 		 #184248 - I'd sugest you consider older CPLD's
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I just picked up a few XILINX XCR128's for about $3? each. They are, IIRC, 5-volt tolerant and therefore don't require level shifting buffers in order to handle the job I have for 'em. That's just one example, but they can have quite a number of pins, though the ones I ordered have, ISTM, 80 or so.

That might provide a starting point for you. These are extremely low-power devices.

   Have you considered programmable logic?            01/01/70 00:00      
      I had suggested this as well            01/01/70 00:00      
         Yes ... I remember that ...            01/01/70 00:00

                        Not huge in size            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Some of them can handle that.            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Yes and no            01/01/70 00:00

               What would YOU suggest?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Here's a thought ...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Probably            01/01/70 00:00
