TM1640 Breakout Board

A breakout board made for the chinese Titan Micro Electronics TM1640 chip, commonly used in cheap 7-segment displays.

The board has been designed mostly with size in mind to be able to plug it into a breadboard. It is 14x8 breadboard pins long (1.4x0.8in, or around 35.56x20.32mm). It follows the datasheet design (Using both a 10k pullup resistor and 100p capacitor for both data lines, and a 100nF as well as a 100uF capacitor for the VCC pin).

Contributions as well as criticism and suggestions are more than welcome.

Questions

How big is the Tm1640 breakout PCB?

It measures 21.4 × 36.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tm1640 breakout use?

13 parts, built around the TM1640. 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 Tm1640 breakout KiCad files?

From the aleokdev/tm1640_breakout repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is TM1640_breakout.kicad_pcb and its schematic TM1640_breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tm1640 breakout design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
