Questions
How big is the PSU PCB?
It measures 45.3 × 28.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PSU use?
21 parts, built around the CJ2301 and PMBT2222A. 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 PSU KiCad files?
From the ray33ee/DCT repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematics/PSU/PSU.kicad_pcb and its schematic schematics/PSU/PSU.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PSU design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ray33ee before reusing the design.
