Questions
How big is the PA EVAL PCB?
It measures 40.2 × 30 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.57 mm thick.
What parts does the PA EVAL use?
25 parts, built around the BP2G+ and GRF4002. 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 PA EVAL KiCad files?
From the ear0/ECE445_Team18 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/pcb/PA_EVAL/PA_EVAL.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/pcb/IFBoard/IFBoard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PA EVAL design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ear0 before reusing the design.
