I've had a request to quote the design of a pin-for-pin replacement of

Not being on the buying side of such stuff, is this really a
hard-to-get part?

It's not a terribly difficult thing to design (I did the ON-Semi re-do
of the 4051-52-53 series many years ago), but I'm suspicious that I'm
being used as a price-reduction tool :-)

Not if you get paid for your time in preparing a quote.
