vaxquis added NXP again due to the fact you actually *can* sample from them from time to time

-The de-facto standard for annoying microcontroller design. Regardless, it's up there with the 8051 and AVR in popularity. It seems like you can get their more popular <$5 microcontrollers sampled. Also, of course, are their little eeprom memory chips, mid-freq RF chips and '​analog glue.' According to their [[http://sample.microchip.com/​FAQ.aspx|FAQ]] (link is dead), you can get 3 of 4 different parts, twice a month, shipped via 3-day.+The de-facto standard for annoying microcontroller design.

->Just received 150 SMD logic gates. It took them a while, and also a local distributor called me with "​please meet me and talk about the project"​ after sending the request, but they came, shipped with DHL.+>Just received 150 SMD logic gates.
