Hi I am looking for a replacement STi5508FVC DVB IC to replace a damaged
one...plz email me at k_xela@hotmail.com if you have some available with
price/delivery info. also does anyone have the jtag pinout for this device?
thanks

    I am currently involved in a project that requires me to know the
offset of one vehicle's centerline from that of another, leading
vehicle.  My solution to this problem is to try to employ something
vaguely (very, evidently) to the Instrument Landing Sytem used by

To make a non-volatile software programmable DIP switch. Anyone? Like
those non-volatile digital potentiometers.
Thanks,

I am currently working on a project that need to convert some
asynchronous and digital data from a serial port of a computer into
synchronous RF data.  In order to do this, I will need a buffer to
store the digital data prior to process it.  The buffer need to be

I have an OLED module hanging around that connects via a 30-pin FFC
(Flex Flat Cable, or Flex Film Connector, as many manufacturers call
it) and I'd love to experiment with it before doing any PCB work.
Does anyone know of a connector (I need both 10-pin and 30-pin) that

Does anyone have a spreadsheet/program I could use to calculate reliability
of a circuit i.e. using say MIL-HDBK-217, rather than typing it all in from
the manual?
Or a suggestion of a "low cost" package?

Dear group,
I'm tinkering with a constant current driver and found the LM338 to be
what I need (up to 5A and 32V). Now I'd like to have a similar IC with
higher voltage specs, but I can't find the right thing on the net.

I was wondering what effect direct or alternating current would have on the
chip that is used to maintain the state of data stored on a USB flash drive.
Could any forensic process recover data after the device was plugged into a
wall outlet? A 9V battery?

I've been searching the net and can't find anything definite, but I am
having problems controlling my stereo (actually a Logitech speaker
system with an infrared remote) due to where I have the control box
located. I would like to remove the IR sensor led from the control box

Any equivalent to MAX130 for driving Led Segment Displays?
It hasthe Ref High, Ref Low, Input High, Input Low, and Common - inputs.
******MANY THANKS******

I just bought this thinger:

Has anyone here played around with one? I was thinking that with a copy of

Dear Sir,
i am sorry.. now am slightly changing th question as am planning to
use a microcontroller..
  I had a small query which i thought i would ask you. can you please

Trying to repair display/electronics card in Miele microwave oven,
cirka 1990 (it's custom built into kitchen panel, so I prefer keeping
it if it's possible).
I have this shorted diode, it's part of the power supply to the card:

I'm trying to create an audio line-output from a Texas instruments
"Speak & Spell compact" (educational talking toy) from the 80s which

I´m looking for ceramic surface mount capacitor..., but when i consult
some catalogs, i find that there is a "type"..., something like: NP0,
X7R, Y5V.......
Someone  knows what´s the meaning of this "types"?, how could
