MCU, DSP or FPGA? Understand the Device Before Listing Surplus

An MCU typically runs control software, a DSP targets digital signal processing, and programmable logic can configure hardware datapaths. These roles overlap, so classify stock using the exact part and manufacturer documentation.

Op Amp, ADC and DAC: A Practical Guide to Analog Signal-Chain ICs

An amplifier conditions an analog signal, an ADC converts an analog input into a digital representation, and a DAC produces an analog output from digital codes. List these categories separately when preparing ADI or TI surplus.

MOSFET, IGBT or Gate Driver? Sort Power-Semiconductor Stock Clearly

Power switches control the main power path; gate-driver ICs translate control commands into suitable gate drive. MOSFETs, IGBTs, drivers and power modules should not be merged into a single inventory item.

MSL, Dry Packs and Date Codes: Reading Semiconductor Storage Records

A date code, storage shelf life and floor life after opening describe different information. Assess IC stock using its MSL, seal condition, opening history and actual storage conditions together.

How to Sell Branded IC Surplus: Analog, Power, MCU and FPGA Lists

Start a branded IC sale by separating manufacturer, full ordering code, lot and condition. TI, ADI, ST, NXP, Infineon and FPGA stock need different review details; a generic description is insufficient.

Selling TI Surplus: Preparing Power, Analog and Interface IC Lots

Assess TI power, analog and interface surplus using full ordering codes, packaging labels, lots and source records. A shared base part number does not establish the same package, packing or transaction terms.
