That chip is $29,440.



And they have recently introduced a series of zener diodes for 3 cents each.

Well, welcome to the space world. These are fully-qualified rad-hard devices. Of course expensive, but nothing out of the ordinary in that world.

Hint: You won't get space qualified Zeners for 3 cents either ... add a multiplication factor of 1000.

Delta-Utec Space Research & Consultancy had attempted to avoid buying components which it has used by requesting (different) suppliers to give it gratis samples (for different parts of our system). Parasites!

Delta-Utec Space Research & Consultancy also incorrectly insisted that a gratis open-source program must do what it does not do, which Delta-Utec Space Research & Consultancy did not pay for. (S.

I once used a Maxim comparator that had a problem, something to do with ion migration. I talked to an application engineer and he sent me

1000 samples of the improved version.

The improved version had back-to-back diodes between the inputs... of a comparator!

What's the SN0144ALR-DC ? It looks like the same thing, but for $1000 instead of $51k, and not guaranteed over temperature. Is it for prototyping?
