Questions

How big is the Dac module PCB?

It measures 51.5 × 41.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Dac module use?

33 parts, built around the AD8397AR and MCP4921-E/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 Dac module KiCad files?

From the visgence/dac_module repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is dac_module.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Dac module design in my own project?

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