Overview

YamhillFrontPanel is an open-source printed circuit board by NT7S, from the NT7S/Yamhill repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 170 × 100 mm with 211 parts on 159 nets, routed with 1,751 tracks and 183 vias.

It is built around the TLV9362ID, ADS1115IDGS and LM4875M, with the ATX-H11-F-25.000MHZ-F25-T, SI5351C-B-GM and UA78M05IKVURG3 among its other parts. Its parts include 66 capacitors, 66 resistors, 38 connectors, 15 ICs and 9 diodes. It belongs with the radio and wireless boards and the RP2040 boards of this library.

Project Yamhill is the successor to the Willamette Transceiver, also known as the qrp-l Group Project. The purpose of this endeavor is to provide a platform to learn about radio electronics at a system level. Modules that correspond to the blocks of a block diagram will be the basis upon which different types of radio designs will be created. A modular 3D printed backplane will be the chassis, user interface, and power supply for the radio experiments. The desired goal is to have a high-performance CW QRP transceiver at the end of the main project run, however there would be the capacity to build many other types of radios from the blocks as desired, such as a SSB transceiver, run more transmit power with a linear amplifier that can provide 20 watts or more, data radio, simple receiver, different architectures such as a phasing receiver, etc.

All designs and code will be permissively open sourced so that an end user is able to build one by himself if desired. All radio design specifications will be published, along with detailed information about how the user can make his own measurements with affordable test equipment to ensure that his radio is performing as expected. Basic build information will be freely available, however for detailed instructions, please subscribe to my Substack, details below.

Substack Community

Detailed build, test, and alignment instructions will be posted on my Substack, Applied Etherics. You'll also find support and the build community there.

Questions

How big is the YamhillFrontPanel PCB?

It measures 170 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the YamhillFrontPanel use?

211 parts, built around the TLV9362ID, ADS1115IDGS, LM4875M and ATX-H11-F-25.000MHZ-F25-T. 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 YamhillFrontPanel KiCad files?

From the NT7S/Yamhill repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/YamhillFrontPanel/YamhillFrontPanel.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/YamhillAFFeedbackAmp/YamhillAFFeedbackAmp.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the YamhillFrontPanel design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask NT7S before reusing the design.
