Max17841UartPCB

This is a small printed circuit assembly (PCA) based on the Maxim MAX17841B chip, designed for talking to MAX17843 chip based Battery Management System (BMS) designs.

It provides an SPI interface, operates at +5VDC, and was intended for connection to an Arduino.

See the "datasheets" directory for information about the MAX17841B chip.

Questions

How big is the WgcMax17Uart0805 PCB?

It measures 76.2 × 38.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the WgcMax17Uart0805 use?

128 parts, built around the PESD5V0L, CEP99-102 and SZNUP2105L. 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 WgcMax17Uart0805 KiCad files?

From the RetiredBill/Max17841UartPCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad_wgcMax17Uart0805/wgcMax17Uart0805.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the WgcMax17Uart0805 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
