Overview

Pi20 is an open-source printed circuit board by jaycedowell, from the jaycedowell/Pi2O repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 102 × 56.1 mm with 45 parts on 76 nets, routed with 342 tracks and 3 vias.

It is built around the MAC97A6, LM2596T-5.0 and MOC3020M, with the 60R030XPR among its other parts. Its parts include 16 resistors, 10 diodes, 7 ICs, 3 connectors and 2 capacitors.

Notes

  • Mounting holes are M2.5
  • Silkscreens for D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, and D10 are flipped
  • Current power switch idea (regulator shutdown) leads to a fast on/off of the Raspberry Pi
    • Better to have it interrupt the +5V of the regulator?
  • Label the test points

Questions

How big is the Pi20 PCB?

It measures 102 × 56.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pi20 use?

45 parts, built around the MAC97A6, LM2596T-5.0, MOC3020M and 60R030XPR. 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 Pi20 KiCad files?

From the jaycedowell/Pi2O repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematics/Pi20.kicad_pcb and its schematic schematics/Pi20.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pi20 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-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).
