Hiya folks,
As most of you know, my proof of concept was finished not long ago, regarding my own boost converters.
I decided to simply use it in every one of my builds (well, as much as possible).
However, I am in lack of source for main beating heart of my drivers, the LM3410X chip itself.
So far, I have found great sources for all other components:
Schottky SMD diodes:
1N5818M SMD 1 AMP 30V SCHOTTKY DIODES Free Mailing - eBay (item 380144597969 end time Feb-25-10 21:26:15 PST)
I can order inductors needed from coilcraft for not too expensive price (I do not think they exceed $2.50 a piece),
And I am yet to see if these fit:
COILCRAFT 33UH SMD INDUCTORS (50 pcs) - eBay (item 180260843151 end time Mar-24-10 22:23:02 PDT)
And I have whole bunch of resistors and SMD caps needed.
However, finding a decent distributor sucks big time, when it comes to 3410.
Not a single offer on 3410 on ebay, what.so.ever
I have gone through every one of offered distributors of National,
Digikey and Arrow are only ones offering 1+ pieces of distributing (all others are minimum 1000pcs reel)
Digikey wants 30$ for shipping, Arrow is out of stock.
Future electronics seems suitable, but they do not accept any kind of payment except credit card directly.
And RS electronics even have a Croatian distribution... but 26kn (5$ ) a piece is simply too much.
So!
I need help finding some LM3410X in 5 pin SOT-23 packaging, 1.6MHz ones, in quantities like, 10 pcs at a time, with reasonable pricing.
Thanks for efford in advance!
