I need the ic 00xx at location 1L is there anywhere to get this? Arcadeshop says out of stock
 
I would usually stay away from anything Italy. Those are from Caius. He made them and is a good member here.
 
The Jrok's are a better deal.
I wonder if the lack of availability (discontinued?) of the XiLinx part is the issue for these repro customs? @jrok

When Xilinx end-of-lifed the 5v parts I bought a LOT of them :) I've still got a few left. In theory you can still find refurb'ed parts from China, which have a pretty reasonable chance of being the part # you ordered. Anything from there needs to be fully tested and burned in.

Design wise I've swapped over to the Lattice M4A5 which is still in production and classed as 'mature', but for how long is always the question, the price will go up in 2025 because the cost of the parts literally more than doubled since I last did a bulk order. I'm picturing one backyard fab still capable of running a 5v compatible process dutifully churning out parts :)


EDIT:

Well... looks like all the M4A5 parts have hit End Of Life, last shipment 27th Dec 2024.. end of an era :) When I run out of them it's back to building this stuff out of TTL (!)
