#95211 - probably not
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The datasheet says, "4 cycles per instruction byte provides up to 10 MIPS performance at 40 MHz
Which is a bit on the slow side. One clock 40MHz is availabe from more than one source.

Also Triscend/Zylogic is a piece of dedicated silicon and - especially after Triscends demise - I am a bit scared of it.
I can - should SILabs fold, relatively easy redesign to use the 40MHz oneclockers from Dallas or, when and if that happens a few more speedoos will probably have shown up.
A soft core for a FPGA will be useable on more than one manufacturers FPGA, that would not be the case with a Triscend/Zylogic implementation.

OK, call me a coward, but I am too scared to go the Zylogic route.
