uLEAF Development Board

uLEAF is a minimalistic STM32 platform for developing audio synthesis applications. It was primarily designed for use with LEAF (Lightweight Embedded Audio Framework), but is not limited to it.

Hardware Features

  • Powerful MCU: Cortex-M33 (STM32H533) with memory-mapped 8 MB PSRAM
  • Storage: 8 MB additional external Flash memory
  • Audio: Audio DAC PCM5102A

Design Philosophy

This development board tries to be as cheap and simple as possible. It is designed to be highly versatile, allowing you to easily embed it directly into your own projects or use it as a starting point to develop your own custom PCB based on this design.

Questions

How big is the Uleaf PCB?

It measures 25.7 × 26.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Uleaf use?

26 parts, built around the W25Q128JVSIQ, PCM5102PW and ABM8-25.000MHZ-B2-T. 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 Uleaf KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Uleaf design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
