BlockBuilder
About the BlockBuilder PCB
BlockBuilder is an open source PCB design by AnotherMike-exe, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 1 × 18.3 mm, with 79 components from 45 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the W5500, SI3402-B-GMR, VO618A-3X017T and TLV431BCDBZR. By type, the board carries 39 capacitors, 24 resistors, 6 inductors, 4 ICs, 3 diodes and 1 crystal.
From the project
Reusable KiCad 10 PCB layout blocks: module reference boards, design block fragments and host setup docs
Reusable PCB layout blocks for Plum Solutions boards. Nine schematic design blocks exist. Each one gets a matching layout so a host project can drop in the parts, the routing and the copper pours already proven on a reference board.
The fragment lives outside this repository, in the shared library on the Plum volume. See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.
PoE-PD-Si3402-Class1 is retired. PoE always arrives on an Ethernet cable, so a PoE block with no jack was never a drop-in part.
