Video signal booster board: common questions

What microcontroller does the Video signal booster board use?

The Video signal booster board is built around the EFM32HG322F64, from the Silicon Labs family.

How big is the Video signal booster board?

The Video signal booster board measures 40 × 41.5 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.55 mm thick.

How many components are on the Video signal booster board?

128 components, from 31 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 Video signal booster board design files?

From the timvideos/video-signal-booster-board repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Video signal booster board design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which timvideos chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Video signal booster board without the hardware?

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