Overview

ControlBreakout is an open-source printed circuit board by jdotw, from the jdotw/Breakout-LP5030 repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 20.6 × 54.8 mm with 45 parts on 65 nets, routed with 502 tracks and 226 vias.

It is built around the IS32FL3237-TQLA3-TR, MP2359DJ-LF-Z and TCA9544APW, with the FM-B2020RGBA-HG, AO3401A and B5819W among its other parts. Its parts include 12 diodes, 9 capacitors, 9 resistors, 7 connectors and 3 ICs. It belongs with the interfaces and adapters and microcontroller boards boards of this library.

MP2359, LP5030 and TCA9544A Breakout Board

This breakout board allows you to test an LP5030 LED driver, with a TCA9544A i2c mux/hub, being powered by a MP2359 buck power converter. The board was design to be powered by +12V, but should work with anything from +5 to +12. Place a jumper across the 3.3V 2-pin header to enable the use of the onboard power supply. Or, supply 3.3V directly to the pin marked 3.3V to bypass the onboard power supply.

I built this board because of a larger project where I wanted to use these three components. However, having not used them before in a design and without access to well priced evaluation board, I decided to make my own. TI sells an eval board for the LP5030 but it's $100+ which is ridiculous. There is a well priced board available to eval the MP2359 but it's rather huge. And so, I decided to build my own.

The gerber and assembly files included herein have been successfully used with JLCPCB and their SMT Assembly surface to order these boards with everything but the LP5030, TCA9544A and headers already assembled. Those, you'll need to take care of yourself.

If you have any questions you can find me on Twitter @scotchandcode, and streaming regularly at twitch.tv/jdotw.

Questions

How big is the ControlBreakout PCB?

It measures 20.6 × 54.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ControlBreakout use?

45 parts, built around the IS32FL3237-TQLA3-TR, MP2359DJ-LF-Z, TCA9544APW and FM-B2020RGBA-HG. 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 ControlBreakout KiCad files?

From the jdotw/Breakout-LP5030 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ControlBreakout.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ControlBreakout design in my own project?

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