status: NOT AVAILABLE

ATtiny10, ATtiny9, ATtiny5, ATtiny4 none of them are available from
stock or in quantity less than 5000 pieces.

this is what i know today, thats the reason i asked :)

i hope the status will change one day, but currently it is as it is :(

jg you did refer to 128ms Tout, right?

Why must it be an AVR, is my question? Atmel is notorious for this
sort of thing. Sometimes it is because they plan to introduce a
replacement part, sometimes it is not.

I like AVRs too, but for applications in the tinytiny space, I find
Microchip to be in the same price range or more usually cheaper, and I
can overcome my distaste of the PIC architecture long enough to design
them in...

reason 1:

I DO NOT LIKE HIGH VOLTAGE programming IC's (6 pin PICs all are..)

Fair enough. MSP430F2001, $0.39 in sufficient quantity...

MSP430F2001 QFN16 but 4x4 mm !! :(
ATtiny13A 3x3 mm + has self programming capability price about the
same
