FreqSynthPCB

A PCB Design for an Si5351A Frequency Synthesiser with Manual Control

This is a PCB I designed for a Si5351a Frequency Synthesiser. It can generate a clock at any arbitrary frequency with 1KHz resolution up to 125MHz. Control is done using a ATMEGA328-PB. There is a rotary encoder to control the frequency at the output, along with an OLED for displaying the selected frequency

Questions

How big is the 0-125MHz Synthesiser Reduced BoM Nicer Layout PCB?

It measures 85 × 70 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.89 mm thick.

What parts does the 0-125MHz Synthesiser Reduced BoM Nicer Layout use?

44 parts, built around the AP7381-50V-A, SI5351A-B-GT, BSS138 and ESD5Z6.0T1G. 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 0-125MHz Synthesiser Reduced BoM Nicer Layout KiCad files?

From the jamesfletcher22/FreqSynthPCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad Files/0-125MHz Synthesiser Reduced BoM Nicer Layout.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad Files/0-125MHz Synthesiser Reduced BoM Nicer Layout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 0-125MHz Synthesiser Reduced BoM Nicer Layout design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jamesfletcher22 before reusing the design.
