- Have you had a look at the Altera EP series EPLD's? They claim 15mA max on
- devices (even the EP910 40 pin device). I've used them and measured only
- around 8mA running on some circuits. Also the Texas TIC PALs are low power.
- Ulimately it will depend on the size and speed requirements of the logic.
