Questions
How big is the LLCB PCB?
It measures 51 × 64 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the LLCB use?
18 parts, built around the SN74CBTD16211DL. 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 LLCB KiCad files?
From the jbilander/Logic-level-converter-board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/LLCB.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the LLCB 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).
