Overview

Nixie 2025 v3 is an open-source printed circuit board by moro696, from the moro696/nixie-clock repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 4-layer board of 203.1 × 155.8 mm with 147 parts on 154 nets, routed with 1,835 tracks and 409 vias.

It is built around the FUSB302B11MPX, LMR16010PDDA and ADUM151N1BRZ, with the HV57908PG-G, ASMT-YTD9-0AA02 and 2N7002 K72 among its other parts. Its parts include 69 resistors, 25 capacitors, 15 diodes, 8 ICs and 6 transistors. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards and the STM32 boards of this library.

This is the first version for the hardware schematic of the nixie clock project. There are 3 sheets:

  • microcontroler & drivers
  • power supply
  • tube & led side

Here i have posted a seeries of videos where i describe how the circuit works and various stages of the design:

Questions

How big is the Nixie 2025 v3 PCB?

It measures 203.1 × 155.8 mm and has 4 copper layers, 0.62 mm thick.

What parts does the Nixie 2025 v3 use?

147 parts, built around the FUSB302B11MPX, LMR16010PDDA, ADUM151N1BRZ and HV57908PG-G. 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 Nixie 2025 v3 KiCad files?

From the moro696/nixie-clock repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Nixie Clock - PCB&SCH/nixie_2025_v3.kicad_pcb and its schematic Nixie Clock - PCB&SCH/mcu_ctrl_v3.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Nixie 2025 v3 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
