Questions

How big is the Ft4232h mini module PCB?

It measures 94.6 × 29.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Ft4232h mini module use?

22 parts, built around the FT4232H-56Q MINI MDL and 74HC595. 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 Ft4232h mini module KiCad files?

From the adrienkohlbecker/ft4232h_mini_module repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ft4232h_mini_module.kicad_pcb and its schematic ft4232h_mini_module.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ft4232h mini module design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-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).
