WTB: Potato Semi PO74G374

[Dimdim]

I'm looking to buy about 10-15 PO74G374 flip-flop ICs.

I used to be able to get them from Potato Semi's Ebay store but they've stopped shipping outside of the US.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They list many distributors on their website, maybe try one of them?

 

[Dimdim]

I already tried the one listed for Greece, plus a couple more e-shops that were supposed to stock it. I got no replies.

Wow, hadn't heard of them and their product before. Are they for real? The company name and the spelling in this press release raise some doubts:
Potato Semiconductor press06

 

[Dimdim]

Yes, they are quite real and their products are best-in-class. Many of us have used their flip-flops to do reclocking of I2S lines over the years. For example, Ian's FIFO uses them.

I'm in the exact same situation... contacted them by ebay and never got a reply. I was planning to go for the dual FF 74VHC74 which is a 125MHz part at 3.3V to reclock BClk and LRclk of my Amanero. You have also the picogate single FF among others (have them in my mouser account), but they are small. Please keep us updated about your final solution.

They have good feedback on their ebay store, and delivery as recent as a few days ago...... a friend has tried buying some but with no luck.

 

[Dimdim]

I have learned that unfortunately Potato Semi is out of business.

We'll have to find alternative solutions.

 

[woodturner-fran]

I have completed a purchase on ebay using a freight forwarding address - lets see what happens next......

 

[daansan]

Any luck with this? I also wanted a bunch of their IC’s but am also not getting a response on ebay.

Have you found any alternatives DimDim?

 

[woodturner-fran]

I bought some in February - took over a month for it to go from CA to the freight forwarder I used in NY and 5 days to cross the Atlantic.

I think its a dead duck. Another friend here did the same and his packet never even got to the freight forwarder. We both used this because he wouldn't ship to Europe. Such a pity but its not worth it.

 

[Dimdim]

It looks like Potato Semi is alive and well, happily shipping chips to the USA, but not to the rest of the world.

I've managed to order a bunch of chips through a friend located in the USA.

 

[InspectorGadget]

Ahh, I wondered about them. I may have to ask a friend over there to send me some.

 

[mareli]

Which supplier did you use in USA?

 

[Dimdim]

Potato semi's official Ebay store.

 

[mareli]

Id doesn't exist on ebay

 

[Dimdim]

I think that it is only visible from within the USA. I too couldn't see it, but my friend was able to see it and order chips with no problem.

 

[mareli]

I used a VPN to connect to USA server and still can't find their store.

 

[wealas]

You don't need VPN, just have to make sure you're using the .com and not .ca site and have your ship to location set to some US zip code. However, they have nothing for sale at this time: potatosemi on eBay
