ATX Breakout Board with dual USB charging capability. ATX 24pin, EPS12V (also known as ATX12V 4+4 for connecting 4 or 8 pin CPU connector), and PCI-E connector can be connected to provide 3 12V “rails” along with 5V and 3.3V outputs.

Revision: A

Top and bottom ground layers are stitched together to allow better heat transfer and reduce noise.

USB bottom port is powered by 5VSB, top port powered by regular 5V rail fused to 3A.

This board is based on ATX PSU Distributor from eMAKERshop, and ATX Breakout Board designed by Francesco Truzzi.

• C1: Capacitor 0.1uF 0805 package (77-VJ0805Y105JXQTBC).
• D1, D2: LED 0805 package (720-LGR971-KN-1).
• F1: 3A fuse 1206 package (576-1206L300SLWR).
• J1: ATX 24 pin, right angle (Sparkfun part).
• J2: ATX 12v 4+4/EPS12V connector, right angle (538-39-30-0080).
• J3: PCI-E 12v connector, right angle (538-45558-0003).
• J4: dual port USB-A (571-1903815-1).
• P1: Pin header 1x4 (855-M20-9990346).
• P2: Pin header 1x8 (855-M20-9990846).
• R1,R2: 1.3k resistor (660-SG73P2ATTD1301F).
• R3, R4: Power resistors, OPTIONAL. Needed for old ATX power supplies. Use 5-9W power resistors if PSU keeps shutting down.
• SW1: Power switch (629-GPTS203211B).
• U1: USB charge port controller (595-TPS2513ADBVR).
• X1,X3,X5: Terminal block 4P (571-282858-4).
• X2,X4: Terminal block 2P (571-282858-2).

Optional, X2 & X4 can be combined to use a single terminal block 4P.

For P1, P2 acquiring a single 12pin header and cutting it to length would be cheaper.

Physical assembly designed with the intent to be used in more of a vertical orientation, e.g. on a right-angle header plugged into a breadboard.

Batteryless clock module - now more shrinky than the old version!
Features access to all DS1337 IO pins plus a separate IO voltage supply for their pull-up resistors, and accessible connections to both sides of the discharge-blocking diode between the supercap and regulator.

DS1337S on top, Supercap (I chose a 1.5F that happens to have 30+ohm ESR) and 78L05 (SOIC version 5-volt regulator) on bottom, and one or a pair of [low-Vf] diodes makes for a batteryless clock module that will happily keep time with somewhere around monthly charging, on anything from 7+v (using regulator) or can be run direct on 1.8-5v.
Other passives on board bottom include 2 ceramic SMD caps (0.1u suggested) and 3 of the 4 SMD 0805 10k resistors, and on board top, 2 small electrolytic/tantalum, the last SMD 0805 10k resistor and the optional alternate PTH 10k resistor.

Charge session[s] should total 24-48 hours per month for better results with high-ESR supercaps.
The regulator can also power other small circuitry; just keep in mind power dissipation and current rating (~1W or 100mA).
