Re: TI-H: General questions with a possibly big im
Grant, you can't just "use" chips like that in normal designs... It's
far above the average hobbiest, and far above most everyone in this
list, probably including you :).
Do you have any idea how many support chips such systems would
require, and the fact that they're all 0.5mm spacing packages that are
virtually impossible to solder without professional wave soldering
equipment?
Just keeping things realistic :).
