but what i really need is it to be available in surface mount. and at a bit lower of a cost...
Basically what i need to do is play a short (pre-recorded) sound when a button is pressed. At a MUCH lower cost, and surface mount. (might need to make a few of these)
and actually, it'd be nice if it operated on a lower voltage (3v would be great). but this is not a necessity as of right now.
Winbond sold(?) Cipcorders to Nuvotron Technology. They do have surface mount chips: **broken link removed**
A list of their distributors: **broken link removed**
haha! thank you HarveyH42! i think that might work nicely.
and thank you KMoffet and GonzoEngineer for the name ChipCorder! i think i'll use one of those saw things to prototype my project, and if i have to i'll use the nuvoton chips if the prototype works out.
yeah... i've got a product idea, and just wanted to play around before i said anything. i've seen how some of these guy's ideas get ripped apart on the forum and i wish to avoid that. hope that makes sense...
