Logikz

I designed a simple circuit board that can function as three different logic gates:- AND, OR, and NOR

Making of Logikz

This is my third PCB and this time around I wanted to know how transistors work, and also wanted to know how logic gates work. I myself implemented the AND and OR gates but had to look up how to do a NOR gate. Later I also changed how my OR gate works looking at the implementation of NOR gate.

The first iteration would've never worked, because of absolutely no current calculations done. Used circuit.js to fix my implementation. Earlier it had like 5 buttons, two for A and B inputs and the rset for choosing between the gates. But had to ditch that idea because current it didn't work in the simulation. Now I have 9 buttons, A and B for each gates, so total 3 A and 3 B input buttons.

Reason why the first iteration didn't work: It had something to do with "current takes the least resistive path", it is hard to explain in text.

The simulation file is present in ~/logikz_circuitjs.txt, you can click this link to see my project in action.

Questions

How big is the Logikz PCB?

It measures 93.2 × 85 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Logikz use?

24 parts. 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 Logikz KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Logikz design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask aroyx before reusing the design.
