Overview
Ic gate delay is an open-source printed circuit board by xdylanm, from the xdylanm/gate-delay repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 4-layer board of 35 × 100 mm with 50 parts on 38 nets, routed with 229 tracks and 28 vias.
It is built around the ATTINY13A-SU, AMS1117-5.0 and B140Q-13-F-HXY, with the BC847 among its other parts. Its parts include 21 resistors, 8 capacitors, 7 diodes, 6 connectors and 3 ICs. It belongs with the audio and music boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

README
README.mdGate Delay
A gate delay module in the Eurorack format. The module is implemented with an ATTiny13a microcontroller, with features including
- delays ranging from about 8ms to 2s
- gate pulse length is maintined
- sequences of up to 4 pulses can be delayed
A second, fully analog design is also described. This design is based on a current mirror and integration capacitor, and also maintains the gate pulse length. I have not implemented and tested this one.

Questions
How big is the Ic gate delay PCB?
It measures 35 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Ic gate delay use?
50 parts, built around the ATTINY13A-SU, AMS1117-5.0, B140Q-13-F-HXY and BC847. 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 Ic gate delay KiCad files?
From the xdylanm/gate-delay repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/ic-gate-delay/ic-gate-delay.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/dual-gate-delay-faceplate/dual-gate-delay-faceplate.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Ic gate delay design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
