Today's and last week's lead-time e-mails show a nearly half year lead-time for one XMEGA.

Some packages aren't affected; didn't look at all XMEGA.

hmm I don't see that info on that page, I hope that the Xmega32E5 are not affected or that my board house did get the chips a couple of months ago.

Looks like there are many thousands in stock. I'm only using 1,000 for the current job and the board house had the PO a couple of months ago.

I've seen a couple of stories in the trade press recently mentioning the 'A' word.

#1 Hardware Problem? https://www.avrfreaks.net/forum/...

#2 Hardware Problem? Read AVR042.

#3 All grounds are not created equal

#4 Have you proved your chip is running at xxMHz?

#5 "If you think you need floating point to solve the problem then you don't understand the problem. If you really do need floating point then you have a problem you do not understand."

This is resolving for some XMEGA; others have a very long lead time.

That's pretty much goodnight for me! I was debating whether I should continue working but a year+ delay on getting chips pretty much seal the retirement warrant. sad

It seems there is light at the end of the tunnel, for me at least.

 

Out of Stock - Arriving Soon

Additional Stock Arriving. Order Now to Secure

14,250 can ship on 27-Sep-2021
1,250 can ship on 02-Oct-2021

Lead Time For Additional Quantities

Additional quantities can ship by 09-Sep-2022

more then 15,0000 are coming in 2 months time. Better than the 69 weeks quoted above.

Do you guys trust in all distributors pointed by Octoparts.com?

 

I had to change an entire pcb and firmware because of the lack of components

Have experience with only a few distributors at Octopart.

Rochester Electronics is well known; not surprised about a PCB respin.

Ewing Components has some though in overstock :

Is the XMega going End of Life (EOL) ??? | AVR Freaks (Rochester Electronics)
