ASA - Audio Signal Amplifier

The ASA is a board with an LM386 or any other audio signal amplifier. The board itself can be driven with a voltage between 5-12V. It adds and amplifies the given input signal(s) with a gain between ~50-200 to a connected speaker. If the supply of the board is available the green led is on. The board itself provides a reverse polarity protection.

Hardware

The pcb is created with KiCAD. All files are built with github actions so that they are ready for a production environment.

PCB

The circuit board is populated on one side. The best way for soldering the SMD components is within a vapor phase soldering system and for the THT components with a standard system.

Configuration

The gain of the ASA can be set with the RV2 trimmer. If the trimmer is not solderd the standard gain is around ~20. If R7 and C11 is solder bass boost mode is enabled.

Questions

How big is the Asa PCB?

It measures 54.1 × 30.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Asa use?

37 parts, built around the LM386, AO3400A and BAT43. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Asa KiCad files?

From the 0x007E/asa repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/ASA.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/ASA.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Asa design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask 0x007E before reusing the design.
