Questions

How big is the TC SS PCB?

It measures 113.8 × 64.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the TC SS use?

81 parts, built around the ADUM4221-1ARIZ, 74HC14, IPW60R099P6XKSA1 and 1N4148WT. 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 TC SS KiCad files?

From the kentrane/Solid-State-Tesla-Coil repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is TC_SS.kicad_pcb and its schematic DriverBoard/DriverBoard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the TC SS design in my own project?

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