of all the Cypress USB chips, this one seems to be the most usable of the lot. It is 
at least workable. I have noticed that on Cypress' webpage that when you try to 
access the SL811HS spec sheet it redirects you to a download pages that is a 
place  holder for the SL811HST. I wonder if they are doing a mask change or 
something. The T suffix generally referes to a 48 pin TQFP package. It m ay 
mean that the 32 pin PLCC package is no longer being offered. 

who really knows?
