Key features
- One pair of active optical audio transmitter/receiver modules (JIS F05, e.g. TOSLINK™)
- One Digilent Pmod™ Compatible 1x6 pin header
- Interface Type 1 (GPIO)
- Fully compliant with the Digilent Pmod™ Interface Specification, Version 1.3.1
Overview
The Pmod™ Compatible fiberaudio-pm peripheral module features a pair of active optical audio transmitter/receiver modules, commonly referred to as "optical S/PDIF". The module allows embedded developers to explore optical data transfer technologies using Digilent Pmod™ ecosystem components, such as FPGA development boards.
Review Notes (Rev.2)
- CE marking requires compliance with Directive 2015/863 (EU) amending Annex II to Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS)
- WEEE marking not required if the board is classified as a 'component' according to FAQ on Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE)
- Removed marking in
Rev.3
- Removed marking in
- Heat-sinking effect of GND pad thermal spokes is excessive at 400µm width
- Adjusted to 250µm in
Rev.4
- Adjusted to 250µm in
- "VCC" and "GND" silkscreen placed too close to connector
J1. Stroke could be a bit wider for better readability.- Adjusted position and size in
Rev.4
- Adjusted position and size in

Questions
How big is the Fiberaudio pm PCB?
It measures 25.4 × 22.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Fiberaudio pm use?
8 parts, built around the PLR237/T10BK and PLT237/T10WH. 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 Fiberaudio pm KiCad files?
From the islandcontroller/fiberaudio-pm repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/fiberaudio-pm.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/fiberaudio-pm.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Fiberaudio pm design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-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).
