3.5″ headphone jacks – close catch, CTIA

The CTIA’s announcement of plans to standardize around 3.5″ headphone jacks is timed excellently – while stumbling through my mail, I found the part pictured below:

Dallas Maxim’s MAX145xx series was introduced in 2008, and should be on designer’s desks by now. Given Maxim’s traditional spot-on accuracy when it comes to commercial usage, there must have been quite a bit of demand.

P.S. Further information on the chip can be had here…
