About the Usb audio PCB
Usb audio is an open source PCB design by skiselev, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 53.3 × 40.6 mm, with 78 components from 35 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the PCM2902C, REG103UA, PLR135/T8, PLT133/T6A and OPA2353. By type, the board carries 32 capacitors, 27 resistors, 6 ICs, 4 connectors, 3 switches and 2 diodes.
It belongs with the audio designs in this gallery.
From the project
Compact USB Audio Adapter
Have a well lighten workspace. Use a low power (25W or so) soldering iron with thin tip, better yet a temperature controlled soldering station. Keep the tip of soldering iron clean. Use thin solder with flux. Have some desoldering braid to remove accidental solder bridges or excess solder. I found it convenient first to put some solder on a first pad of a component (or on two opposite pads in case of an IC. When put the component using tweezers and heat the pad at the same time. Next double check component orientation and solder remaining pads. Note that diodes and tantalum capacitors are…
