I read on another thread that the AIC1110 is not recommended for new designs due to the age and lack of support staff. I'm considering using it in a design due to the fact that it appears to be the only part in this family that supports PCM and has DTMF generation built in.
If I'm building what essentially amounts to a POTS phone is there another alternative that will provide audio on the PCM interface (this is needed to connect to the FXO/DAA interface chips) and includes DTMF capability?
I don't want to design with this chip if there are obsolescence plans. The website still shows it as active. Additionally I have used this part in another design as a simple PCM to audio bridge.
