I suggest you get your "consultant" to do a bit more practical
work.
Opening an 8228 will reveal hundereds of electronic components,
it is some years since I have done this but I would regard
40 pnp transistors
120 capacitors
30 coils
200+ resistors
and 80 diodes
plus of courese 8 relays an NOT "essentially passive devices"
Doesn't mean they don't work well or that your price isn't great,
just an observation on the glibness of some "experts"
