where are the parts?

ebio — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 20:14:26 GMT

I'm posting here because Sales@NXP doesn't know, and as suggested I submitted a support ticket and they don't know or can't say. The question is....

where are the parts?

we designed in a K64 in 100QFP (MK64FN1M0VLL12) and there's no availability. Apparently the part is early in its 10 year life cycle, but NXP for some reason can't tell me if they are planning to produce these any time soon. Why the secrecy? What's the holdup? Do merger woes have you down, NXP? I guess you can tell i'm frustrated, but after a long development cycle you don't want to find you can't buy a $10 microcontroller until maybe some time 4 months from now.

Arrow has 755 x MK64FN1M0VLL12 on stock for immediate delivery.

This is what I received from my main board producer two months ago - it seem that this is not necessarily an NXP problem but one of those cycles in the industry. I have placed orders for next summer already.
