Overview

Usb is an open-source printed circuit board by efogdev, from the efogdev/nrf54l15-module repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 46 × 21 mm with 28 parts on 47 nets, routed with 208 tracks and 20 vias.

It is built around the HDC2010YPAR, HT42B534-2 and AXP2585, with the CL03A105MQ3CSNH, BM28B0.6-10DP/2-0.35V(51) and FRM121WFR100TM among its other parts. Its parts include 12 capacitors, 8 resistors, 3 ICs, 2 connectors and 1 diode. It belongs with the power boards of this library.

Features

  1. Full IO set: all the GPIO and programming pins are present
  2. Compact design: the board is 16.4x25.3 mm with ≈4.8 mm of total height
  3. Ultra efficient: featuring TLV62569 with ≥92% efficiency at (almost) any load
  4. 1V8 pin can be used as both input (if VIN not connected) and output (up to 1.5A)
  5. 4 programmable LEDs (200 µA) that can be isolated to free the pins
  6. On-board "reset" switch and an additional general purpose button (High/High-Z)
  7. Impedance of (almost) all traces is close to 50Ω
  8. Board-to-board connector with programming, power and GPIO pins

Questions

How big is the Usb PCB?

It measures 46 × 21 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.65 mm thick.

What parts does the Usb use?

28 parts, built around the HDC2010YPAR, HT42B534-2, AXP2585 and CL03A105MQ3CSNH. 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 Usb KiCad files?

From the efogdev/nrf54l15-module repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is companions/usb/usb.kicad_pcb and its schematic companions/flex/usb-and-battery/usb-and-battery-companion/usb-and-battery-companion.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Usb design in my own project?

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