I am from Turkey. Even I got too much stuff for my projects when I was a student. I can easily say that Maxim-IC and Texas Instruments are the best! They really send what you need. But you can not ask for 10 pcs of the same product.

wow im from Turkey too i like those ICs but i should ask my mom and dad to get those free nasty materials :(

Why your parents? you can ask for them yourself... Just pick your order and want some samples. Piece of cake!

I tried to order free samples from fairchild and they said i need a valid corporate e-mail, probably cause its a hotmail:D. What kind of e-mail do i need and what is the easiest way to get one?

Try Shaw, that's what I use and I have never had a problem.

Aug 4, 2010. 2:37 PMrengawtm says:

what is the web address for shaw

Aug 15, 2010. 8:48 PMWesley666 says:

I dunno, try some burt_lemons@Shaw.ca, but you may want to try something other then burt_lemons...

try mail.com

Jan 24, 2009. 9:04 AMgeeklord says:

i'm pretty sure any free e-mail won't work with them.

Jan 25, 2009. 4:17 PMlittlechef37 (author) says:

then try looking for a similar part at a different supplier ?

Jan 25, 2009. 8:58 PMgeeklord says:

mmmkay

Aug 14, 2009. 7:00 PMZem says:

I set up a Gmail account specifically for getting samples, will this work?

Aug 15, 2009. 9:02 PMgeeklord says:

idk...

Got today my package from STMicroelectronics with temp and accelerometer sensors! no calls or mails!

I use Fairchild and Maxim. They both are sending me 4 or 5 chips, with no phone calls. Just look around and have a list of Maxim chips you want before getting samples from them, its the easiest way.
