Some years ago when I worked for HP, I designed a (new at that time) TI
320C10 DSP chip into a new HP instrument. There was a rather odd piece
of glue logic that I needed to implement the design. I called up TI and
they assured me there were no plans to discontinue the part.
You guessed it. Just as we were ready to go into production the part
was discontinued. I had to scramble to figure out some other means to
perform the function (which meant a PC board turn).
