Thanks,

yes I can use a mean to reduce the peaks but I want to get noise down 
to a minimum before I start to paper over the cracks.

I am starting to suspect that it's the ethernet driver loading the on 
board power rails.

It's true the board layout could go further , this is why I was 
asking if anyone had direct experience of noise levels , this would 
help me see if it is a defect in my work or I am up against a 
limitation of the TS board.

Some input from Technologic may be helpful here.

Many thanks for comments.
