Hi,
I am wondering how it is possible to have zero stocks on every Kinetis MCU everywhere.
Do someone know how to acquire some?
Regards.
It's not just the MK64 that's out of stock - look on line at Dig-Key, Mourse and take a look at, oh, I don't know, EVERYTHING electronic is having supply issues. There is a parts crisis going on and I'm surprised that you haven't heard about it, it's been in all of the papers.
Less sarcastically, you have two options:
You're really late in the game if you're just noticing that parts are unavailble due to Covid: I highly recommend that you at least get orders in at the major distributors. You can always cancel them if you find parts that you can use elsewhere.
Let me repeat again, it's not just MCUs that is affected. I was really shocked that I also had to scramble for 3.3V LDOs, OpAmps and logic buffers; things I'd never expect to have issues getting. Take a look at your entire BoM and start buying up the parts that you need.
Good luck.
"I highly recommend that you at least get orders in at the major distributors. You can always cancel them if you find parts that you can use elsewhere. "
Actually you can't. Read the fine print from places like Arrow, the policies' have changed.
You are committed to the orders because they know everyone is doing this.
Thank you for the heads up.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I had placed an order with Mouser in July for 2k TMC2225s that were supposed to be available in November of this year but the date kept slipping (it's now March) and I cancelled it ten days ago without any issues.
Nice to see that I was lucky and got it in before the Ts & Cs changed.
Dear @myke_predko;,
Yes I am not aware of a global "crisis". I guess I was too busy working on the solution and less in this economical and political game arount COVID
"I am not sure that destroying industries because of a any disease especially for those who are making the most profit from those industries is a winning -game-"
I know that many other MCU are out of stock. The issue comes when competitors have stocks on their most popular items and NXP not.
Guess it will be better to develop on a bunch of other MCU.
Thank you for your quick answer.
Best Regards,
Robin
