I’m trying to get my hands on 5 x Burr-Brown BUF634P buffers, but there seems to be a worldwide shortage, Digikey, Mouser, RS all have them on back-order.
They are $6 a pop from the places listed above but someone on ebay wants $15ea!
Anyone have any in a draw they would like to sell me or have any suggestions where I could look?
Nothin new there - that’s why we needed a new AOUT 
If you can find them at all you’re doing well - I’d take the ebay deal.
oh dear - that’s not good news!!
does that mean the Digikey/Mouser orders will never be filled? Or should I stick some on back-order with digikey to make sure I get some when they next ship??
Probably never… They’ve all been out of stock (“backordered”… yeh right) for a long time now (a year or more perhaps). Mouser was the last to have any, and I pointed out the handful of remaining ones to someone and they didn’t last long 
If you’re really stuck, I think that alternative parts have been discussed on the forum from time to time… but AFAIK there was only discussion 
Checking the TI website shows 3 stockholders, but sadly no P variants. Could you adapt to the heavy duty or SMD versions?
See TI BUF 634 page.
Hope this helps
yah - I can work with the SMD version…
I’ll check the page and start looking right now.
Thanks Prof!
oh and that stockist is asking $30 per Chip via buy-it-now on Ebay…
mmm, it seems only the Asian supplier has them in the package I need and they only do min 100 quantity.
last thought. Is it worth having a look at BUF602 ?
