About the MCLZ8 PCB

MCLZ8 is an open source NXP PCB design by jeroenhn, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 41 × 62.6 mm, with 6 components from 3 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Teensy4.1, from the NXP family. Other key parts include the SN74LVC573A and Z80CPU.

MCLZ8: common questions

What microcontroller does the MCLZ8 use?

The MCLZ8 is built around the Teensy4.1, from the NXP family.

How big is the MCLZ8 PCB?

The MCLZ8 measures 41 × 62.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the MCLZ8?

6 components, from 3 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 MCLZ8 design files?

From the jeroenhn/zykl repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the MCLZ8 design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with jeroenhn. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the MCLZ8 without the hardware?

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