I received SMD resistor networks that pack 4× 0603 × 1K into a 1206 form factor, this will help save a little room here and there. This is the kind of part that, when you start to use it, you wonder why you didn't before...

Delivery of the AT49BV162A : at last! They were worth the wait, I can proceed with the rest...

I should add pull-down resistors on the input data signals...

I'm already thinking about how I'll integrate the design in the #Discrete YASEP. The availability of a 1M×8 chip allows me to just drive the 5th segment with its own decoder, in the P1B Display page. New modes become possible since all the segments will be completely decoded! An octal mode might even be possible...
