Not sure where this thread should go, so I post it here.

Think I sent my info on sat, received the sample today in the mail.

Looks like they're only shipping to the USA

What type of "amplifier" did you receive? Was it an audio amplifier or one of the several other types of amplifiers they produce?

Thanks.......

It came with a small CD containing datasheets and whitepages plus a few other tools. It also included a bunch of small chips, maybe like 20-30 in total.

I have no idea what to do with this sample kit. Time to read up I guess.

Sorry for the non-US guys. They sent the kit via first class mail, so I assume it'll cost them quite a bit to send out the kits all over the world.

Do I understand correctly?
You ordered a whole kit of parts from AD's sample program
without ANY knowledge of its use - just because it was free?

Of course I won't trash the kit, we all have to start out somewhere right?

don't get too excited about this kit, most of the op amps are in unusably small ssop packages - definaitely not simple proto board fare

Aren't samples wonderful? I got 40 some Caddock TF020Rs, and a whole bunch of Vishay S102s as samples by making enough phone calls.
