Arty A7 Expansion Board

Overview

This project contains open hardware design files for expansion board compatible with Digilent Arty A7 development platform. The expansion board utilizes a set of PMOD connectors on Arty board to provide additional IO interfaces.

Project structure

The main directory contains the KiCAD design files, LICENSE and README. The remaining files are stored in the following directories:

  • 3d-model - contains mechanical model of the board
  • lib - contains the component libraries
  • doc - contains selected files for device fabrication (schematic in PDF, BoM)
  • img - contains graphics for this README

Key features

  • HDMI connector
  • microSD card connector
  • USB 2.0 host controller implemented with Maxim MAX3421EEHJ
  • Analog audio output implemented with Cirrus Logic CS4344 D/A converter
  • Analog (line) audio input implemented with Cirrus Logic CS5343 A/D converter

Questions

How big is the Arty a7-expansion PCB?

It measures 109.2 × 47 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Arty a7-expansion use?

125 parts, built around the NC7SZ126P5X, CS5343-CZZ, MAX3421EEHJ+T and DM3AT-SF-PEJM5. 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 Arty a7-expansion KiCad files?

From the antmicro/arty-expansion-board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is arty-a7-expansion.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Arty a7-expansion design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-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).
