Questions

How big is the Nicadpwr PCB?

It measures 69.8 × 30.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Nicadpwr use?

31 parts, built around the MC34063A, OPA237NA/3K, RS1M and SI4562DY-VB. 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 Nicadpwr KiCad files?

From the kloper/nicadpwr repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is board/nicadpwr.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Nicadpwr design in my own project?

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