Hi all,

I'm looking for a multi-digit (8 is nice) LED 7-segment display driver chip=
..

I was looking at this one and it looks pretty good
http://www.maximintegrated.com/datasheet/index.mvp/id/1339 but I was hoping
someone here knows of something better. Ideally, it should be made by a
company that's easy to deal with and whose products are common/generally
available. So... not Maxim. In addition, it would be really nice if the
digits weren't multiplexed/pulsed - I really hate the concept of pulse/duty
cycle for driving LEDs. Ideally, each LED (segment) should be directly
driven at 100% duty cycle, with varying current to control brightness.

I'll have to make it myself using a CPLD if I can't find a 100% duty cycle
driver, but I'd really rather use something off the shelf.

Please advise.
