Overview

UCB board is an open-source printed circuit board by bartkepl, from the bartkepl/UCB_board repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 4-layer board of 56.8 × 100 mm with 202 parts on 211 nets, routed with 2,134 tracks and 863 vias.

It is built around the USBLC6-2SC6, FM24C64B-G and SN65HVD75DR, with the W5500, FYLS-1206PGC and ESD5Z3.3T1G among its other parts. Its parts include 74 capacitors, 35 resistors, 35 diodes, 8 ICs and 5 crystals. It belongs with the interfaces and adapters boards and the STM32 boards of this library.

Status: ready for prototype order

  • Schematic and PCB layout done (4-layer, 56.8 × 100 mm), production files generated.
  • Design review completed; DRC/ERC clean (remaining items reviewed and excluded as by-design).
  • W5500 clock is sourced from the MCU (MCO1) by default — R80 fitted, R23 (Si5351C CLK0) DNP.
  • Firmware: STM32CubeMX skeleton only.

Production outputs: schematic PDF · PCB PDF · interactive BOM · gerbers


Features:

  • ARM Cortex-M33 Processor in LQFP100 (STM32H563VIT6)
  • USB 2.0
  • 10/100 Ethernet (based on WIZnet W5500)
  • UART
  • Half-duplex RS485
  • 3U eurocard IEEE 1101.1-1998 format (160x100 mm) — this 56.8 × 100 mm backend board is combined with a 100 × 100 mm front module (e.g. SSM_board)

Questions

How big is the UCB board PCB?

It measures 56.8 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.59 mm thick.

What parts does the UCB board use?

202 parts, built around the USBLC6-2SC6, FM24C64B-G, SN65HVD75DR and W5500. 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 UCB board KiCad files?

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

Can I use the UCB board 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).
