Title: buying ICs from China
Post by: mordechai on December 23, 2014, 08:12:00 AM
There's a source in China that is offering to sell versions of the TLC2262CP and TLE2072CP chips for pretty cheap.  Would these be dependable and up to the specs of versions of these chips from, say, Texas Instruments?  Or would they cause or have problems?  The price **seems** too good to be true...

If it seems too good to be true it probably is, fakes and out of spec parts are rife.
