Epd_Project: 3.3V to 15V Boost Converter

Overview

This repository contains the KiCad design files for a custom DC-to-DC power converter. The circuit is designed to take a 3.3V input and provide a regulated 15V output at 1A, using the MP3429 IC.

Key Specifications

  • Input Voltage: 3.3V
  • Output Voltage: 15V
  • Output Current: 1A
  • Core IC: MPS MP3429

Tools Used

  • EDA Software: KiCad
  • Custom Footprints/Symbols: Designed specifically for the MP3429 and associated components.

Repository Structure

  • /Custom_libraries - Contains project-specific library files.
  • /models - 3D models for PCB visualization.
  • /MP3429_Custom.pretty - Custom footprint library for the MP3429 IC.
  • /symbols - Custom schematic symbols.
  • Bom.csv - Bill of Materials containing component selection and costs.
  • Epd_Project.kicad_sch - The main KiCad schematic file.
  • Epd_Project.kicad_pcb - The main KiCad PCB layout file.

Design Details

Detailed design equations, component selection justifications, and technical specifications derived from the MP3429 datasheet are maintained in the project report documents.

Questions

How big is the Epd Project PCB?

It measures 38.3 × 28.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Epd Project use?

20 parts. 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 Epd Project KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Epd Project design in my own project?

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