Questions

How big is the Buck converter PCB?

It measures 25.8 × 18 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Buck converter use?

12 parts. 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 converter KiCad files?

From the Zektopic/One-Day-PCB-Project repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is buck-converter/buck-converter.kicad_pcb and its schematic boost-converter/boost-converter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Buck converter design in my own project?

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