Merged17
About the Merged17 PCB
Merged17 is an open source PCB design by pentolope, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 120 × 120 mm, with 103 components from 18 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the LP5907MFX-3.3/NOPB, SN74LVC244APWR and USBLC6-4SC6. By type, the board carries 16 microphones, 9 capacitors, 4 ICs, 2 resistors, 1 crystal and 1 fuse.
From the project
A 120 mm circular, four-layer KiCad 10 carrier for sixteen MSM261DHP006 PDM MEMS microphones running at 3.3 V. A socketed Sipeed Tang Nano 9K performs acquisition and decimation; a 2012 Raspberry Pi Model B collects the audio over SPI0 over a 26-way cable to the Pi's P1 header.

The sixteen acoustic ports sit on a 54.00 mm radius at 22.5 degree intervals, channel 0 on +X, numbered counter-clockwise viewed from the component side.
