you have to buy white van parts or salvage them, even if you win the lottery you still have to buy the ticket.

How can I order free databook of their products from Texas Instrument..?? ???
Do you know any company from where I can order free databook ? ???
PLZ help me :'(

 

[STATE_MACHINE]

TI:  > Regret to inform they cannot send me samples.  Might be because my email address is not corporate???  No reason was given.

Fairchild:  Waiting... they said it will be shipped

Maxim/Dallas:  Got an email confirmation, the parts will be shipped except one they did not have in stock.

Yay!  This is fun!

Going to be trying these next!

Does anyone know of anyone gives free samples on transistors as well?

I am in need of some 2N3904/3906 or BC547/557, and buying them would cost me way too much, since the shops charges insane prices to ship it to me  :'(

Wow, there're a few new ones I haven't sampled yet.  As always I re-enter my name in the company field (I keep good company).  My title describes what I do in my free time.  One wanted more than one line of street address, so I specified my brewing shed.  I will find out soon enough.

 

[Roomi]

Hey Ldanielrosa,
      Please mention the new ones here. Also post the succeeded company.

 

[arsal_uet]

like free chips is there any way to get free software cd's?

 

[MP1]

Hi Arsal,
Do you mean freeware? If so, try www.download.com
There are lots of freeware sites that have software that is free of charge. This is only one of the many.
If you mean duplication of copyrighted software, these cannot be posted to this site.

Hello Roomi.  There were a few mentioned by you and STATE_MACHINE that I had not known.  It will take some time considering the season and road damage in my area.  I will let you know when I find out.

 

[Roomi]

hi STATE_MACHINE,
      U have tried atmel for sample. have u succeeded ?

 

[Ldanielrosa1]

You are asking STATE_MACHINE, but I will tell you my experience.  Samples I have requested from Texas Instruments, Maxim, Analog Devices, MIcrochip and Allegro have been shipped to me without complication.  Some of the items I requested from TI were rather expensive.

I have requested samples from Fairchild and National, and received them with some complication.  Now I only ask them for items nobody else has.

The requests submitted to Atmel, Ramtron, Microsemi (two years ago, I'm trying again), Sensirion, and two others I don't remember the names of, were all ignored or denied.

Hi LdnlRosa,
  I am succeded with MAXIM, TI but did not succeded with NS, Analog ,Microchip. When i order from Microchip and Anlog they tell me to contact with the neighbourhood country sales office.

Please mention some interesting and useful chips from MAXIM and Allegro.

Does any company sends microcontroller samples ? ??? ???

 

[Ldanielrosa1]

Maxim:  digital pots, I/O expanders, real time clocks, nonvolatile memories, temperature sensors, LED drivers, switching regulators, voltage references, rs-2322 interface...

Allegro: hall sensors, current sensors

 

[Roomi]

Thnks Ldanielrosa . But I wanted part number not catagory....

Mention if possible.. :-\ :-\

 

[Roomi]

I didn't find any sample form for allegro. There product page contains sample button for which only one sample(that product) can be ordered at a time. But I want to order 5 parts at a time. What can I do ?? ???
