schematic rev-0.1/clockmodule.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Clockmodule flipflop design in my own project?

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