Bosch BNO055 chip... now not available anywhere. I inherited a design using this part and I had respun the board for manufacturability and a few major improvements. About two months ago, I got 10 boards made in the PRC and there were no problems getting parts. I am doing the firmware now. But now Findchips says there are NONE ANYWHERE, and Digikey and the rest have no idea when more will be available even though the part is still listed as active. If this malarkey is going to continue into 3Q 2021, I might have to re-spin the board using an alternative part from a more trusted vendor. The least they could do is advise chip distributors when parts will be available, but they fail to bother to do so. Bosch needs to clean up its act, else "face the firing squad". Atmel did the same with the touch switch fiasco back in 2008, and I know first hand they lost business as engineers looked for alternatives to the brand, because the brand had lost trust and confidence. |
