It just went on my list of things to have before I die!!!

We did ship some boards with rows of 150pF SMT capacitors on register select inputs of an IDT bit-slice ALU due to a die shrink that made the internal registers get corrupted with fast incoming edges. Talk about analog solutions to digital problems! --David Forbes

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American G.I.

Answer - switched die three years ago, Ft is now " much better " ( now 3x old parts ). Odd they never mentioned that to people who work for the same company. Simulate design, Build design, verify design, ship it for a few years. Odd things start to happen. Look at some parts. Package looks different. Ask around.....

The only path I see is, "Get 'em hooked using their old receivers, and they will need new receivers to replace them as they decide they can't live without the enhancements or as their old receivers die." But any number of users might decide that the legacy capabilities were sufficient.

So the change is likely to provide a modest upgrade path for the vast majority of actual users, at the expense of a few die-hards (hobbyists, mostly) who are trying to get more out of an LF timing source than it is really capable of delivering.
