Hey
There was some interest in doing a groupbuy for LM6172 IC’s
If we can get to 250 or 500 pieces, it will become interesting.
If you ordered a pcb (set) of the Triple Function Generator with me,
I can send them along without extra cost.
If not, I don’t know if the shipping cost will be too much - this will depend on how much IC’s you want. the weight…
Best option is Mouser, because they pay the taxes & shipping
Mouser price breaks:
[1:]€ 4,23[10:]€ 3,80[100:]€ 3,11[250:]€ 2,92[500:]€ 2,65[1000:]€ 2,24[2500:]€ 2,12Anyway, let’s make a list!

#2 — Agawell · 2019-07-24
I’m in
2: Agawell: 20
#3 — sean · 2019-07-24
Okay, count me in for 20.
#4 — otoskope · 2019-07-25
I have a bunch of Cadets and Castles waiting (plus just ordered your TripleFunGen) so I’d be in for 60.
#5 — Analogmonster · 2019-07-25
I need to do some BOMing first, so I will say 20 for now but perhaps more
#6 — addamm · 2019-07-25
I can safely say I’ll be in for 10 (maybe more as it comes down to it). In no hurry and will probably wait for your mixer and get the opamps, mixer, and function generator together- but happy to prepay for the group buy either way! Thanks for organizing this!
#7 — Marizu · 2019-07-25
10 for me, please. England, UK.
#8 — joem · 2019-07-25
The pricing seems to be a little better if ordered direct from TI: https://www.ti.com/store/ti/en/p/product/?p=LM6172IN/NOPB
(Though I don’t know if that holds true if ordering to Europe.)
#9 — reverselandfill · 2019-07-25
those are SMD only.
I was considering to have a footprint for those on my pcb’s. as alternative and possible cheaper solution.
but most Cadet and Castle designs don’t have 'm… and adapter boards will make 'm more expensive again …
#10 — brknfixie · 2019-07-25
I would be in for 20
#11 — Agawell · 2019-07-25
I just looked at what I’m intending to build this year - better make that 30 for me Martijn!!!
cheers
Jim
#12 — gosseyn · 2019-07-25
I’m in for 20 as well ! Thanks a lot for this Martijn
#13 — pbalj · 2019-07-25
It shows pdip when i click that page for me.
anyway, pending $$ i might be in for 100 or 200
#14 — joem · 2019-07-26
That TI link should be going to PDIP, since that’s what LM6172IN/NOPB is. For me it shows an SOIC pic, but it’s the PDIP page.
#15 — reverselandfill · 2019-07-26
aha, I see now.
the price is without taxes . when I do a test checkout, this stays the same.
There might be import taxes though. Mouser takes care of those when I order there.
shipping to NL is 7,- euro
#16 — VisibleSignals · 2019-07-28
I’d like 20 please, probably more if we can get to the 500 price break.
#17 — Vdot · 2019-07-29
I would like 20 as well. Thank you.
#18 — mwmw · 2019-07-29
I’ll go for 15 please

#19 — VanTa · 2019-07-30
10 for me as well please

#20 — reverselandfill · 2019-08-06
Ok, I think we hit the total
It would be optimal if we got to the 500 break point.
I might order some more for myself, but not 120 more. (I’m not made of gold)
For payment and shipping:
- people who also ordered a PCB set or kit with me, pay no extra shipping for the LM6172 ic’s.
- people who only order the LM6172’s, there will be added shipping.
I’ll contact everybody!
#21 — addamm · 2019-08-06
I could get 5-10 more if that helps push us over the edge. May do that anyway

#22 — DataGeneral · 2019-08-06
Little late to the game, but I’ll take 15 if it’s still possible.
#23 — brknfixie · 2019-08-07
I can get another 10 if that helps - 30 in total for me
#24 — jevergreen · 2019-08-08
So, in a way, we’ve already reached the next tier, because at this point it would be cheaper to order 500 than 460…
#25 — reverselandfill · 2019-08-08
you are right! There might be some other than want to join in via muffwiggler, so I guess it is good to go
i’ll do some maths then
#26 — addamm · 2019-08-08
An easy way to settle might be to order 500, have everyone pay at the 250 price point and maybe people can get a couple extra depending? It seems fair if @reverselandfill ends up with an extra pocket full for his trouble, too.
#27 — reverselandfill · 2019-08-08
I’ll wait a bit to see if some extra people join in. else I propose that we follow addamm’s idea
#28 — TheLoneVidiot · 2019-08-09
if these are through hole I’ll take 30
#29 — TheLoneVidiot · 2019-08-09
maybe more if the price is right
#30 — sudo · 2019-08-09
hi. i’ll take 10, if it hits 500 total keep me posted as i may take more! thank you.
#31 — Fritz · 2019-08-09
I’m in for 40
Post has to be 20 characters? There we go.
#32 — SOFEX · 2019-08-11
I’d like 20. Thanks.
#33 — Dewb · 2019-08-11
Coming in late to this, I would like 30 if it’s still open (and you’re shipping to US.). Thanks!
#34 — cinema.av · 2019-08-12
gonna go ahead and mark myself for 20 more in tandem w that function gen pcb/panel you got going to the usa.
#35 — reverselandfill · 2019-08-12
I’ll contact you all tomorrow as apparently I cannot send a lot of messages in a short time. I have to wait 22 hours now

#36 — reverselandfill · 2019-08-14

NOTICE: The pice has risen for some reason.
500+ costs are now 2,73 euro
I have ordered 1000 pieces now (for 2,30 p/p) to buffer the extra costs.
I will offer the extra LM6172’s here for the current 500+ price, so that I don’t lose money over this
so if anyone is interested in some LM6172’s : reply here!

