About the Powermod PCB

Powermod is an open source PCB design by zdeager, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 65 × 40 mm, with 65 components from 34 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the BM8563ESA, PY32F003F18P6, TPS63020DSJR, TP4056 and XC6206P332MR. By type, the board carries 28 resistors, 16 capacitors, 5 ICs, 5 connectors, 5 diodes and 3 transistors.

It belongs with the power & battery designs in this gallery.

From the project

Machine-generated PCB design for a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W power scheduler / UPS / battery board. The electrical design is defined in code (netlist.py); the board was laid out and routed with the scripted KiCad + Freerouting toolchain below, then hand-finished.

Machine-generated PCB design for a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W power scheduler / UPS / battery board. The electrical design is defined in code (netlist.py); the board was laid out and routed with the scripted KiCad + Freerouting toolchain below, then hand-finished.

65 × 40 mm, 4-layer (F.Cu signal / In1 solid GND / In2 signal / B.Cu signal). Bolts under a Pi Zero 2 W (holes on the Pi's 58×23 grid, flush to the N+W edges); the Pi covers y0–30, and all user-facing parts (USB-C out, battery, button, LEDs, jumpers, test pads) sit on the exposed strip below it. Single-sided assembly.
