The consensus about 2910-style sequencers is that AMD got surpassed in the speed department, primarily by Cypress and IDT, although I notice AMD also has CMOS versions of the 2910. TI and Analog Devices also make sequencers, although I haven't checked them out. Since my requirements are for speed rather than functionality (interrupts, etc.), I will most likely go with the Cypress CY7C910 part, which is something like $12 in 100's from our rep. Now my problem is coming up with a 4K x 48 static ram solution for the WCS - everybody has these fast cache srams which are unnecessarily fast and expensive for me. Thanks to all (and there were suprisingly many, in this day of DSP's and RISC's :-) who replied with info, it really helped. -- Rainer Malzbender Real programmers build hardware.
