Hello,
What is the status of the old, 5V Spartan family from Xilinx? I have 2 current products that use them. (XCS10-3PC84 and XCS30-3TQ144) I suddenly noticed all the distributors either no longer list these parts or indicate they are special order. Newark has a part that matches the part number, but lists the manufacturer as Mux-Lab Inc, and the price is outrageous, $42.48, with no discount at any quantity. I got them just a couple of months ago for $16 in small quantity.
I was assured by somebody at Xilinx, possibly Peter Alfke, that the 5 V Spartan line would continue to be available for a long time. I suppose if they sold off the masks to an obsolete chip supplier, that is "still available".
Jon
