Are duplicate ICs really exist?

When we explain customers that we only do Original and Genuine ICs, they use to ask this question. "Are duplicate ICs really exist?". Some customers might have felt that we are just lying to sell our products at high price. Some stated, this is available at this price at Pettah.
As a legitimate company TRONIC.LK (SKYTRONIC (Pvt) Ltd.) only provided original and genuine ICs and components as our aim is to become the best component sourcing company in Sri Lanka.
Here is a good example of AD633JN IC from Analog Devices. A customer who came to us showed this duplicate IC and stated as it doesn't work. Then we showed the IC we have and he was shocked. He bought that for very cheap, but he realized cheap doesn't work always.
Genuine Chip Duplicate This is just one visible example. But there are some cases which you won't be able to identify the difference. Just be aware of the product quality. Always ask the seller, the technical spec of what he is selling. If he doesn't know what he is selling, never ever buy from them. Because when you meet a problem, they will never help you out.
We are not in a race. We are not competing with anybody. But we will work harder to introduce some standard to this industry. That's why TRONIC.LK came in to existence.
