While looking for a source for the MC145170, I found that Lansdale is manufacturing many of them. But, they have a $1000 minimum. I got the following response from them: Hi David, Sorry for the delayed response to your question. First off, we recognize there is a customer base requesting smaller quantities than. At Lansdale, we have a minimum requirement of $1,000 per order. For this particular device, that equates to 435 units. To help facilitate the smaller quantities, we have been trying to engage with Digi-key but they are more focused on the newer technologies. A lot of our products have been in the industry for a long time, even though we still encourage the development of newer applications. I am trying to get Mouser and Newark to include our products in their catalog. For the interim, what volume do you require? We can support this part number, but again the minimum order would be 435 pieces. The best I can do outside of a purchase order is to supply you with 5 free samples. In order to do so, we require the following information for export control: Customer Name: End country: Application: Attached is a list of all the products we currently support that have been transferred from Motorola/Freescale. We also have a data book, or CD that contains all the data sheet information if you have an interest in these parts. I would be happy to send them if you're interested. Please let me know how you'd like to proceed. Regards, Chris Daria Marketing 2412 W.

If they see enough interest, maybe they will start carrying Lansdale IC's. Dave - WB6DHW
