Repository architecture

The repository has the following organization

• Datasheet Contains all the datasheet of main components and integrated circuits used in the design
• Images Contains the images of the Readme
• KiCAD_files Contains the KiCad project, for this converter two separated .pro files contain the two different PCB that compose the power converter.
• libs
  • footprints.pretty Contains the project-specific footprints
    • footprints.3Dshapes contains the step files for project-specific 3D footprints.
• License Contains the pdf file of the CERN-OHL-S open hardware license
• Logo Contains the .png images of the logo used for the title block
• Manufacturing_files
  • Definition_Package_MCUSPIN Contains the definition package for manufacturing

Documentation

All files are available in this centralized repository. Manufacturing files, including gerbers and BOM are placed in the Manufacturing files folder. Editable design files are placed in KiCad Files folder.
