Re: [time-nuts] PICTIC II parts from Mouser in da house!

All of the PICs I ordered came in on Friday (Mouser ships FAST!) so it's a matter of programming them and getting them out this week. Just an FYI guys, I'm leaving for southern Arizona for three weeks for work. If I don't get them out this week I will do my very best to get them out while I'm on

Here we go again! The TS272ACN has just gone 'non-stocked' at Mouser. Will the TS272CN degrade the performance? It looks like the difference between the two is the TS272CN has a higher input offset voltage. Ed ___ time-nuts mailing list --

The TS272CN is an acceptable substitute for the TS272ACN in the PICTIC II but as noted has a higher input offset voltage. This can be compensated for in the second stage by adjustment of the offset trimmer. I selected premium parts for temperature stability in the application. Sorry the

I see that the 74AC175 in the Mouser project has now morphed to a 75AC*T*175. Was that substitution intentional? I think it should be okay, just wanted to check. (What? Paranoid? Who said that?!) Ed Richard H McCorkle wrote: Time-Nuts, When the PICTIC was first developed a number of

Hi There's been a thread on the 175. It's both the wrong logic level and package. The good news is that you can buy it. The other parts are obsolete. Bob Sent from my iPhone On Jul 10, 2010, at 4:56 PM, Ed Palmer ed_pal...@sasktel.net wrote: I see that the 74AC175 in the Mouser project has

Hi Ok, I've set up a new project at Mouser for the PICTIC II parts. Assuming the magic works it's at: http://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=8736DCEE10 You can also go to their EZ Buy page and enter code 8736DCEE10 to get to the project. There are a few special

Time-Nuts, When the PICTIC was first developed a number of front-end designs were evaluated with the 74AC175 providing the best characteristics, size, and speed in a DIP format. When the PICTIC was released in 2008 the 74AC175PC was in full production, but by the time the PICTIC II with the diode

Richard, For the original circuit board, what about the 74AC175 SOIC soldered to an SOIC to DIP adapter? These adapters are available cheap on the auction site and there should be very little difference between this and the DIP version (the pinouts for both versions are the same). Would this

Hi For around $4 or so you can get a CPLD and socket that will replace all of the logic chips. They will run on +5 and go to 100 MHz. My guess is that they would be a bit more repeatable. The downside is it's another part to program. Bob Sent from my iPhone On Jul 9, 2010, at 10:02 PM,
