Questions
How big is the ZVS PCB?
It measures 87 × 63 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the ZVS use?
30 parts, built around the IRLZ44N. 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 ZVS KiCad files?
From the aydin-ege/High-Voltage-Generator repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ZVS.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the ZVS 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).
