Questions

How big is the Audio buffer PCB?

It measures 30 × 8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.09 mm thick.

What parts does the Audio buffer use?

15 parts, built around the OPA197IDBV and LBSS84LT1G. 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 Audio buffer KiCad files?

From the cycfi/audio_buffer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is audio_buffer.kicad_pcb and its schematic audio_buffer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Audio buffer design in my own project?

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