Questions
How big is the E throttle PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the E throttle use?
68 parts, built around the R-78E5.0-1.0, SN65HVD230D, 74HC123D and BTS441TG. 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 E throttle KiCad files?
From the tongclement/FBR-E-Throttle repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is E-throttle/E-throttle.kicad_pcb and its schematic E-throttle/E-throttle.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the E throttle design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask tongclement before reusing the design.
