IC Sourcing the Easy Way

Submitted by John Sern
Sun, 8 Feb 2009

The process of finding, evaluating and cross-referencing integrated circuits is what is known today as IC sourcing. Even though this process sounds like a piece of cake, the truth of the matter is that finding the appropriate electronic component or integrated circuit can be a total nightmare if you don't have the proper set of online resources bookmarked on your browser or if you don't have any idea where to get the components in the first place.

The first obstacle that you will stumble upon when searching for your electronics and integrated circuits online is that many consumer items already have the set of numbers and letters which matches the component you are looking for, so after a few hours of online browsing you might feel that you have hit a dead end.

The best way to find what you're looking for is to get specific, especially when you're using search engines; this means that if you have an IC part number BZX84C5V1-V it is important that you enter the keywords: integrated circuit, electronic component or the specific key term associated with your search. Another piece of information that comes in handy when looking for specific parts is to know or have an idea of the name of the manufacturer who produces the IC you are looking for, so if you know Vishay Signal & Small Opto Products are two manufacturers who produce the IC you are looking for then try to get those names in the search query.

An online resource that can definitely come in handy when looking for specific parts is called "Partmango" - this site is an industry-specific database of integrated circuits and components that filters out all the web noise and allows you to find the part you are looking for, moreover; it also references data sheets associated with each IC or semiconductor.

The most obvious advantage of such online databases is that when you look for an IC or semiconductor you are very likely to find the exact item instead of finding a random MP3 player or electronic device that just happens to have the same name of the part you are looking for. Yet another advantage of using Partmango's database is that you're able to get an accurate description, price and quantity each manufacturer has in store, which is information referenced for each part and can obviously make your life a whole lot easier, especially when it comes to the sometimes tedious job of IC sourcing.

So whether you are a technician developing a biomedical circuitry, a military intelligence device or are just making your own robotics idea come to life the most important aspect that has to be met when searching for ICs is that you get accurate and up-to-date information which is why it is encouraged to use specialized online databases that are able to provide content rich information according to your query and direct manufacturer references which is ultimately how IC sourcing is done the easy way.
