But, there are logic chips that run on 1 volts and under. PC's have 1.1 and .8 volt on board supplies, so their must be chips that run on these lower voltages. Maxim has many power supply chips made for microprocessor aps that brag about the efficiency of their .8 volt dc-dc converter chips. If anyone knows of a cmos logic product line that runs at 1 volt, I'd sure love to hear about it. Thanks Art -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
