Yeah, I am surprised they seem to be getting it into a 6 pin SOT-23 - least=
 I also assume it is an SOT-23, I don't know off hand of any other 6 pin pa=
ckage, unless it is a shortened SO-8, cut down to 6 pins. They must have sc=
aled the die down a fair bit, as the extra function modules will take a not=
 insignificant bit of additional room as well.

And I do like the emulated EE functionality, I had thought of a project tha=
t would suit one a 10F, but it would have needed about 4 bytes of EEPROM. T=
hese chips would solve that nicely.
