"I want the best money can buy, but I will not pay for it"


Erik

I do not wish to assume the intention of the original poster nor am I answering for him.

Many times, I have had the very same question in my mind. I need to build an application with 18-24 bits; which is the commonly available adc in my area. This does not mean I want the best / will not pay. There is no reason to assume so.

The reason for the question is simple. Locally, we tend to use what the crowd uses. This way, our procurement cost is low and the time to market is quick. Also, the demand-supply factor brings down the cost as the trader imports a large quantity. Another reason for this question is - when we approach a trader with a list of part numbers, often, they haven't heard of these products. So, import and associated delays come into play if you need them.

I hope this will clarify the question and do wish to know Ravi's views on this.
