Questions

How big is the Tycho PCB?

It measures 90.9 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.64 mm thick.

What parts does the Tycho use?

168 parts, built around the CY7C68013A-56LTXC, PI3B3257LE, 24LC128-I/P and MIC5504-3.3YM5. 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 Tycho KiCad files?

From the greatscottgadgets/tycho repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is tycho/tycho.kicad_pcb and its schematic sasserides/sasserides.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tycho design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
