Voltage and Amperage Control Unit
VaACU is an open-source power management and battery charging platform designed to integrate multiple power sources into a single, organized system.
It supports 9–36 V DC input and 220 V AC mains input, converting incoming power into regulated 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V DC rails while supporting battery charging, power-path management, current monitoring, and protection circuitry.
Key Features
- Multiple power input options
- Regulated 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V power rails
- Integrated battery charging and backup power management
- Diode OR-ing for power-source isolation
- Current sensing using the INA293B2
- Fuse-based overcurrent protection
- Battery undervoltage protection
- ESP32-S3-based monitoring and control
- Open-source hardware design developed with KiCad
VaACU aims to provide a modular foundation for embedded systems that need flexible power input, battery backup, and centralized power management.
Status: Hardware design and validation hasnt been done, you the user might have to verify before usage.

Questions
How big is the VaACU PCB?
It measures 126.1 × 123.7 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.62 mm thick.
What parts does the VaACU use?
67 parts, built around the TSR 3-2433N, ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, ISU0224S24-TR and TSR 3-2450N. 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 VaACU KiCad files?
From the Melih2123/VaACU repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/VaACU.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/VaACU.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the VaACU 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).
