[sdiy] Buying directly from Texas Instruments

[Mike Bryant]

Yes I use them all the time.  Delivery times can be a bit random, but generally good service.   The parts seem to come from random places which may explain the variable timing.

Only bad point is they still insist on charging me for one-off samples whereas ST don't.

Hello SDIY team,

I'm in the market for various ICs, and a recent visit to Octopart.com suggested that I could buy directly from Texas Instruments.  Looking at their website, it would appear as if their prices are very competitive with the lowest prices I'm finding anywhere else.

I'm just wondering, have any of you ever ordered directly from TI, and if so, was it a good experience?

Cheers,
Dave Dixon
