Hey, I could actually use one of those in the furnace board to make 3.3v from 5v. Do they make one that can do 5v to 3.8v ? The gumstix has its own LDO regulators so you can't feed it clean 3.3v, and they don't have the dissipation to handle 5v input. OTOH I was thinking of something on the order of a 5x5 or 6x6 grid. A 6x6 can be broken out on one layer, no vias needed.
If you want to build something you could attach to your gumstix, you could look at some various audio codec's. The AIC33 from Texas Instruments comes to mind -- I think that's available in a 5x5 or 6x6 array. BTW, have I mentioned how confusing it is to me that you inhabit the same mailing lists to which I belong ;-) --wpd _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
