Looking for >5V pretty fast logic

Good suggestion. The problem is I need it to have low current consumption and that is difficult to find when it needs to be fast also (

The 'HEF' Cmos (eg HEF4093) is twice as fast as the normal stuff.

Klaus, check out this one:

John Larkin had recently used it in a switcher. Unfortunately it's around $0.50. Other than the CD4000 series there isn't much anymore that could run at high voltages. 74HC is usually rated up to 6V.

Joerg, Nice part! You really ought to find some clientele who can afford 50¢ ;-)

Oh, they all could. But it doesn't always make sense since many designs are very high volume. Right now I am "discretizing" an IC design because the trusty old parts might go unobtanium soon and nearly all the newfangled chips that could replace it are north of two bucks. Heck, we can get a good bottle of Merlot for that. Ok, I know you don't like the Shaw brand ;-)

BTW, for the record, it wasn't me but it was John who brought this part to our attention a few months ago.

Good ol' Upchuck ;-)

Here's my latest favorite Chardonnay... Kim Crawford "unoaked"... $13

Thanks, John! I need such parts to convince clients to stick with a cheap low-voltage process for the main chip and use interface-specific parts at the loads.

Our favorite winery is this one:

Had a Sangiovese yesterday, bottled it ourselves back then. That was a lot of fun. Unfortunately Ed (seen in the picture) has passed away :-(

That was not what National's marketeers intended the part to do ;-)
