Speaking of second sources... Anyone have a suggested replacement for an Allegro UCN5832 or UCN5833? I have it designed into a product and am now being told that we need to make an end of life buy. It's a peripheral driver with 32 open collector outputs. The serial input drives a 32 bit shift register. The shift register drives a 32 bit parallel latch, which then drives the outputs. Great way to get a lot of relatively high voltage high current outputs from a PIC using 3 wires (data, clock, latch). So, can anyone think of a replacement? THANKS!
