Questions

How big is the Discrete Opamp PCB?

It measures 30 × 13 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Discrete Opamp use?

28 parts, built around the REF200AU, BSS84AK, 2N7002KQ and 2N2222A. 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 Discrete Opamp KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Discrete Opamp design in my own project?

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