Many companies that had basically striked Maxim off their list - for chronic poor availability and parts getting obsolete with little warning - started considering Maxim again as they have tended to do better than average ever since the shortage started.

I'm pretty sure that this is mostly due to the fact that they got bought by Analog Devices which never jerked their customers around like Maxim did.
I avoided Maxim parts like the plague, but now they are on the menu.

Funny.  I've only heard of the Maxim parts sourcing/EOL problems from old timers.  I've never experienced any issues first hand, and I used a bunch of Maxim parts when they made sense.  Maybe it was the Dallas acquisition around 2001 that made them shape up?

People were still complaining bitterly about Maxim's service up to the time of their acquisition by ADI. A lot of people worried that they would infect ADI with bad service, but thankfully it seems to have gone the other way.

I don't know if it has anything to do with AD or not: while Maxim parts have happened to have good availability compared to others during the shortage, not at all for AD and LT parts. So, uh. Maybe it was mostly due to the fact that Maxim parts were less in demand. Or maybe that they are fab'ed with different process nodes that are themselves less crowded.

TimFox:
What I remember from the “bad old days” at Maxim were complaints from design engineers who found a Maxim device perfectly suited to their requirements, only to have it discontinued shortly thereafter.  Maybe 2005 - 2010?  ADI bought Maxim in 2020.
