About the KiCad PCB

KiCad is an open source Microchip SAM PCB design by DDeGonge, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 32 × 23 mm, with 42 components from 19 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ATSAMD51J19A-MU, from the Microchip SAM family. Other key parts include the AP63205WU-7 and AP2112K-3.3. By type, the board carries 18 capacitors, 9 resistors, 4 connectors, 3 ICs, 3 diodes and 3 inductors.

From the project

The MUB - An ultra-compact, modular processing unit

The gerber files to order the board are found in this repo. Order at your own risk.

A probably up-to-date BOM can be found here

A custom package for kicad exists in the libraries folder, so you can easily integrate the mounting footprint into your own board and simply connect a MUB in the slot.

KiCad: common questions

What microcontroller does the KiCad use?

The KiCad is built around the ATSAMD51J19A-MU, from the Microchip SAM family.

How big is the KiCad PCB?

The KiCad measures 32 × 23 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the KiCad?

42 components, from 19 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the KiCad design files?

From the DDeGonge/MultiUseBoard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the KiCad design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which DDeGonge chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the KiCad without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Microchip SAM firmware against it before you order a PCB.
