Right, I realized the brown-out issue when I was trying to get a regular
16 part to work at 3V.

Also, I was looking at the price for quantity 25, which was cheaper.  I
also may have been comparing prices for different temp ranges.   I
didn't check too closely.

As an aside, I saw the regular 16 parts seemed to work fine all the way
down to 2.5 V.  I figured it would be better to get one with the right
spec, though.
