Semisouth goes Dodo ; what now ?

[Zen Mod]

now , as wrenchone sez here , Semisouth goes Dodo .


SemiSouth closure to cost Calif. firm $60 million - San Jose Mercury News


if you're having any useful info about possible ( not left-kidney-right-leg price) SIC-SIT-JFET , put it here .

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHHHHHHHH!

tea-bag do you still get your stuff?

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHHHHHHHH!

tea-bag do you still get your stuff?

I have asked my commercial source if the order is still coming.
I kind of doubt it.
However, who knows, they may be obligated to fill some orders, but in this case,
they did not take my money, so I don't think there is much traction for a small guy ordering 100.



I have asked contact at SemiSouth directly if I can get a last batch, but no reply. Might have gotten "the package" already.

F6

Real McCay , or DIY McCay ?



I believe there is plenty of A-s at ?? (meaning that I forgot which big vendor was selling them) , after we buy all Tea is having at home

Some genuinely good things get invented, then the company and/or inventor go Dodo...and there are plenty of cases...makes me wonder that at least 50% of the tech accesories would be incomprehensibly better if it wasn't the case.... sigh....

I bought some of this, to try:

Cree Power Products: Breakthrough Performance with the Industry's First SiC MOSFET

However, input capacitance is one thousand picofarad, but it is quite linear. It should work well in tandem with power pentode in my amps, let's try.

 

[Zen Mod]

SJEP isn't much less capacitive

 

[Tea-Bag]

F6

Nelson said that r100 or MOSFET for F6.
I plan on trying both. In past projects the Semisouths won to my tin ears

 

[Nelson Pass]

It's too bad. Fortunately it does not affect my projects.

 

[Zen Mod]

should we guess - you have enough SIT-1 for 500 stereo FW SIT amps .........

or 5000 .......

 

[cochleus]

I guess 5000+

 

[Nelson Pass]

I predict that long before I run out of SITs there will be some new, perhaps
more interesting devices to play with.

I predict another six figure investment and a new device designed by Mr.Pass.

Cool eh!

 

[R-K Rønningstad]

And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill

mmm, mmm, mmmm ...

Maybe some power JFETs will arrive again. I thought it was a market. If so, someone will launch new devices yet again.

Any news on what the Digital Do Main Inc. people are up to with their SIT
devices and amps?
Are they still in business?

[vdi_nenna]

That sucks. Wonder is anyone will pickup where they left off?

 

[nr12]

If you look at de.farnell.com:
Yesterday there were 494 of SJEP120R100A in stock.
Today it's just 78.

I have been told that the earthquake in Japan damaged the production line
that made 2SK77B parts and that Tokin does not plan to replace it.

This of course does not mean that Digital Do Main does not have parts, but
I haven't heard anything about them lately.
