[sdiy] Sic Transit OTA Mundi

One more from Intersil:

Don,

We are sorry but what FAB equiptment we did not move to Florida, we
sold with the building.  The CA process was based on an old 7micron
specialized process.  So, the process is gone and is not worth the
time and 10's of millions to rebuild when today we are working with
sub micron processes.  The market size for the CA part just will not
return a profit for the cost.

As for other sources, I would start with our obsolete distributor,
Rochester Electronics [rocelec.com].  You might consider looking at
Analog Devcices [analog.com], linear Technology [ltc.com] or Maxim
[maxim-ic.com] for alternatives.
