Darnit. > Well, I've been designing some new stuff at work using these chips that are no bigger than a grain of rock salt (3 x 3 mm).

TI has gone insane, at last count there were 136 pages of TI logic chips, at at least 100 part #'s per page, that is 13000+ different parts! (Yes, some part numbers specify tape and reel rather than cut tape, so it may be a little less. But, totally insane to make so many oh-so-slightly different parts. I don't understand.
