Questions

How big is the Radiohead PCB?

It measures 85 × 56 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Radiohead use?

175 parts, built around the TLV9001IDCK, TLV9064ID, LM4562NA and SGTL5000XNLA3. 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 Radiohead KiCad files?

From the mpvano/radiohat2 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is FAB/radiohat2/radiohead.kicad_pcb and its schematic FAB/radiohat2/QSD_Receiver.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Radiohead design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
