Oddly enough, I have found recently that when I request samples for
my personal stuff, they ar either not in stock, or refuesed.
When I am doing an actual project, I get them in two days.
This past week, I have received sampes from 4 seperate companies and
two sampes from one of them.
My software guy received 2 samples, and one of those was from Digi-
Key.
This product will be out before the end of April and is a fast track
project.
One my electro-pulser for my home project, I requested a pair of
samples from Maxim. It took over 6 weeks and they are so darn small,
I can't relibly use them, and would not use them in a design as I
cannot solder them.
