Questions

How big is the Gpio expander PCB?

It measures 64 × 55 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Gpio expander use?

39 parts, built around the TPS4H160AQPWPRQ1. 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 Gpio expander KiCad files?

From the steinkohl/gpio-expander-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is gpio-expander.kicad_pcb and its schematic gpio-expander.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Gpio expander design in my own project?

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