RasPower

Powering Raspberry Pi (starting from Mode 3) in a device where DC power is already available. The circuit provides reverse polarity protection, overvoltage protection, and filtering of high-frequency interference into the power supply, and it prevents backfeeding from the powered device.

Questions

How big is the Netzteil PCB?

It measures 52.5 × 26 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Netzteil use?

19 parts, built around the LM2596S-ADJ, SS34 and SMAJ20A. 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 Netzteil KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Netzteil design in my own project?

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