README.mdNPM1300-module (General Doc)
The nPM1300 is a power management IC created and sold by Nordic Semi, intended to be paired with their nRF lineup but can be used by any microcontroller. The nPM1300-module is a 3rd party module that is similar to and based on a reference PCB provided by Nordic Semi. This module allows for simplified testing and cost effective prototyping of a power management IC into a project.

Updates
Older revisions can be found in "archive" branch:
- Reduced footprint size from 26.5mm x 29.5mm to 25.8mm x 25.8mm
- Added onboard led, and bypass for external led
- Simplified layout, reducing number of total pins
- Added footprints for I2C pullup resistors (short pins for external pullup resistors)
- Flipped board layout
- Reduced GND pin count from 9 to 3

Questions
How big is the Power management breakout PCB?
It measures 25.8 × 25.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Power management breakout use?
25 parts, built around the NPM1300-QEAA-R7. 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 Power management breakout KiCad files?
From the AryA-65/NPM1300-module repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Project Files/power_management_breakout.kicad_pcb and its schematic Project Files/power_management_breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Power management breakout 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).
