Thanks, that's what I was hoping.

Just checked and JLCPCB doesn't have any in stock. They don't have any other I2C accelerator chips (that I can see). Now I understand the gripes on the interwebs about the cost of this chip.

I can get it by JLCPCB's global purchase program, but I won't be paying that "JLCPCB price".


And it doesn't exist in DIP format, so I can't do a quickie test.
