The 2147s draw a lot more power than the 4044s
Well, there are lower consumption parts available; the Intel 2147L or
C2147AL; the AMD Am21L47. On the other hand, if you've got the
supply headroom, the 2147 is only 2 bucks and change at Arcade
Components.
But good luck finding the low-power variety.
The board I'm populating needs 64 chips, but I'm only missing six of
them. Is valid to assume that 2147s will play nicely with the existing
5257s? In that case the extra power consumption from 6 2147s is
probably not going to break the bank.
Thanks,
