Can you test just one and let us know if they are real?

Thanks

Are you totally clueless? Or are you attempting to bluff your way through PCB design without reading anything in these forums?!!

Interesting, why would I try to bluff anything? I dont understand your comments. Its very simple to test a single chip just because its screen printed with a logo doesnt mean its authentic. It was a simple question if someone had purchased chips from the Alibaba supplier and got one working. Microchip and many other manufactures will produce screen printed semicustom devices in the same package for a small charge with a logo printed on it. I was also a hardware engineer for Cadence Design Systems in San Jose we did lots of ground up semicustom designs all the time.

So can you explain to me why I am clueless?

Well you've either not read anything on this forum, or done any research, or you would know whether;

1) An Alibaba supplier exists.
2) Whether those chips are real.
3) Why no one's reselling you 100 Avalon Chips.
4) Why no one is going to resell you 100 Avalon Chips.

It's quite rude to presume other people should and will do your own legwork. Search for yourself, read and do your own research. There's tonnes of threads on these very subjects.

If the Alibaba supplier is real and the devices are Avalon Spec chips why wouldn't they sell me 100 of them?
I understand they are a high price but for the purposes of testing we might buy them, so what is your point?
