PAC5523: common questions
What microcontroller does the PAC5523 use?
The PAC5523 is built around the STM32G431CBUX, from the STM32 family.
How big is the PAC5523 PCB?
The PAC5523 measures 60 × 44 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the PAC5523?
126 components, from 64 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the PAC5523 design files?
From the Jana-Marie/OtterControlNG repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the PAC5523 design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-1.2 license, which Jana-Marie chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the PAC5523 without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
