Re: need small PAL with SR latch

Hello Colin,

yes there seems to be lots of difernt parts of the same sort, maybe they
would be cheaper otherwise, or if you didnt keep designing them out HA ! the
cheapest I found was 70p @ qty 100


If that is 70 Pence (UK) I'd still consider that expensive.

Maybe it has an internal clock running for some reason ? bias generator
perhaps ?

I wonder if the lattice software predicts supply curent im just tryin to get
to grips with that softwar enow.

Maybe but when something gets warm without doing much I don't like to design it in.

I was always a bit afraid that someday an assembly house messes up PAL placement. Others (the PAL aficionados) told me that I am too paranoid about that. Then came that day. Almost 100 boards totally non-functional because they had slipped a number on the SMT placement. The boss there almost went ballistic.

Regards, Joerg
