README
README.mdPower Glitcher
Power glitcher circuit for voltage fault injection. Similar to [1], it includes a DAC, a non-inverting amplification stage, and a push-pull follower output circuit.
The board can function as ON/OFF switch, bypassing the DAC, by connecting a GPIO output to the J5 connector and short-circuiting JP1. Refer to the schematic for more details.

Questions
How big is the Power glitcher PCB?
It measures 46.3 × 40.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Power glitcher use?
69 parts, built around the TL081HID, AD9708AR, ICL7660N and LM2735XMF. 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 Power glitcher KiCad files?
From the cpey/power-glitcher repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is power_glitcher/power_glitcher.kicad_pcb and its schematic power_glitcher/power_glitcher.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Power glitcher design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
