About the Asa PCB
Asa is an open source PCB design by 0x007E, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-NC-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 54.1 × 30.5 mm, with 29 components from 23 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the LM386. By type, the board carries 11 capacitors, 7 resistors, 3 diodes, 2 connectors, 1 IC and 1 transistor.
It belongs with the audio designs in this gallery.
From the project
Audio Signal Amplifier
The ASA is a board with an LM386 or any other audio signal amplifier. The board itself can be driven with a voltage between 5-12V. It adds and amplifies the given input signal(s) with a gain between ~50-200 to a connected speaker. If the supply of the board is available the green led is on. The board itself provides a reverse polarity protection.
The pcb is created with KiCAD. All files are built with github actions so that they are ready for a production environment.
