The Great Search – Replacement for APX803 Auto-Reset Supervisor @adafruit @digikey #deskofladyada #thegreatsearch
The Great Search (video) is a new series of videos focused on searching the Digi-Key catalog to narrow down to the parts you want to buy. This week: https://www.digikey.com/short/r07ph903
Much like the post-recession months after 2008, we’re in the midst of a bit of a component squeeze. Chances are you’ve been warned by your suppliers that many parts are in short supply, and lead times have stretched into the many-months or even a year! Here at The Great Search we feel ya, we’ve seen many components evaporate. Parts that were discontinued-but-still-available are now ‘really really discontinued’ But no worries, with a little search-skills we’re often able to find replacements. So it’s no surprise we’ll be doing a few ‘alternative’ search shows! This week we’re going on the hunt for a replacement to the APX803-26SAG, our favorite auto-reset supervisor – a little chip that has helped countless designs wake up cleanly. It’s no longer available, will we be able to find a drop-in replacement? Tune in to find out!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
