Hey, I was just wondering if it would be possible to put el2001 buffers into a pimeta, and how would I go about doing that?

Thanks in advance. =)

Only if you want it to spontaneously combust!

Seriously, I don't know...

hahaha.

well i think some people put 634s into meta42s after the 2001s were discontinued, and I've read that some people made 634 to 2001 adaptors, so i assume it would be possible to go backwards

I think Sijosae made some adaptors to use opamps instead of buffers and other pinout changes. Basically, he took two DIP-8 sockets and connected the relevant pins between them. You end up with another plug-in socket, as long as you don't mind a couple of extra connections.

You'd also need to add the equivalent of R7 on the META42. The BUF634 doesn't need additional resistance here, but the EL2001 does.

Hey, does anyone happen to have the data sheet for the el2001? I can't seem to find it anywhere. It's not on the elantec/intersil website. Due to it being discontinued, i assume.

Someone should host the el200x datasheets somewhere for future reference.

thanks again.

edit: ok, with a bit of creative searching i found the el2001 datasheet. it actually is on the intersil website, although they do not provide a direct link to it. =P I also went through and collected the other el2002, el2008, and el2009 datasheets for reference sake, in case anyone else wants them.

another sidenote on data sheets.
http://smartdata.usbid.com/ has obsolete data sheets. And Intersil was very quick to respond to my request for a data sheet too. (I used their "ask our staff" link). data sheets are good to read.
