 * The day the 16 K chip becomes a &quot;jellybean&quot; part, such as the 2102, is probably about two years off.
 * 1986, Terry Costlow, "Redesign adds 2-bits worth to family of gate arrays", Electronic Design Volume 34
 * The fully static CMOS family's gate count ranges from 1 100 to 1 4,000; memory is mostly limited to 4 kbits, because at that density it becomes cheaper to implement memory with a commodity or "jelly-bean" part.

 * We refer to a machine built from these nodes as a jellybean machine because it is built with commodity part (jellybean part) technology.

 * Each MDP node is a jellybean part. It can be fabricated in the same technology used to manufacture existing commodity semiconductor parts such as DRAMs.
 * 1996, Electrical Design News
 * One lowly 1-Mbit DRAM, now considered an aging jellybean part, has more than 1 million transistors on it.

 * From my experience, the 8255 is trash; don't even attempt to use it. The newer 82C55 is a little better, but I still don't use them if possible. I've had more trouble with either flavor than I like to see in a jellybean part like a port expander.... and I'm not new to them (been cussing 'em out for as long as Intel/NEC/Oki/etc have been making them).

 * The J-Machine demonstrated the use of a jellybean part, a commodity part incorporating a processor, memory, and a fast communication interface, as a building block for computing systems

 * Manufacturers replace collections of jellybean parts with application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). These devices improve product reliability, reduce costs and power consumption, and open up board real estate to allow shrinking products or adding functionality.

 * We're heading for the day when a ADC with 130 dB dynamic range will be a jelly bean part. 5 years? 130 dB dynamic range pretty well eliminates the need for remote gain controls, and besides, the jelly bean part might have a digitally-controlled attenuator in its analog side.

 * A “jelly bean” part is one that is readily available and has been around for decades and is either directly replaceable by a part with the same part number  from a different manufacturer or is very similar to a great number of other parts from a variety of manufacturers.
