Questions

How big is the Numitron driver PCB?

It measures 19.1 × 19.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Numitron driver use?

5 parts, built around the TPIC6595N. 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 Numitron driver KiCad files?

From the pierreca/numitron-clock repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/numitron_driver/numitron_driver.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Numitron driver design in my own project?

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