Questions
How big is the SI4684 SMD PCB?
It measures 100 × 68 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the SI4684 SMD use?
91 parts, built around the LM2596S-5.0, NE5532, AMS1117-3.3 and MIC5504-1.8YM5-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 SI4684 SMD KiCad files?
From the PE5PVB/SI4684-DAB-Receiver repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kicad/Mainboard SMD/SI4684 SMD.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad/Controller SMD/SI4684 controller SMD.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the SI4684 SMD design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
