Hi,
Does anyone know if 74HC595N can be replaced by 75HC595? One of my ICs heats up like crazy and my x0xb0x won't produce sounds. I can't find a 74HC595 for a reasonable price in England, but the guy at Maplin told me to order a 75HC595, which they sell very cheap. Any thoughts? Cheers

I have a few in the US that I could send if you PM me your info

I have a question about the USB interface chip in the official parts list. According to Mouser the FT232BM is obsolete. They suggest the FT232BL as a "similar product." Has anyone verified that it will work as a drop-in replacement?

[niksun]

The replacement is fine. Take a look at this post.

Hi everybody,
About usb chip do you think that's possible to replace Ft232BL by TUSB3410IVF or TUSB3410VF ?? it's coming from Texas Instruments !!
Thanks.

even tho the FT232BM has been improved upon with the FT232RL its still available and the I/O board is designed for it

Sanyo JC546 as a replacement for 2sc536-f ? ? ?

http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheets_pdf/J/C/5/4/JC546.shtml

it's got the right pin out, anyone got any ideas on this one ?

came up as a replacement when i was doing a search

2sc536 datasheet: http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheets_pdf/2/S/C/5/2SC536N.shtml

don't know enough to compare them

[Gaetano]

They should be similar, the 536N is a higher rated voltage, than the original 536F, from memory:

VCBO VCEO

536F 40v 30v <- from memory

536N 60v 50v <- from your datasheet


Try them out, they won't do any damage, they may just sound different, they have the same pinout, so they'll drop straight in

Does a LM78M05CT work instead of a MC78M05CT ? from mouser?

Theres a 0.5amp less difference.

cheers

[adafruit]

its fine

Can transistors 2SC536F be replaced with 2SC536 ? Not sure whether the (F)suffix matters?

Cheers

I'm using some very nice 4-turn trimmers for my x0xi0 mod for VCO Tune and Width adjustements. I'm using them because it has two VCO's and it's more critical to have fine adjustments but I have also found it can be hard to get an exact setting with the single turn trimmers in the stock x0xb0x (or TB-303 for that matter). The part is also a standard drop-in replacement. They're not cheap but well worth it....

Digikey Part #'s
3339P-503LF-ND
3339P-502LF-ND

Mouser Part #'s
652-3339P-1-503LF
652-3339P-1-502LF

(they're significantly cheaper at Digikey)

They are not half expensive

These 12 turn fit and are a LOT cheaper

Mouser Part#
81-PV37W502C01B00 for the 5k
81-PV37W202C01B00 for the 2k
81-PV37W503C01B00 for the 500k

I included the trim for the 5.333v because its just as important.

Its just not worth using the single turns.

update;
These 12 turn trims are really small and they fit perfectly .
The larger type also fit but these fit better.

The Alps RK09D1130A0S (available at Mouser) has been suggested previously as a replacement for the Panasonic EVU-F2LFL3B54 (aka P3K1503-ND @ Digikey)

Any idea if an Alps RK12L12C0A0H will replace the Panasonic EVU-F2LFL3B54? I just ordered some to try out but thought I'd ask in case anyone has tried already.

[textile]

Well they both are linear and the right size , there might be something I can't see. Mouser are out of stock at the moment, but it looks like a better option due to the fact that the trimming of the shaft won't be needed and that most of the order (for me) comes from mouser.
