Discrete equivalents please.

noreply@digikey.com — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 20:41:37 GMT

I need to replace 6 discretes in an audio integrated amplifier. I have used the search function at the top of the product page, but all come back with none found.

Is it possible if I supply the description (eg 2SA1048) from the Service Manual someone may be able to provide equivalents from the Digikey product range?

Programming Question

noreply@digikey.com — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 16:08:45 GMT

Could anyone give me very general idea of how elements like air conditioning controllers so the parts where in a car you setting up temperature, with led displays etc are programmed nowadays? So assuming we have a plastic panel with buttons on it, led display and what not, and when I press "+" I want temperature to be increased or some mechanical parts to take action.

I'm guessing that there is ROM and some CPU chips where software controlling the parts is stored. Now this software is usually written in Java or low level C(++?) or even lower?
Are there any libraries commonly used for this sort of thing? Or the chips come preprogrammed with these and maybe some basic operating systems?
how that chip is programmed with software? There is some sort of ROM writing device needed is that right?
is this something that would be able to play around at home via my laptop and if so what equipment I would need in addition to laptop?

Would anyone be able to point me to resources where I could read more on it? I'm trying to get general idea of how it works, how involving it is and what skills someone would need to get this working. I understand this is huge topic but want to get an idea of how this is done and even though I wont be able to do anything like that myself I would like to understand the process and what's involved

Again, if the questions and my explanation is confusing I apologise. I found it very hard to explain
