I think you can easily do most of that with Microchip's smallest uP driving an LED.

Why don't they make this IC?

It wouldn't be very hard to program a PIC10F220 micro to do that (no cap required). SOT23-6 package. I believe it would meet your price point as well.

I am using LEDs on PCBs as visual test points more and more as I'm sure most of you do. Wouldn't it be nice if an low cost (

It's called an LMC555, one cap, and 3 resistors.

I'm using LEDs as visual testpoints less and less. I'd rather use something else. Be that a single pin, where I clock bytes and words out serially, be that the UART, or the SPI.

Wouldn't want to discourage you, but don't start clipping your coupons too early.

How interesting Win and Sephro. I thought a MPU was for control and data crunching but now you say it is a simple LED VVM (Visual Volt Meter). I guess I fell in an analog hole and lost sight of Digital's vast capabilities. Thanks, Harry

3 Resistors + 1 cap + 1 SO-8 is a lot more space than a PIC.
Someone could go into business selling pre-programmed PICs for this job.

The recent idea, that analog is dead and that digital is the only way to go, is popular. However, digital's reportedly vast capabilities are in reality only half-vast.
