README
Readme.mdSonar
Project used as a teaching aid for the UCT FPGA course.
Overview
This DE10-Lite daughter card features transmitter and receiver array for a 10 kHz sonar system.
Flexible Grid
The design features a 64-element grid of microphone sites and a connection matrix that supports 16 output channels. The user can populate up to 16 microphones and then use the matrix to route them to the receiver channels.

Questions
How big is the Sonar PCB?
It measures 150 × 150 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Sonar use?
353 parts, built around the AD8534ARZ-REEL, MAX11059ECB+, TPA6211A1DRBR and CMEJ-0415-42-P. 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 Sonar KiCad files?
From the jpt13653903/Sonar repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD/Sonar.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCAD/ADC.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Sonar 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).
