Questions

How big is the Psu PCB?

It measures 42 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Psu use?

68 parts, built around the AP63301WU, CH224A, TPS2553DBV and TSD05DYFR. 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 Psu KiCad files?

From the xdylanm/modular-system-psu repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/psu/psu.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/psu-faceplate/psu-faceplate.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Psu 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).
