High Current 5V DC Buck Converter Board

This board is a high current (8A) buck converter based around the TPS51386 for providing USB power to multiple devices from one board. Focused around working from a 4S Lithium Ion battery, it should work for any input voltage source from 10V-26V DC. The board also incorporates two INA219A PMICs for monitoring input & output power over I2C.

Questions

How big is the 5v regulator v1 PCB?

It measures 99.3 × 47.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 5v regulator v1 use?

59 parts, built around the TPS51386RJNR and USB-A1SSW6. 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 5v regulator v1 KiCad files?

From the bobby1321/High-Current-5V-Regulator repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/5v-regulator-v1/5v-regulator-v1.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/4S-Li-ion-battery-meter/4S-Li-ion-battery-meter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 5v regulator v1 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
