thing to confirm:

  • if i need a different CC/PD controller for active negatiotion of DP alt mode.
  • how HPD signals go back to host.
  • caps, esd etc

Questions

How big is the Bifrost PCB?

It measures 30.2 × 49.4 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Bifrost use?

68 parts, built around the 74LVC1G125, HD3SS215IRTQR, TPD4E05U06DQAR and AP2112K-3.3. 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 Bifrost KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Bifrost design in my own project?

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