Re: [avr-chat] AVRs in South Africa?
Rodney Arne Karlsen wrote: Hi all Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I'm kinda at my wits end. I am trying to find somewhere in South Africa, preferably in Durban, to get Atmel AVRs in a PDIP package. I contacted Arrow Altech and they only had surface mount, and EBV wanted me to buy a minimum of like 300 and even then they took a week or more to respond to my emails. Right now I am prototyping a device that we hope to produce in quantity later on but for now I can only justify buying a maximum of 10 AVRs. I'm looking for proces on the parts below. The mega8 and mega48 parts are for 2 USB-ISP units I wanna build for use in the workshop. The device I'm designing would use the ATMega324 or ATmega644 device. ATmega324PV-10PU ATmega324PV-20PU ATmega644PV-10PU ATmega644PV-20PU ATmega8L-8PC ATmega8-16PC ATmega48V-10PI ATmega48-20PI Any ideas where I can get these parts and how much they would be? If need be I'll order them from outside the country if I have to and I can get them here pretty quickly. I bypass all the idiots in Australia because they're a total pain to get parts below a minimum high MOQ. I get a lot of stuff direct from Arrow Nth America. They have a good search and online ordering function: http://www.arrownac.com/arrow Beware that the minimum order for any single part is $30 IIRC, so it might be a problem if you only need a couple each of a dozen different parts. The postage isn't cheap, so it makes sense to consolidate as many parts as possible into one order. ___ AVR-chat mailing list AVR-chat@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat
Re: [avr-chat] AVRs in South Africa?
I enquired recently at DigiKey about shipment of small quantities (to Switzerland), the reply has been: If you want to use our www.digikey.com website, you can place your parts as an order and see what the availability of parts and cost would be without really sending off your order. All parts are shipped from our warehouse in the United States and can be shipped via UPS, FedEx or DHL. Payment is done prior to the packages being sent and can be done using a major credit card or by wire transfer to our account. I hope that helps (and gives an idea on the shipment expenditure to be expected). Regards, Juergen ___ AVR-chat mailing list AVR-chat@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat

I haven't found better prices for AVR at small to medium volume. I hear their overseas surcharges are significant, but it sounds as if right now you just want to get the parts in hand quickly.

Note that there's no such thing as ATmega324PV-20PU or ATmega644PV-20PU, the 20 MHz versions are only available as non-V parts (i.e. they are not specified to work down to 1.8 V). -- cheers, Jorg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
