The risk of running into counterfeits while > shopping for NOS KR556RT2 chips should be also really small I guess... ;-))) I found those too. One risk is that they may not be fully timing-wise equivalent (assuming that they are fully functionally equivalent), another is whether they are programmed the very same way (need to search deeper if there's a valid datasheed available somewhere) and the last (common for all, actually) is that even if counterfeiting may not be an issue, the main question is whether they're really unprogrammed. Right now I am looking for a programming option. Of course the programmer I coughed up some $s not so long ago to be able to program Atmel's GALs does not have a way to treat the chips in question. -- SD! - https://e4aws.silverdr.com/Received on 2020-05-29 22:16:26
