 		 #188984 - which means they were thinking about logic-level MOSFET driv
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Andy Peters said:
I'm looking at the Silicon Labs ARM things, and the chips have a small handful of high-drive pins on one of the ports. And the bonus is that these pins have a separate I/O supply, up to 6V, which means they were thinking about logic-level MOSFET drive ...

Just been to a seminar with SiLabs about those very devices and, yes - that is exactly what they were thinking about!

NXP stated aim, "to make 8-bit architectures obsolete"            01/01/70 00:00      
   Available in DIP!            01/01/70 00:00      
      no continuity            01/01/70 00:00      
         It gets worse.            01/01/70 00:00      
            We need a small package            01/01/70 00:00      
               Not small enough            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Funny, that!            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Nice size, shame about price            01/01/70 00:00      
            Poor NXP, XMC1000 series announced            01/01/70 00:00      
   No 5V option            01/01/70 00:00      
      just curious            01/01/70 00:00      
         Because it is useful.            01/01/70 00:00      
         RE: why the 5V fascination?             01/01/70 00:00      
            well, you will have to redesign anyhow.            01/01/70 00:00      
         Power MOSFET drive and 5V ADC            01/01/70 00:00      
         5V can be surprisingly useful            01/01/70 00:00      
            Most Automotive parts DO use 5V            01/01/70 00:00      
            why?            01/01/70 00:00      
               Close, but no Cigar...            01/01/70 00:00

                     which means they were thinking about logic-level MOSFET driv            01/01/70 00:00      
                        I was looking for something like this            01/01/70 00:00      
                           isn't it a pity ..            01/01/70 00:00      
                              this            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 but that is ~15 bucks :)            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    for one off            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       four bucks!            01/01/70 00:00

                                    HUH?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       What??? Which SiLabs clocks at >168E6?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          he means higher than 80Mhz            01/01/70 00:00      
                           just wait            01/01/70 00:00      
                        MOSFET drive            01/01/70 00:00      
               More than 5V tolerant inputs            01/01/70 00:00      
   yeah and your problem is?            01/01/70 00:00      
   You ask me Andy            01/01/70 00:00
