Re: Unobtainium
It's got so bad that I'm even thinking of buying Microchip (Atmel) parts or NXP.
My current employer is using Microchip parts, I'm sorry to report that they too are as scarce as rocking horse poo. Probably you can get a chip from them, but one that's pin compatible with our design? Not easy. One that has the same pinout and all the features we need? even harder.
