Overview
SimpleSLICFilter is an open-source printed circuit board by ryukoposting, from the ryukoposting/SimpleSLICFilter repository on GitHub, published under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 40.6 × 80.6 mm with 46 parts on 35 nets, routed with 210 tracks and 54 vias.
It is built around the LM358, BZV55C2V4 and BZV55C5V1. Its parts include 18 resistors, 10 capacitors, 4 diodes, 3 ICs and 1 connector.

README
README.mdSimpleSLIC Filter
A pair of active filters and basic switching circuitry that mounts to the underside of a SimpleSLIC.

With SimpleSLIC mounted:

The audio input path features an RC high pass filter and a Sallen-Key low pass filter with a slight gain. The audio output path features an RC high pass filter partially constructed with the 100nF in line with the SimpleSLIC's audio output pin, followed by a Sallen-Key low pass filter, and an additional high-pass filter that introduces a DC bias into the signal.
After filtering, audio paths are fed to a CD4066 bidirectional switch, which switches the audio channels onto two rails.
- When pin 3 (EO) is driven high, the Audio output is switched onto pin 9 (O) and audio input is switched onto pin 11 (R)
- When pin 5 (ER) is driven high, the Audio output is switched onto pin 11 (R) and audio input is switched onto pin 9 (O)
Pin 3 effectively puts the device into "Originate" mode, and pin 5 puts the device into "Receive" mode (or "Answer" mode, if you prefer). Do not drive both pins high at the same time.
By connecting two devices' O pins and R pins together, then driving one device's EO pin high, and the other device's ER pin high, a "call" between the two devices is established.

Questions
How big is the SimpleSLICFilter PCB?
It measures 40.6 × 80.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the SimpleSLICFilter use?
46 parts, built around the LM358, BZV55C2V4 and BZV55C5V1. 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 SimpleSLICFilter KiCad files?
From the ryukoposting/SimpleSLICFilter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SimpleSLICFilter.kicad_pcb and its schematic SimpleSLICFilter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the SimpleSLICFilter design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-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).
