Overview

BlockBuilder is an open-source printed circuit board by AnotherMike-exe, from the AnotherMike-exe/KiCadBlocks repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 4-layer board of 1 × 55.8 mm with 82 parts on 81 nets, routed with 415 tracks and 147 vias.

It is built around the SI3402-B-GMR, ARJM11C7-114-BA-EW2 and TLV431BCDBZR, with the VO618A-3X017T, W5500 and RC0603JR-070RL among its other parts. Its parts include 39 capacitors, 24 resistors, 4 ICs, 3 diodes and 1 connector.

Plum KiCAD Blocks

Reusable PCB layout blocks for Plum Solutions boards. Nine schematic design blocks exist. Each one gets a matching layout so a host project can drop in the parts, the routing and the copper pours already proven on a reference board.

What a block ships as

ArtefactWhereRole
Reference boardModules/<Block>/the worked example, and the test bed
Design block fragmentPlumBlocks.kicad_blocks/<Block>.kicad_block/the droppable asset
Host setup documentModules/<Block>/docs/Host-Setup.mdthe stackup, net classes and rules a fragment cannot carry

The fragment lives outside this repository, in the shared library on the Plum volume. See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.

PoE-PD-Si3402-Class1 is retired. PoE always arrives on an Ethernet cable, so a PoE block with no jack was never a drop-in part.

  1. docs/ARCHITECTURE.md — how the repository fits together
  2. docs/CONTEXT.md — the domain words this project uses
  3. docs/Design-Blocks-Runbook.md — how a block is built and what breaks
  4. Modules/PoE-Ethernet-Si3402-W5500/docs/Layout-Spec.md — the worked example

Requirements

KiCad 10.0.6 or later. The Plum volume must be mounted, because the design block library and the shared footprints live on it.

Questions

How big is the BlockBuilder PCB?

It measures 1 × 55.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BlockBuilder use?

82 parts, built around the SI3402-B-GMR, ARJM11C7-114-BA-EW2, TLV431BCDBZR and VO618A-3X017T. 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 BlockBuilder KiCad files?

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

Can I use the BlockBuilder 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).
