Heroes (yawn).

No, that's the TLC274. Zeity's after the 2740

It lists the TLC2740 as a "similar part" which at least proves that it exists

But there is no datasheet available.

I also wasted best part of an hour today trying to find one, just to prove Zeity wrong. And failed.

It is useless to him without the datasheet for that specific component.

Too much like Gunsmoke in space for my taste.

It was ok.

Yeah, thought they played on the Western setting too much.

I thought that Serenity was awesome though

I had books and books of datasheets, from years ago. But I think I chucked them all out. CBA to go look

I'm hoping that Clancy Brown is in it.

Better to burn out than to fade awaaaaay.

Ramirez was an effete snob! He died on his knees. I took his head and raped his woman before his blood was even cold

TLC2740

thanks for your efforts, guys (and gals).

That's females, rather than other GALs by the way.

I don't think that datasheet is ever going to turn up.

I was only vaguely interested in what the thing was, and for two free samples, it really doesn't matter much.

It just irritated me a bit that I couldn't find any data, and now it would appear that no one else can either.

I feel better now.

Oooooom.

Worryingly, it seems that CUK is now one of the web's foremost sources of information on the elusive TLC2740

Fred: "Bill, did you put the new boy on the ceramic package printer?"

Bill: "Yes, why?"

Fred: "You do know he's dyslexic, don't you?"

Bill: "Yes, wh ... oh. Oops. How many has he cocked up?"

Fred: "Only about a gross."

Bill: "Sorry. What should we do?"

Fred: "Don't worry. I have an idea - let's turn this negative into a positive and use it as an opportunity to make Marketing look stupid."

Bill: "What are you going to do?"

Fred: "What we'll do is this..."
