You'll be surprised at how fast the pincount gets used up. Especially when interfacing with more traditional A/D busses (not pic). Anyway, there are smaller packages (but for some reason plcc's are a little more expensive). Actually I think the 100pin tqfp would be ideal for the logic analyzer as you wouldn't need to multiplex inputs. Anyway, 100 pins sounds like a lot, but in actuality you only have 72 or so free for your project. My current project actually needs to move up to a larger package, I've run out of pins! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denny Esterline" > BTW, are they all PLCC, QFP and such, or are there some in DIPs and > SOIC?
