RS 232 chip prob

hi,

i have designed a circuit using SN65C3232DB for RS232 communication in SSOP Package, earlier i got the samples for the part from TI and i was able to test it..bt now the prob is that i need around 20 more PCs of the same, and i am not able to find any source where i can buy such low quantity at good price.

i found an alternate too which is MAX3316, bt with this part also the prob exist.

Can anyone suggest an alternate or source where i can buy this part from. one more thing i have already tried RS, farnell and conrad and my location is germany, so a source near to this part of the world will be helpful.

thanks in advance.

Re: RS 232 chip prob

try this: http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?Ref=186268&Row=75141&Site=US

anyway you can find RS232 transceivers at lowers prices made-it by ST or sipex
you can buy ST transceivers from mouser:
http://www.mouser.com/search/refine.aspx?Ntt=SP3232

check also future electronics (for sipex part): **broken link removed**

(it's around 1.2USD/pcs)

hope this helps,

PS: why did you post this question in "professsional HW& Electronic design" forum?
