another semi web site shot to hell?

Hello John,

Looking forward to it :-)

Actually that's the directory, the file is called ts951.pdf:

No idea why they named the directory 5561. The SE5561 used to be an old switch mode controller chip. Maybe someone wanted to keep a memorial for it. Or could be the trailer for the old internal four+four number scheme that many companies use in the doc center.

But look on the bright side: They don't list the package size as being between zero and half an acre.

Weird; I had to rename it from 5561.pdf. And Analog Devices file names sometimes look like

61092401AD8563_pra.pdf

and sometimes they don't.

That +/-5V supply requirement knocks out a lot of contenders.

Hello John,

Never had that happen and I look at Analog Devices a lot. If you see it again maybe try it on another PC on your network, just to see whether something is on the fritz with the browser or Acrobat. The latter would not surprise me one bit, considering that it holds the absolute record of hard crashes out here.

Hello John,

Talking about a messed up site. Shopping around for a better broadband deal I came upon this one:

Totally unusable with Mozilla here.

Yeah, voltages keep creeping down. The best chopamps are 5-volt parts, and we're running them off +-2.5 volt rails. I guess it just takes getting used to, doing ppm-level signal conditioning at +-2 volt swings.

How about this one...

no products at all! I have an AMP part number and need the datasheet, and it looks impossible to find it.

Hello John,

That's a disturbing trend these days, especially seen on Japanese sites. As if they didn't have to sell stuff anymore. But you can download all their press releases.

Surely you first needed to click on "Why We're Vital" !!!

Seesh. Talk about being vain...

A place I used to work at always started there press releases with, "FooCo, a leading supplier of essential tiddlywinx equipment to the smurferella industry, announced today that..." We internally tended to mock it, as we were neither a leading supplier nor all that horribly essential. :-)

The Japanese sites tend to make you load hundreds of pdf files to see what they have; the web pages often just list part numbers with no criterion for selection.

Actually, AMP.COM has the datasheet, but TYCO has no links that I can find to its AMP subsidiary. And the AMP site is a mess, as others have noted.

Turns out the the AMP pcb-mount D9 connector I want costs $34, and the NorComp part is $1.63. This is the garden-variety pcb mount right-angle female, but with the .590 setback dim, instead of the usual .318.

Life is strange.
