[...]I've got you very beat on chip count but mine are higher level chips.
See my post elsewhere in this thread.
How about comparing solutions on the basis of equivalent number of
gates? Obviously an ASIC could be built to do this job, but the
puzzle, as an intellectual exercise, is more interesting if you place
complexity limitations on the solution.
(For a practical solution I would just program a PIC.)
A PIC has a really huge number of gates inside. Personally, I'd more
likely put it into a CMOS 22V10. Both you and my practical solutions
contain more logic than the ones we are comparing.
A real contest would be to do it in terms of transistors.
