Variable Buck Converter(WIP)

This project involved creating a buck converter which could regulate a 10V power supply to voltage suitable for a breadboard. simulations were done in LTspice and KiCad was used for creating schematics and PCB Layout.

PCB Revision #1

LED Matrix

This project involved the creation of a LED matrix to be used in conjunction with audio visualizer software, LED's are charlieplexed, STM32C071RBT6 was selected due to relatively low cost.

Questions

How big is the Buck PCB?

It measures 55.2 × 39.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Buck use?

37 parts, built around the LM5109BMA, LM393DR2GH, IRLZ44N and M20-9990246. 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 Buck KiCad files?

From the WidRojas/PCB-Hardware-Projects repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Buck/Buck.kicad_pcb and its schematic Audio_Matrix/Audio_Matrix.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Buck design in my own project?

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