Child Projects

Active:

OpenNGADC -
Open Next-Gen Analog to Digital Converter. High precision and
achieving maximum attainable specifications are the primary goals. No
analog stages on-board, all supplies either external or by-passable.
Probably based on the Arda AT1201 ADC IC.

OpenNGDAC -
Open Next-Gen Digital to Analog Converter. High precision and
achieving maximum attainable specifications are the primary goals. No
analog stages on-board, all supplies either external or by-passable.
Current options for DAC either PCM4222, or ES9018 (Neither support
Multi-bit Delta-Sigma input). Arda AT1401 good choice for up to 1.5Mhz
PCM formats, but not yet available.

Proposed:

OpenNGPSU -
Open Next-Gen Power Supply Unit.
A power supply for general purpose digital/analog projects needs
development. Has uses with many projects. Many options to start, plan
to make EaglePCB files, build guide, and part list all open source.

OpenNGSR -
Open Next-Gen Super Regulator.
This is needed by many projects, we all need an open super regulator!
The more people working on it the better for everyone.

OpenLVDS -
Open Low Voltage Differential Signalling.
Plan to make a standard LVDS-I2S bridge. Don't we all need an Open
standard in the world for this? either based on HDMI or ethernet.

OpenDSD -
Open Delta-Sigma Driver.
Maybe a standard cross-platform Delta-Sigma driver could be developed
and embraced by manufacturers, this would be a great help to the
general acceptance and implementation of Delta-Sigma audio.


footnotes:
This project really aims to take on multiple fields where open
hardware is lacking. These projects all aim to have many uses across
many fields.

The whole concept of open development (to me) is not just to stop
reinventing the wheel, but to move forward and work together as a
society on common goals.
