TPS561243: What is the catch?

Part Number: TPS561243

Tool/software:

Is the listed price of 0.054$ really correct?

For this price there must be a catch so what issues can I expect using this converter instead of all the other comparably much more expensive converters?

  • Hi Thomas,

    Maybe I am not understanding your question. Do you want to double confirm the price? It's correct as shown in ti.com. Any support need related with the device. Feel free to let us know. Thank you!

  • Hi Lucia,

    thanks for confirming the price. My question was more that with this extremely low price there must be a catch or some things I need to be aware off, why else would I choose the much more expensive types?
