Overview

Tiny Sound Source is an open-source printed circuit board by 13chuck13-ua, from the 13chuck13-ua/Tiny-Sound-Source repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 54.8 × 40 mm with 23 parts on 32 nets, routed with 116 tracks and 11 vias.

It is built around the ATTINY2313A-SU and LM7805. Its parts include 11 capacitors, 4 resistors, 3 connectors, 2 ICs and 2 diodes. It belongs with the audio and music boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

KiCad/README.md

Tiny Sound Source - KiCad files.

Schematic, PCB layout, and Gerber files.

The circuit has been tested and works correctly on:

  • IBM PS/1 model 2121 80386SX-20MHz
  • CMP MIG-32 laptop 80286-12MHz

Schematic

Tiny Sound Source

  • R2 та C5 separate the long SELECT (INT1) signal from the short STROBE (INT0) pulses. Component values ​​may need to be adjusted.
  • R3 and C3 are the main PWM output filter.
  • R4 and C4 are an additional filter for DSS mode. If you do not need this filter, replace R4 with a jumper and do not install C4.
  • "Compatibility with the FTL Sound Adapter" is simply a jumper wire between pins 12 and 17 of the LPT connector.

PCB layout

Tiny Sound Source

Ready-to-use Gerber files are located in the Gerber subdirectory. If you wish to make changes and generate your own Gerber files, I recommend using the User.Drawings layer as F.Silkscreen.

Questions

How big is the Tiny Sound Source PCB?

It measures 54.8 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tiny Sound Source use?

23 parts, built around the ATTINY2313A-SU and LM7805. 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 Tiny Sound Source KiCad files?

From the 13chuck13-ua/Tiny-Sound-Source repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/Tiny_Sound_Source.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/Tiny_Sound_Source.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tiny Sound Source design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask 13chuck13-ua before reusing the design.
