There are much larger chips like the TEA5711 one but even that's hard to find. The Sony CXA1600 is probably gone as well. I believe there just isn't any serious market for this stuff. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam. Use another domain or send PM.

These require a micro to drive to drive them. The SiLab's parts are about 2.96 USD + Micro where as the MK484is less than a dollar (I think) Where as the MK484 requires only s tuned circuit to select the frequency. I'm trying work out a way to use a MK484 on a set frequency with minimal drift across operating temp. JOe |