I will have 200 in stock
2,73 euro p/p + shipping
#46 — reverselandfill · 2019-09-07
update:
the shipment is on its way to me. Planned delivery date is tuesday 10-09-19 (so next week)
#47 — reverselandfill · 2019-09-09
OK they are in!
I’m going to package them and send them all out!!
note: I’ve send out some messages to people who’s addresses are not known. please respond !
#48 — reverselandfill · 2019-09-10
A lot has shipped, see above
Note: I’ve tried my best assembling the packages. If somehow I missed something please contact me
@TheLoneVidiot : please send me your address info!
#49 — Agawell · 2019-09-12
I received mine today - including the replacement panel for the triple function generator - maybe build it this weekend then!!!
Thanks Martijn!!!
#50 — reverselandfill · 2019-09-13
everything is shipped!
There are still some LM6172’s in my stock!
#51 — Vdot · 2019-09-16
Just got mine, thanks again for making this happen @reverselandfill!
#52 — Fritz · 2019-09-20
They made it to California.
Thank you very much Martijn!
#53 — trbsnd · 2019-09-23
Hey man,
great of you to make this possible. I would like to take 20 of your stock, shipping to germany

thanks a lot
#54 — DataGeneral · 2019-09-23
Got mine. Thanks for making it happen!
#55 — trbsnd · 2019-09-26
received mine today

#56 — 337is · 2019-10-01
Mine showed up yesterday and I’m now ready to build. Thank you for arranging this!
#57 — Temp_hill · 2019-11-04
So are you still sitting on some LM6172?
If so I am interessted in buying ~20.
#58 — reverselandfill · 2019-11-04
hi Temp_hill
I only have a few left, and I have a project (the 3x3matrix mixer) coming up that needs them (for kits)
So I’m sorry to say, no…
#59 — X.Chen · 2020-01-09
Hi Martin,
I need 10,
Thanks
#60 — reverselandfill · 2020-01-09
they are all gone now.
I might order a bunch later this month. I will keep you all updated!
#61 — souka · 2020-01-14
Thinking about building some Castle series modules I was looking into some of these also. A lot if it was for the entire Castle series, and maybe a community build or something like the Triple Function Generator.
Ordering at the first price tier is prohibitively costly for me. So It would be ideal to participate in a group buy if another one were to happen.
#62 — reverselandfill · 2020-01-14
currently this is the price list at Mouser:
1: 4,36
10: 3,92
100: 3,20
250: 3,01
500: 2,73
1000: 2,30
I think my order will be around 70 to 100.for kits.
please add your amount to this thread, then we can see to what amount we can get!
reverselandfill: 140
x-chen: 10
marizu: 10
souka: 45?
temphill: 10 + 4046
trbsnd: 10
total: 225
#63 — Marizu · 2020-01-16
I’ll have 10, please.
#64 — Temp_hill · 2020-01-27
@reverselandfill What will be the estimated shipping costs in europe or to germany?
#65 — reverselandfill · 2020-01-27
depends on what type of shipping you prefer and what the weight is.
I think untracked is about 4,50 to 8 euro, depending on the weight of the package
tracked shipping ranges from 8 to 17 euro
I can weigh the LM6172’s , then you will know the estimate
10x LM6172 = about 5 gram
the box = 50 gram
packaging padding = 10 to 20 gram (I think)
so 10x LM6172 will cost 5,50 untracked, 12,50 tracked
I ship from Italy
#66 — souka · 2020-01-28
The Castle DIY series BOM, totals an amount of 29 LM6172.
For reverselandfill’s Triple Function Generator, 6 LM6172 are needed.
I’ll add two extra Castle Clock VCO, so another 4.
6 extra spares for future projects / build problems.
Total: 45 LM6172 for me.
#67 — Temp_hill · 2020-02-02
If this thread is still relevant i would take 10 LM6172.
And btw, would it be possible to order one CD4046BE IC with those 10 LM6172? I know it would be extra work for you @reverselandfill but i forgot to order one and the shipping for one single IC is to much

#68 — reverselandfill · 2020-02-04
this thead is still relevant. when I do the order, I’ll contact you all. @Temp_hill I can order a 4046 for you.
#69 — trbsnd · 2020-02-12
im in again, would need 10

#70 — reverselandfill · 2020-02-12
ok the list is updated. we are at 225 now. price mark 3,20
I’ll be ordering soon, probably next week
#71 — reverselandfill · 2020-02-14
The order is done.
We hit the 250 price mark: 3,01 euro ex VAT
When the order is delivered , I’ll contact everybody
see the other thread for more info
You can put me down for 10! > EDIT: Oh shit, wasn’t following the other thread. Is this order already spoken for?>
the group order is now closed. all are spoken for
