HiFiDAC: common questions
What microcontroller does the HiFiDAC use?
The HiFiDAC is built around the STM32C031K6Ux, from the STM32 family.
How big is the HiFiDAC PCB?
The HiFiDAC measures 40 × 40 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6062 mm thick.
How many components are on the HiFiDAC?
102 components, from 50 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the HiFiDAC design files?
From the BlockWorker/ModularAudio repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the HiFiDAC design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with BlockWorker. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the HiFiDAC without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
