Questions
How big is the Kicad mic amp PCB?
It measures 75 × 25 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Kicad mic amp use?
35 parts, built around the MIC5365-3.0YD5-TR. 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 Kicad mic amp KiCad files?
From the Despairon/kicad_mic_amp repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad_mic_amp.kicad_pcb and its schematic amplifier.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Kicad mic amp design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
