It's been a while since I've used BB parts, but man, those things have lasted a long time, even if under a new name now.
@zetasyanthis they're pretty good parts overall? like, TI parts are pretty good in general but the ones that used to be BB ones always felt extra good
kinda like how you just feel like you can trust a Fairchild part, even if they're owned by ON now

100% agree. IRF also gives me the warm fuzzies. I know if I've got one of their MOSFETs, I'm golden.
@zetasyanthis I think the corporate buyout that feels the weirdest though is either that Altera is owned by Intel now, or that Microchip bought Atmel.
though Littelfuse buying IXYS is also pretty weird considering they seem like completely unrelated companies

@zetasyanthis I don't think we've heard of adaptec!

@Felthry Used to be 3COM, might know that name from the 90s?
@Felthry For me it's the Adaptec->Microsemi->Microchip chain. Like... Microchip makes RAID controllers and PCIe switches now???
