Robert, re: "Care to take a look ... the GXLV series" My first response is one of amazement that NSM would offer chips at three different voltages from 2.2V thru 2.9V when only one is needed ... the lowest. The fact that NSM priced only one of these beasts ... the 2.2v version, tells the tale. $59.40 in 100+ lots for their 200MHz model at 1W. Folks ... this baby would sell like hot cakes in all kinds of markets for <$30 (<$20 in 10K+). At $59.40, it's still in the design stage (all the remaining -- higher powered -- categories represent production problems and a 0.35u line width). Repeat ... a 0.35u line width. Side Talk: I get newsletters all the time telling of how this company or that have managed to speed things up and reduce the power draw until you could run a factory on penlight cell for a decade. Modern chips can do wonders with 100ua (~0.2 milliwatts). If you have Watts to burn and a power cord budget, you can call Intel. The world needs gadgets that run on AA batteries instead of costly Lithium-Magnesium-Nickel-Cadmium--Explosive Toxic Waste-Hydride monsters. When that happens, sales will rocket. It's a crying shame that Intel was prohibited from buying CYRX. Imagine the things you could today have if the CYRX PCOAC design was available in 0.18u today and 0.13u tommorrow. Craig
