Mac, I've attached a picture of the TO-252 for you. If you don't like using that package, the LM1117 also comes in the TO-220 package, for which you would have to drill three holes. The whole digital board can be built using through hole parts just by drilling 7 extra holes. Why would you ask someone to redesign a board when all you have to do is drill 7 more holes. The si570 is what it is and in the only package available. Jerry K5LRU -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [minima] Re: Minima PCB (eagle cad's) From: "Mac A.
