I have had reasonable dealings with TI. I have stumped then on several
> occations as well and had to find a workaround.
I assume "stumped" translates to: "asked them something that they didn't care to spend the resources trying to answer"? (presumably they *can* answer all questions since these are
*their* designs; the question is whether they think it "essential" to do so...) You might also look at Microchip. Good dealings with them as well.
yes, I keep hearing good things there. But, I don't think they have parts that fit this particular applciation (though I think they will be a good fit for "what comes next")
Thanks!
