Questions

How big is the BuckBoost PCB?

It measures 26.2 × 18.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BuckBoost use?

16 parts, built around the TPS63060DSC. 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 BuckBoost KiCad files?

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

Can I use the BuckBoost design in my own project?

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