You cannot bend a DIP or SOIC package, it will crack long before it actually bends. Perhaps you meant something else? --- End quote --- No, I'm trying to find these chips in boxes now, I'll find them and take a photo. I can wrap them like hot chocolate. LM339, should be TI, but I don't remember exactly. --- End quote --- OK I think I understand now. Plastic of the case behaves like thermoplastic, getting soft.. Yes if you have that, those are very fake chips. I assure you that original chips by any real factory is made from different material that will not behave like that. Not only TI , but any real factory even from third world countries. |

My go to is a Schmitt trigger oscillator. Here's an example of one I simulated, to test this simplest model I could come up with for an open collector comparator. The LED should flash at about 1Hz. You could build 4 to test your LM239. |

I would like to determine the leakage of 1 MOhm between arbitrary points of 4 comparators, I will try. --- Quote from: 2N3055 on January 08, 2025, 08:22:27 pm ---OK I think I understand now. ... --- End quote --- I haven't found the chips themselves yet, but I did find a photo of me soldering the LM339. When I find the chips, the markings will be clearly visible. |
