Overview

Memories is an open-source printed circuit board by gipi, from the gipi/electronics-notes repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 59.9 × 64.3 mm with 39 parts on 74 nets, routed with 736 tracks and 72 vias.

Its parts include 22 resistors, 8 capacitors, 3 ICs, 2 connectors and 1 diode.

Memories

Here I'm trying to create a header for the Mojo development board that allows to have the basic minimal peripherals for a running system:

  • Flash
  • SDRAM
  • VGA
  • PS2

In this directory there are the KiCAD files and this is the hand soldered version 1.0

Flash

The flash memory under experimentation is the NAND512W3A2C, with 512 Mbit and x8 of bus width.

SRAM

The SDRAM used here is the MT48LC32M8A2.

VGA

It's a VGA with 3 bits for color channel using a resistor ladder.

Todo

  • UART
  • SPI
  • I2C
  • LCD controller
  • SDCard

probably are needed only as explicit routed pinout.

Design errors

  • The pad of the AMS1117 is the vout not ground (Fixed)
  • enlarge the pad so to make it more hand-solderable
  • add mask to the Open Hardware logo (fixed)
  • reverse voltage protection
  • overvoltage protection
  • enlarge holes for VGA and PS/2 (fixed)
  • fix R-2R ladder

Questions

How big is the Memories PCB?

It measures 59.9 × 64.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Memories use?

39 parts. 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 Memories KiCad files?

From the gipi/electronics-notes repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/memories/memories.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Memories design in my own project?

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