Ordering IC Samples

Does TI offer free IC samples?

Yes, TI offers free samples for over 20,000 active devices to design engineers to support new product designs and to qualify TI products in existing designs. You can request these samples on the TI web site (www.ti.com). The list of available devices changes frequently as devices are added to and removed from the program.

Most TI devices are available in multiple packages and temperature options. The TI Store offers some but not all of these options. If you need other options not available from the TI Store, you can contact one of our authorized distributors.

Why can’t I use my free or personal email address to order IC samples?

TI provides sample ICs to design engineers to support new product designs and to qualify TI products in existing designs. Due to the high cost of a sample program like TI’s, we require complete contact information using a corporate (.com) or educational (.edu or .ac) email domain as well as full shipping information.
