Overview

Nrf card is an open-source printed circuit board by dossalab, from the dossalab/random-pcbs repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 85.6 × 54 mm with 64 parts on 78 nets, routed with 738 tracks and 173 vias.

It is built around the NPM1100-EK, MPU-9250 and PCF85263ATT/AJ, with the BAT54C among its other parts. Its parts include 19 capacitors, 18 resistors, 6 connectors, 4 ICs and 4 diodes. It belongs with the nRF52 and nRF5x boards of this library.

Questions

How big is the Nrf card PCB?

It measures 85.6 × 54 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Nrf card use?

64 parts, built around the NPM1100-EK, MPU-9250, PCF85263ATT/AJ and BAT54C. 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 Nrf card KiCad files?

From the dossalab/random-pcbs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is nrf-card/nrf-card.kicad_pcb and its schematic ips-display-breakout/display-breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Nrf card design in my own project?

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