Questions

How big is the Prism PCB?

It measures 120 × 65.6 mm and has 8 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Prism use?

229 parts, built around the MT3608, S25FL256SAGNFI001, SC189ASKTRT and SC189LSKTRT. 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 Prism KiCad files?

From the Y10-Labs/Prism-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Prism.kicad_pcb and its schematic Audio.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Prism design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Y10-Labs before reusing the design.
