Questions

How big is the USTSIPIN03 PCB?

It measures 70.6 × 50.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the USTSIPIN03 use?

100 parts, built around the SN74LVC2T45DCU, OPA314M/TR, AT24CS64-SSHM-B and ISL21080CIH341Z-TK. 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 USTSIPIN03 KiCad files?

From the ust-modules/USTSIPIN03 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/sch_pcb/USTSIPIN03.kicad_pcb and its schematic hw/sch_pcb/PIN_detector.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the USTSIPIN03 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
