content: Update:Find attached my current highest estimate of cost, i don't expect it to change much, except if fedex tackles extra charges. I've included a table with the estimated cost if you buy directly from AD yourself in your country, and the amount you save on the group buy. I've included a 2€ per chip donation that will be used towards a chip for me. Shipping is by registered mail, 3 day delivery in most countries. Shipping might go down a little if the package weighs less than 250g, currently i've no idea of how much it weighs.If you want to remove your interest don't add a new post, please edit/erase the one you made.

content: Hello,This group buy is gettingmuchlarger than anticipated, I would like to get some clarification/opinions on payment methods, so I don't get stuck with orders from people that are not comfortable with the payment method.I don't want to receive payments until order is confirmed. Once I receive it I will post pictures of the package and contents from AD as proof that they were indeed ordered.1 - I prefer to receive payments with bank transfer (no costs to either party)2 - Transferwise transfer (no cost to either party, and it's the account where the currency conversion will happen, so better for me)3 - Cash on delivery for an extra 9,78€.4 - Paypal personal transfer(no fees)5 - Paypal (CC or buyer protection), will incur costs to me from 1,2%+0,35€ to 2,90%+0,35€, depending on how you send, but I haven't received commercial payments on PayPal in >10years, so I don't know. As you must understand, if you choose to pay using PayPal with credit card and/or buyer protection, to me makes no difference, as long as I receive the agreed amount, the only way (I see) to use those options is to make two payments, one for the order, and then one as personal transfer(no fees) for whatever amount PayPal deducted on the first.As usual, to make it easier for me, if you are ordering please edit your original comment with preferred method, if you just want to comment/make suggestions do so as a new reply at the end of the page.Best Regards

content: Well,AD Germany office says they are only allowed to sell to VAT registered companies, and that I should contact my local sales office, my private VAT number was not accepted.I've sent an email to the local sales office ARROW, and see what happens there. I'm going to ask AD Germany if they can ship DPD and have fedex collect the VAT, mentioning the group buy and that according to Rui Zhou or Carlos Sanchez the parts should be available to individuals.Since quarks mentioned in a post that there were timezone delays, i'm guessing he's dealing with AD USA and they are supposed to be working on a solution too.

content: So AD Germany refunded my card and made no mention that they did so or had canceled the order.Arrow.com emails bounced both from the contact form, and the one given on the phone by a sales representative, the online chat (bot) said "we only have a datasheet and if you do want the part it's 16 weeks delivery time"Today i got hold of a human at the portuguese branch of Arrow, and she confirmed 10 available, the rest to be ordered from the manufacturer, i expect a quotation tomorrow.And i hope no one has given up yet, as i requested a quote for the 80 unitsFingers crossed.

Whatever answer comes from them will be my final attempt. I don't like this situation, people pledged weeks ago and might have changed their minds in the meantime, then I would be stuck with expensive parts.I apologize to those who are waiting, but the distributors keep me waiting too.

content: Mouser:Quote received:"Restricted Availability: This part number is not currently available from Mouser. Product may be in limited distribution or a factory special order."I mentioned every time, next to the part number that it was "special order part from ADI"Arrow Portugal:Purchase blocked once again by ADI, requiring the following information:Name of projectDescription of projectAnnual qtyWho is designing (it's suspect for an individual or a group to be ordering so many not for production)Yes, along the process I've provided this info in bits, the names of the ADI guys from the MM2021 to contact for info, etc., but now it has to be provided in this form.VAT issue is not clear, apparently I might be issued an invoice from Spain without VAT ("intra-comunitary purchase invoice doesn't have VAT", does any of you know about this?) After consultation with national authorities, it's the company that didn't charge for it that's in trouble, and there is no way for me to enter it anyway. At this point I don't care if either ARROW Spain or ADI is fined.I'm 99% tired of this.So if one of you(or a bunch) can provide anicereply that will satisfy the ADI machine, I will copy/paste send whatever is agreed here by Monday 25 9.00 CESTOtherwise I will just cancel the group buy.Best Regards

content: Hello Voltnuts,I received following communication from the ADI product marketing team in USA responsible for the ADR1000 release - In a nutshell they made following communication:The ADR1000 will become available through various sales channels (Digikey - Mouser- Arrow) and an EV-board is in progress - but due to other related product releases (ADR100x) - with higher priority - this process is rolling out more slowly than anticipated - some patience is needed before this part will be available through your preferred distributor sales channel ...The fact that Digikey and Mouser were mentioned means that for Voltnuts it will be much easier to order these parts in smaller quantitities & w/o VAT reg. hurdlesThe ADI product marketing team is hoping to ‘release’ this part on the web by end of year.Best regardsScoobyDoo

Therefore, regretfully I'm going to have to cancel the group buy.I expect you to be asas me, but hey, it's them who put the obstacles.Best RegardsYetAnotherTechie

content: Hello YetAnotherTechie,it was very noble from You to undertake this initiative ... - however the real VoltNuts will have to wait until ADI has released an evaluation board for ADR1000 and that will be used to promote the ADR1000 through sales channels of Digikey - Mouser (and Arrow).It is a well known fact that also private customers can order from Digikey - Mouser without need of VAT reg. number - they will just charge you to pay (VAT) upfront.ADI informed me that the ADR1000 should be orderable from Mouser & Digikey at the end of this year - if no further hurdles pop up.Best regardsScoobyDoo

I would say there will be an EMI problem. It's variable freq. flyback and I'd guess under 100kHz with no datasheet info about the isolation capacitance. There are these things called ferrite beads, CM chokes necessary but even then, the 20 pin LCC package is not great despite the high price.Most of us would like something that performs to its best, over being small and cute with extra marketing. What's wrong with Club TO-99? Great package. It solders better than a through-hole SMA lol.
