Overview

This readme provides an overview of the design considerations and technical details for the STM32F103C8Tx-based PCB. The PCB includes a boot switch, exposed UART and I2C pins, utilizes SWD debugging for code uploading, and is powered via USB.

PCB Features

  • Microcontroller: STM32F103C8Tx
  • Boot Switch: Allows for boot mode selection
  • UART and I2C Pins: Exposed for external communication
  • Debugging: Utilizes SWD (Serial Wire Debug) for code uploading and debugging
  • Power: USB powered

Filter Capacitor Calculation

For maintaining oscillator stability, a filter capacitor (CL) is required. I've calculated the value using the formula:

CL = 2 * (CL0 - CS) = 2 * (10 - 5) pF = 10 pF

This capacitor value helps ensure reliable oscillator performance, contributing to the overall stability of your design.

Questions

How big is the Tutstm32 PCB?

It measures 39 × 31.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tutstm32 use?

32 parts, built around the AMS1117-3.3. 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 Tutstm32 KiCad files?

From the malto101/STM32_interface_PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is tutstm32.kicad_pcb and its schematic tutstm32.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tutstm32 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask malto101 before reusing the design.
