Overview

Bitaxeproto is an open-source printed circuit board by bitaxeorg, from the bitaxeorg/bitaxeproto repository on GitHub, published under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence. It is a 6-layer board of 76 × 101 mm with 229 parts on 169 nets, routed with 891 tracks and 1,191 vias.

It is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, TLV3542ID and TPS546D24SRVFR, with the STHW4-DU-HN050206, TS3011ILT and BSS138 among its other parts. Its parts include 114 capacitors, 35 resistors, 15 ICs, 5 connectors and 3 inductors. It belongs with the ESP32 boards of this library.

bitaxeProto miner with quad Block Proto MC3 ASICs

It is still an untested prototype! Don't build this expecting it to work yet.

  • Open Hardware License; Real Open Source.
  • Four Proto MC3 ASICs, two stacks of two ASICs
    • Each MC3 is nominally 1.12V with approx 675 GH/s.
  • 11-13V XT30 input voltage
  • TPS546D24S single-phase voltage regulator tuned for 2.4V output @ 30A
    • The voltage regulator backside power plane is exposed to hopefully thermally bond it with the main heatsink.
  • TPS546D24 backside busbar to cool the voltage regulator from the main heatsink.
  • Fan controlled from the ESP32
  • ESP32S3 for esp-miner support.
  • Display moved off the main board. Should support the bonanzaDisplay
  • Gerbers not provided to discourage side hacks and AliEx slop. HMU if you need help generating gerbers with KiCad.

Questions

How big is the Bitaxeproto PCB?

It measures 76 × 101 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Bitaxeproto use?

229 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, TLV3542ID, TPS546D24SRVFR and STHW4-DU-HN050206. 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 Bitaxeproto KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Bitaxeproto design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-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).
