Re: 74LS90, 74LS92 and other TTL are OBSOLETE???

Hi Joerg
Checked TI... Yes the 1$/pc is the final trick!!! Raising the price for
something that was 10cents/pc gives a good push away from it!!!

I'm not so sure now if the package migration meaning the continue
existance of a chip :(
But hope I'm wrong ;)

Yes, I'm sure that this last paragraph is true... Just hoping somebody
out there (IC makers) realize it...
Have an example of what simplicity is...
Years ago have done a design where I use a single transistor to open a
uCU bus instead of a 14DIP IC that competitors use to do it! At some
cases basic electronic circuitry does the job EXCELLENT!!! But of
course if we have forget what makes a gate and see it always as a
'block" then we will always use overkilled ICs to do something simple,
and then we will try to shrink it so much that we will finally make it
small enough as the starting basic simple circuit!!!
Yes, of course we will have alot of "extra power" available for future,
but that's not always usefull...
