BreadBat

A 3.3v breadbaord power supply that's powered by a single cell Li-Ion battery and uses USB-C for charging. This design was made for prototyping portable devices on a breadboard.

I've had this designed manufactured and during testing I realised I forgot to consider the drop out voltage of the linear regulator. The battery charging and circuit protection seems to work fine, but the battery voltage isn't high enough for the LDO to reach a 3.3v output.

Questions

How big is the BreadBat PCB?

It measures 51.2 × 19.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.69 mm thick.

What parts does the BreadBat use?

31 parts, built around the AMS1117-3.3, TP4056-42-ESOP8 and TPS259621DDA. 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 BreadBat KiCad files?

From the Hardware7253/BreadBat repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is breadbat.kicad_pcb and its schematic breadbat.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the BreadBat design in my own project?

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