Questions

How big is the SCART switcher PCB?

It measures 255 × 127 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.

What parts does the SCART switcher use?

613 parts, built around the OPA1656ID, OPA4354AID, SN74LVC1G3157DCKR and SN74LVC1G08DCKR. 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 SCART switcher KiCad files?

From the nunosousa/SCART-switcher repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ECAD/SCART_switcher/SCART_switcher.kicad_pcb and its schematic ECAD/Power_supply/Power_supply.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SCART switcher design in my own project?

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