USB3 direct-sampling HF SDR: AD9649 ADC -> ECP5 FPGA DDC -> FT601 USB 3. KiCad 9 + Verilog, co-designed by Claude and Gemini (AGY).
Work after r3 is an open-source printed circuit board by cfbird, from the cfbird/usb3-sdr repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 100 × 60 mm with 231 parts on 316 nets, routed with 1,936 tracks and 415 vias.
It is built around the LFE5U-25F-6BG256C, 74LVC1G17Z and PHA-13LN+, with the AD9649BCPZ-80, FT601Q-B-T and TPS7A2018PDBVR-TP among its other parts. Its parts include 110 capacitors, 65 resistors, 13 ICs, 13 inductors and 6 diodes. It belongs with the fPGA and programmable logic boards and the FPGA and CPLD boards of this library.

The 230 most common of 231 parts.
It measures 100 × 60 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
231 parts, built around the LFE5U-25F-6BG256C, 74LVC1G17Z, PHA-13LN+ and AD9649BCPZ-80. 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.
From the cfbird/usb3-sdr repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/deeppcb/work_after_r3.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/adc_clk.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask cfbird before reusing the design.
