CFA Calculator Comparison

The technology of the HP-12C is old enough that HP have several times wished to stop making it - by increasing the price and by introducing alternatives. Sales actually went up following one price rise, and the OmniGo 100 and 120, with a full HP-12C built into them, have been discontinued while the HP-12C continues to sell well. It is now made for HP by a subcontractor, with all the circuitry reduced to a single chip - but it is still made. In 2012, SwissMicros (aka RPN-Calc) introduced a miniature clone named DM-12CC approximating the size of an ID-1 credit card (88mm× 59mm× 7mm). It closely emulates the functionality of the original HP-12C by running the original ROM image in an emulator on an ARM Cortex-M0-based NXP LPC1114 processor. Newer DM12 models since 2013 feature a better keyboard and more RAM ( LPC1115). A DM12 Silver Edition in a titanium case is available as well. [26]
