Re:How bad can a $2.97 ADC be? by throwup238 on Tuesday October 14, 2025 @01:57PM (#45582893)
Yes, though depending on the product line it may be binned into lower quality parts first. Remember though, the marginal cost of these chips is so small the packaging is usually more expensive than the silicon. They often get tested before the wafer is even sliced up so any waste is hardly worth mentioning until you get into modern processes with large error rates and huge chips like CPUs.
