Re: [linrad] Re: USB peripheral Radio
Yes, this is what I am thinking. A PCB for this part should not be too
difficult(?!), though it is not a trivial undertaking. The AD9874 is a
0.5mm 48 pin TQFP part - I have done the AD9854 successfully by hand,
which is an 80 pin device with 0.63 mm pin spacing.
It would be a simplification from the current hardware setup, though it
would not achieve the dynamic range that Leif has done. However,
bandwidth should be better, and you wouldnt need an expensive sound
card. I agree the best port would be USB if someone could do the
software. Of course there would have to be a USB interface also, but
this could be done on board.
Any takers?
