Storage & Ethernet System

A compact PCB designed to provide redundant onboard storage and wired Ethernet connectivity for embedded systems where robustness, data integrity and easy integration are key.

Status KiCad
REXUS/BEXUS Program


Overview

The main goal of this PCB is to improve the reliability of embedded data logging and communication systems.

It is especially useful in applications where removable media such as microSD cards may be affected by vibration, mechanical stress, poor contact or harsh environmental conditions.

The board is designed to support:

  • Reliable onboard data storage.
  • Redundant logging.
  • Wired Ethernet communication.
  • Compact integration.
  • Post-operation data recovery.

Main Features

  • Dual SPI NOR Flash memories.
  • Independent chip-select lines for each memory.
  • WIZnet W5500 hardware TCP/IP Ethernet controller.
  • SiTime SiT5000 25 MHz TCXO clock source.
  • SPI interface with the main controller.
  • ESD-aware external interface design.
  • Ethernet analog supply isolation.
  • Custom KiCad symbols, footprints and 3D models.

Questions

How big is the Memory Ethernet PCB PCB?

It measures 96.3 × 49.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Memory Ethernet PCB use?

55 parts, built around the USBLC6-2SC6, W5500, KGM21AR71C105JU and AC0805FR-7W2K2L. 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 Memory Ethernet PCB KiCad files?

From the BLESS-BEXUS/Storage-Ethernet-System-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Memory_Ethernet_PCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic Memory_Ethernet_PCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Memory Ethernet PCB design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask BLESS-BEXUS before reusing the design.
