Questions
How big is the 2023IdealDiode PCB?
It measures 80.6 × 61 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the 2023IdealDiode use?
12 parts, built around the BAT41. 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 2023IdealDiode KiCad files?
From the MSURoboCats/ElectricalDesign repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 2023/2023IdealDiode/2023IdealDiode/2023IdealDiode.kicad_pcb and its schematic 2022/OldSub2022/OldSub2022.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the 2023IdealDiode design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MSURoboCats before reusing the design.
