Always buy from Farnell or RS Components now. --- End quote --- Just out of interest I bought a couple of cheap AD9220 a2d converters off Ali Express. I also got a couple of samples from Analogue Devices the manufacturer. The AD genuine one worked ok upto 10MHz. The fake part struggle from about 8MHz and was very noisy. So it seems I dont even take my own advice ! |

Best advice for Aliexpress, - Order by price - Ignore the bottom 25% That will cut out a lot of junk which is too good to be true. |

Why somebody needs to buy parts really cheap? Probably because there is a lack of income. Maybe the reason for the lack of income is using unqualified parts in the past and spending to much time on fixes. I mean there are people who started this as a student (when their work could not yet generate income) and missed to change their habits later. It's not your work to shave off some pence from a BOM or is it? I am trying to do my work instead. Regards, Dieter |
