I like Atmel's pricing and line up of parts, it is however a bit of concern over availability and what models they might make disapear. NXP part's are more expensive and lack some of the features I would like. Philips traditionally has had longer stability of there parts, however they are now NXP and things are apt to change faster as a consequence. I would like something with CAN interface's on them (oddly I'm looking at microchip for the CAN interface drivers). Are there others out there that offer these? (that aren't being sued by microchip or some other legal hassle). Stephen R. Phillips was here Please be advised what was said may be absolutely wrong, and hereby this disclaimer follows. I reserve the right to be wrong and admit it in front of the entire world. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection.
