Overview

GPIB Serial Adapter is an open-source printed circuit board by essele, from the essele/yaugi repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 54.5 × 37 mm with 20 parts on 51 nets, routed with 284 tracks and 19 vias.

It is built around the CY8C4246AZI-L433, 112-024-113R001 and MBR0520L-TP. Its parts include 8 capacitors, 3 resistors, 3 diodes, 3 connectors and 1 IC. It belongs with the interfaces and adapters boards of this library.

Disclaimer

This is an experimental device and experimental code, it has not been fully tested and may damage your equipment. Please do not attempt to use this device and code unless you know what you are doing.

I can accept no liability whatsoever for any damage caused.

Introduction

Details to follow ... however:

The PCB KiCAD files are in the KiCAD directory

The code, which is a PSoC Creator project is in the "GPIB USB Adapter" directory.

This is work in progress and will be documented over time.

Errata

The PCB is a test board and as such has a number of issues, most notibly:

  • the shield of the IEE488 connector is not connected to the USB shield
  • the IEE488 connector needs to be populated on the back of the board

The code is absoultely work-in-progress so lots of things won't work and this will change over time.

Questions

How big is the GPIB Serial Adapter PCB?

It measures 54.5 × 37 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the GPIB Serial Adapter use?

20 parts, built around the CY8C4246AZI-L433, 112-024-113R001 and MBR0520L-TP. 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 GPIB Serial Adapter KiCad files?

From the essele/yaugi repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/GPIB Serial Adapter.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the GPIB Serial Adapter design in my own project?

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