nevermind1281 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I made an order for samples, I got some 555, surface mount 555, and 556 timers. What should I do with them? Anything fun to do? Anything useful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevermind1281 Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Go to the top post in this forum, it says something like "free chips". Just find what you want on the company site and order. But you need to find a button that says sample. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevermind1281 Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I used Maxim for the 555 and 556 timers. Ti also has them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allvol Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Be aware that many samples you receive these days will be in the SMD package... hard to work with unless you have magnified eyes and a steady hand - plus the special pads.AllVol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevermind1281 Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yeah, you have to make sure you know what you are getting. I got all standard ones, but on purpose I got 10 surface mount just for testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
