Thanks gents...but I'm talking in industrial quantities for a client, generally 10,000+. Ordering through a distributor (RS, Farnell, etc.) generally makes them a lot more expensive, it's better to go to the manufacturer direct and/or a second-source supplier. For the TLxx series, Texas, second-sourced by STM.
The likes of RS etc. are fine when developing prototypes or a limited 'pilot run' of say 25 units, after that you go to the source direct.
Perhaps my previous posting was out of context, I should have mentioned the quantities required...but even in small quantities there still are delays...
