Overview

Usb uart is an open-source printed circuit board by absmach, from the absmach/synth repository on GitHub, published under the Apache-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 41 × 32.2 mm with 36 parts on 26 nets, routed with 273 tracks and 43 vias.

It is built around the THVD1450D, RS485 and CH342F, with the LP5907MFX-3.3, PTVS6V0S1UR and PRTR5V0U2X among its other parts. Its parts include 9 resistors, 7 diodes, 6 capacitors, 4 connectors and 3 ICs. It belongs with the interfaces and adapters boards of this library.

RP2350 routed example

Latest regenerated run

The full-board reconstruction routes with the installed FreeRouting pipeline on six layers. Local generated artifacts are under reproductions/rp2350-reconstructed/generated/:

  • rp2350_devboard_reconstructed.synth — reconstructed Synth source
  • rp2350_devboard_reconstructed.layout.toml — recovered placement sidecar
  • rp2350_devboard_freerouted_6layer.kicad_pcb — routed KiCad board
  • rp2350_devboard_freerouted_6layer.png — rendered review image
  • freerouted-6layer-drc.rpt — native KiCad DRC report

FreeRouting completed with 0 unrouted signal nets. The DRC report still contains 14 ground-zone island items and two footprint-library warnings; this is not production sign-off until those items are reviewed.

rp2350_devboard_freerouting_clean.kicad_pcb is a pre-generated compact KiCad review artifact.

Reference dimensions: approximately 84.5 × 73.1 mm.

The companion DRC report records the current review state. The authoritative KiCad check currently reports 80 DRC violations and 18 unconnected items. The 18 unconnected entries are zone-to-zone ground-island reports, not ordinary signal-pad pairs, but they are still violations. This is an example and review fixture, not production sign-off; silkscreen and footprint library warnings also require engineering review.

Questions

How big is the Usb uart PCB?

It measures 41 × 32.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Usb uart use?

36 parts, built around the THVD1450D, RS485, CH342F and LP5907MFX-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 Usb uart KiCad files?

From the absmach/synth repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is qualification/class-b/usb-uart/kicad/usb_uart.kicad_pcb and its schematic qualification/class-a/i2c-sensor-node/export/i2c_sensor_node.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Usb uart design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
