I had totally forgotten about that.

Cool.  The reason I was asking is I've been burnt in the past by companies
"second sourcing" parts for another company by simply buying wafers and doing
their own packaging to get around miltary dual-source requirements. And if
that was the case I didnt know how long the supply would last...

I'm still kinda torn in this application between using SA57x and using THAT
parts.  Board footprint is smaller with the OnSemi stuff, but the THAT parts
have much better specs.

Thanks!
