A prayer: please bring back the MAX038. That chip was discontinued ages ago and never replaced, although it would still be handy today in places where DDS or PLL are too noisy and/or complicated.
- HeyLaughingBoy 6y agoHow many do you need? I might have a handful.
- squarefoot 6y agoThanks for the offer. I don't need them actually, although if they became mass produced again, their availability at decent prices (now they're way overpriced as every rare chip) could spark some ideas. I don't understand why they never replaced them; the glorious MC1648 itself was upgraded as MC12148 and MC100EL1648.
- HeyLaughingBoy 6y agoWell, even a cheap 8-bit MCU can do pretty much everything they did in firmware using DDS, so I'm guessing that had a lot to do with it.
