README
README.mdbitaxeProto 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.
- KiCAD design files.
- 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).
