The reason it burned out is it is a poor quality chip, your link is probably the same chip. I would look for a reputable supplier in your country and pay another dollar for two for a real one.

I just wired a 5v supply straight to the arduino - Initially I replaced the blown chop but, unsurprising it just blew again.
