New DC-DC converters are out. Which one?

Post by Mikeyman64 »

Edit by vskid: Do not order this. Read the thread first.

So TI has release their new DualCool DC-DC converters, and I just so happen to have enough money to start my next project: my N64p. :D

So my question is, which of these free samples TI is giving out would be the best choice?

Did you even read the datasheet? It's just a power switching transistor. You need to build the rest of the regulator yourself.

I know man, it really angers me when these people order three regulators and then dont even use two of them.

*****Its not a free-for-all.*******

These aren't even regulators. You just ordered MOSFETS in an impossible-to-solder surface mount package. enjoy your fail.

Also if they are giving you the option to NOT choose overnight shipping, then why the ben heck are you choosing it? Are you a real company? You have deadline? Im surprised that TI still offers free shipping on their dc-dc converter samples. Do you know how much this crap actually costs?

If you guys are gonna be so, seemingly, enraged about this, just lock/remove the damn thread. It was an honest mistake (one which I caught before I made it), and that's that.


Btw, timmeh87: one of the options on TI's order form, under what kind of reorders you might make in the future, there an option labeled something like "0 - school/university project". So they obviously don't mind letting out a few samples for kids that need them. Now, why someone would order overnight shipping, I don't know.
