Overview

Speaker is an open-source printed circuit board by lufixSch, from the lufixSch/sound-laser repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 55.4 × 64 mm with 64 parts on 18 nets, routed with 187 tracks and 53 vias.

It is built around the ADA4622-1BRZ, LM2735XMF and BC847, with the BC857 and SSB44 among its other parts. Its parts include 15 capacitors, 9 resistors, 7 connectors, 2 ICs and 2 transistors. It belongs with the audio and music boards of this library.

Abstract

Parametric speakers are able to transmit audible sound with a beamforming effect using ultrasonic transducers. This work will describe the development of such a speaker as well as the software necessary to operate it.

In order to build this speaker it is explained how the beamforming effect occurs and how the number of transducers as well as distance between them influences its behaviour. Furthermore non-linear acoustics and why they can demodulate amplitude or frequency modulated signals are discussed.

Questions

How big is the Speaker PCB?

It measures 55.4 × 64 mm and has 4 copper layers, 4.69 mm thick.

What parts does the Speaker use?

64 parts, built around the ADA4622-1BRZ, LM2735XMF, BC847 and BC857. 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 Speaker KiCad files?

From the lufixSch/sound-laser repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/pcb/speaker/speaker.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/pcb/speaker/power_supply_1A.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Speaker design in my own project?

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