Leon

Thanks, very clean layout. What CAD program are you using? We had a
discussion on Teamspeak Xylo forum yesterday and tried to get a consensus. 
If we were on the same page with CAD we could probably do an SVN or
similar
as we design stuff.


I use Pulsonix:

http://www.pulsonix.com

It's rather expensive, but cheaper than Protel, OrCAD etc. It's also much
easier to use than competitive products. It can import designs from most of 
the other packages. The free demo (100 pin limit) can be used for viewing
designs.



Phil - VK6APH has suggested that we go a board production probably with
the
TI chips to work with the Xylo/Saxo. We have not decided on the A/D but
the
TI chips really look like the way to go since they are readily available
here in the States from Digi-Key and the AD has almost the same specs as
the
Cirrus offering. It is about 1/2 the cost.


Is that the TLV320AIC23B?
I see from earlier posts that is the correct part. I've just ordered some from RS, they are *much* cheaper than the Cirrus chip!
