Thanks for the list of chip companies, I'll look into them.
I understand that buying chips in low quantities like 1 or 2 will make the chips more expensive, but doesn't $7.50 - $12.00 a chip sound too expensive? I can buy a phone with caller id for $10. Why should a single caller-id chip...
Because while I only want one or two now for a prototype, once I get my 'device' working, I may want to buy hundreds of thousands of units.
Thanks for the US Bid tip, I'll check them out.
I have done a web search. I cannot seem to find a chip that is not obsolete. I saw several references to a Motorola chip that is obsolete. I saw a chip listed for Mitel I believe it was but couldn't find it on their site. A lot of the articles I have seen on the web are dated around...
You are talking a good bit above my head. Lets say I want to use caller id to log all incoming calls to a computer file. I want the caller id device to be independent of the computer. I may transmit the data from the independent caller id device to a computer via a network cable using tcp/ip...
I don't want a modem chip that does caller id unless that is the only way I can get a chip that does caller id. My needs have nothing to do with a modem. Suppose you wanted to make your own caller id display unit, what chip would you get for the caller id?
Thanks.
I am looking for a current chip to do caller id. I have tried to find some but have found them to be obsolete or unavailable. I am not an electrical enginner, so plase keep phrasing very layman-like.
Where can I get the chip, and how much should I expect it to cost?
Thanks.
