Texas Instruments Samples
Today my order of samples from Texas Instruments arrived. Nicely packed in antistatic bags, i got the following parts:
- TAS5414A – 4-Channel Automotive Digital Amplifiers
- AMC6821 – Temperature Monitoring and Fan Control
- TPA6120A2 – High Fidelity Stereo Headphone Amplifier
- PGA4311 – 4-Channel, +/-5V Audio Volume Control
- TMP100 – Digital Temperature Sensor with I2C Serial Interface
TI, was very nice trough the delivery steps, they even gave me a call and told me that if i need support in finishing up the project i should send an email to their support and they will happily answer my questions.
I’m planing on building a nice amp with that TAS5414A, I’ll post details here, later when I’ll get started working on the amp.

Hi guys,
How can I obtain a sample of your products? What do you require from me?

Hello,
I’m also very interested in free samples from TI.
Unfortunately, i’m not a professional electronician. Amateur only.
I saw the Texas website : professional détails are asked to be registered.
Do you think i could also obtain free components and how can i do ?
Thanks.

They offer samples to support developers to lower costs on prototypes, etc. and recently they started supporting Students in their projects. If you’re in one of these categories they will sure send you samples.

you could still try and hope they’ll accept your request.

Of course, I can try. But i don’t know if i have better to lie and pretend that I’m a student or a designer. Or if I’ll don’t cheat and say the truth…
I’ll come back later to give you the end of this affair.
