Overview

Mdt chipdown is an open-source printed circuit board by andykarpov, from the andykarpov/mdt-chipdown repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 4-layer board of 94 × 79.6 mm with 141 parts on 154 nets, routed with 1,972 tracks and 485 vias.

It is built around the MIMXRT1062DVJ6B, MKL02Z32VFG4 and GD25Q64ESIGR, with the APS6404L-3SQR-SN, 74LVC2G06GW and AMS1117-3.3 among its other parts. Its parts include 53 capacitors, 24 resistors, 11 ICs, 7 diodes and 5 connectors. It belongs with the NXP (LPC, Kinetis, i.MX RT) boards of this library.

MicroDEXED Touch Chipdown custom edition

This is an attempt to create a custom PCB of the MicroDEXED Touch (MDT) project to satisfy my own requirements:

  • No modules, all chips should be soldered on PCB
  • Avoid THT components as much as possible

Warning! Work in progress. The revB is untested and unreleased yet.

  • Current tested revision: revA
  • Current dev revision: revB

PCB changelog & ERRATA:

  • revA - initial revision
    • Note: Jumpers to select MIDI IN/OUT standard should be removed, instead of them please use 0 Ohm resistors
    • Latest revA contains the following changes: jumpers replaced with solder jumpers
    • The overall display height is slightly higher than expected. Please use 8.5mm standoffs for it. Also the plastic housing from the display pin headers should be removed and the pin height should be reduced to fit the desired connection height of 8.5mm
  • revB:
    • 4-layers PCB
    • Replaced teensy module with a set of chips
    • Added additional SD card
    • Added additional LED from the supplementary MCU
    • Changed USB Host power path

Questions

How big is the Mdt chipdown PCB?

It measures 94 × 79.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mdt chipdown use?

141 parts, built around the MIMXRT1062DVJ6B, MKL02Z32VFG4, GD25Q64ESIGR and APS6404L-3SQR-SN. 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 Mdt chipdown KiCad files?

From the andykarpov/mdt-chipdown repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/revB1/mdt-chipdown.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/revA/mdt-chipdown.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mdt chipdown design in my own project?

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