Inventory shenanigans at TI

(1/2) > >>

KE5FX:
I'd like to hear from people who have a TI account, and who can spare a couple of minutes to try to put some LMX2594s in their shopping carts.  If you're able to try this, please post the outcome below.

When I do that, I get the usual "Out of stock" result.   When a colleague in Canada does it, he is allowed to order up to 25, with 2285 showing in inventory.

I can think of various explanations for this, ranging from mildly annoying to infuriating.

I wouldn’t read too much into it: I think the site is acting up. At first, trying to load the LMX2594 product page just got me a 404 error. Now it’s loading. Shows me zero stock.

Loading the page for the eval module (LMX2594EVM) works, but the stock info is all messed up: it says TI has two, Digi-Key has 18, and Mouser has 71. But clicking the Digi-Key and Mouser links instead links to their pages for a completely different product (a microcontroller eval kit), but that’s not where the 18 and 71 come from, because Digi-Key and Mouser have 1 and 47 pieces of the MCU kit in stock, respectively. Meanwhile, searching Digi-Key and Mouser for LMX2594EVM shows they both have zero stock.

Or maybe your friend has a special account status that lets them order “hidden” stock, much the way Analog Devices will supply small amounts of samples of sold-out products, meaning that they do actually have stock, but have blocked it from normal sale.


P.S. In the future, I suggest nor pluralizing part numbers, because at first I copied ”LMX2594s” into the ti.com search box and of course found nothing. Yeah, when we speak such a number out loud we can easily pluralize it, but since a trailing “s” is completely possible in part numbers (unlike in other pluralized numbers like years (1920s, for example)), it becomes ambiguous.

TassiloH:
Account from Germany: Shows out of stock for both variants.

AndyC_772:
Out of stock for me too (UK).

tooki:
Maybe everyone here can also include whether they have been approved for samples ordering from TI.

Me: no. Applied for samples privilege but was declined.
