Hello there, I'm looking for a very cheap microcontroller indeed. Pric point is under 0.35 USD, quantities of 50-100k for first production runs Application is an RGB LED controller that accepts color information ove asynchronous serial communication. I crammed that in an attiny11 prett easily, but Atmel is discontinuing that model and replacing it with th
2-3X as expensive attiny13! While it's nice that the attiny13 has alot o fun peripherals, all I really need is a moderately fast (2-4MIPS) cpu cor and a handful of I/O. I've been trying to get some quotes from the majo asian companies, Winbond, Sonix, Elan, but getting a response from them i like e-mailing with a fencepost. It's like these companies don't even wan to make a sale. So now I find myself turning to the online community fo advice and suggestions.Also, is it possible to get manufacturers to supply dies for chip on boar manufacturing? I bought some cool RGB fading leds that incorporate som sort of controller into the 5mm LED package, and it would be cool if w could do a similar thing.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide?
