PCB Voltera: common questions
What microcontroller does the PCB Voltera use?
The PCB Voltera is built around the ICE40UP5K-SG48ITR, from the FPGA family.
How big is the PCB Voltera?
The PCB Voltera measures 83 × 58 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 0.8 mm thick.
How many components are on the PCB Voltera?
46 components, from 20 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the PCB Voltera design files?
From the Michaelf09/PCB_Voltera repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the PCB Voltera design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Michaelf09. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the PCB Voltera without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug FPGA firmware against it before you order a PCB.
