Questions
How big is the Dsp amplifier x4 PCB?
It measures 76 × 76.9 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Dsp amplifier x4 use?
179 parts, built around the STM32F401RCT6, 74AVC9112DCH, 25LC512-I/P and AMS1117-1.8. 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 Dsp amplifier x4 KiCad files?
From the blus-audio/hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is blus-mini/kicad/dsp-amplifier-x4.kicad_pcb and its schematic blus-mini-mk2/kicad/amplifiers.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Dsp amplifier x4 design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
