68300

Motorola axed the '916Y3 that was in one client's prototype an 
another's beta-test stage sensor controller.  Needless to say, the 
clients are unhappy.

The applications require flash, tpu, adc and single chip mode.  I 
seriously prefer TQFP since I hand solder the initial boards, but a 
socket and PBGA is survivable.

The 68F375 looks ideal.  The automotive selection guide admits it 
exists and is in production.  However product cycle info is 
unavailable and of the 6 listed vendors, only Arrow admits it exists 
($62 is OK in small quantity) but has no suggested lead times.

Is anyone familiar with it, it's real status, any serious issued in 
moving from '916 to 683xx family, etc...?

I plan to use the P&E Microsystems platform, as i am using it for 
the '916Y3...
