Questions

How big is the CurrentSink PCB?

It measures 34 × 28 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the CurrentSink use?

42 parts, built around the LMV358, MCP1640T-I/MC, MCP4802-E/SN and LM2931CD. 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 CurrentSink KiCad files?

From the plainsimpledot/currentSink repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is currentSink.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the CurrentSink design in my own project?

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