> >> Philips Offers fastest ARM7-based microcontrollers to date with >> aggressive power management and Fast I/O capability Options What you save in chip cost you spend on (dual) voltage regulators and IO drivers (4mA IO ports, oh joy...) So does anyone offer the "obvious" companion analog chip that has 3.3V and 1.8V regulators and a couple medium-current push-pull drivers? (seems like the big packages designers put Vregs in to get sufficient power dissipation ought to have plenty of pins left over for a couple of drivers...) Some of the circuits designed for cell phones look pretty close, but not quite right...
