Serial Bread

This is part of the "Modular Breadboard" parent project.

It's a basic USB-to-UART adapter with a robust USB-C connector and switchable logic levels. It can also provide up to 3A@5v and 600mA@3.3V for your project.

Questions

How big is the Serial bread PCB?

It measures 26 × 32 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.67 mm thick.

What parts does the Serial bread use?

24 parts, built around the CH340C, AP2112K-3.3TRG1, 0402WGF1001 and CL05B104KO5NNN. 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 Serial bread KiCad files?

From the testudor/serial-bread repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Serial Bread.kicad_pcb and its schematic Serial Bread.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Serial bread 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).
