 Subj: MICRO-CONTROLLER PRICING      Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 Hi Anil,
    Well, if all you ever wanted was a single 6811, I suppose 37.50 is a
 pretty good price.  I have seen New Micro's ads in C.C. Ink, and
 considered it before.  However, microcontrollers are usually used for
 low-cost, low-power applications, and $37.50 per unit can really eat
 into that...although it is not that high a price, it is enough that I
 will have to think about it before designing one into a new project
   I also have been completely unable to find the power consumption
 information on the 68HC11...I can't find it in Motorola's data sheets,
 or even in the 68HC11 reference manual.  My major application requires
 very low power (solar/battery), so I must find the Icc for this part
 before I even think about using it.  Any ideas?
   Thanks for the help!
