Yea, but just try to get some. It took me over three months to get 18 of
the things from a local distributor. I tried everyplace I could think
of (major firms [ie. Hallmark, Hamilton, Arrow, etc]) and they all quoted
lead times of 12 to 16 weeks from TI. It seems that everybody is using this
chip and there just aren't any around. It's a great chip, but if you
can't reliably get it what doog is it ???
