Asian SMPS ICs, any opinions?
(OP)
Hi all,
One of our suppliers in Asia is offering us these Chinese versions of TNY and TOP SMPS switcher ICs.
Here's a pic of some samples:

I'm not sure of their reliability, since they're not listed as authorised PowerInt manufs./vendors.
Do you think we should buy them?
Any thoughts/experiences are welcome.
Thanks,
PS: Don't know if posting the vendor's link goes against the forum rules.

I can even tell you that we had a microprocessor design team that left the company and basically designed the exact, identical processor for a different company using a different chip process.
Took them a year to find the bug in their new chip that we had already fixed in the original.
