I got this e-mail today.

Of interest to embedded circuit designers:
    Two new additions to the EDExx IC Family:

EDE1144 Keypad Encoder IC - This 18 pin IC monitors up to a 16 key keypad
and returns data in both serial and parallel formats.  Features include
contact debouncing, auto-repeat when held, keybeep, and low-EMI keypress
detection.  Ideal for OEM microcontroller-based circuitry using either
membrane or mechanical keypads.  $3.25 quantity 1K.  DIP or SOIC package.

EDE707 Octal 7-Segment LED Decoder - This 28 pin IC controls up to eight
7-segment LED displays.  Features a full HEX character set
(0123456789AbCdEF), leading zero blanking, counter functionality, and a
four-bit data interface.  Works with either common anode or common cathode
displays.  $4.50 quantity 1K.  DIP or SOIC package.

Datasheets for both IC's as well as our full EDExx IC Family line are
available from http://www.elabinc.com/chips.htm or by mail/fax.  Engineering
design-in support available free of charge.  Contact: sales@elabinc.com
