Thank goodness I saw this thread.
I was barely able to buy enough micros to populate a big PCB order I'm putting in, now. Well, I have shipping confirmation on half the order. I'm still waiting on the other order, but so far, so good.
Lead times are nuts. 1 year lead times?
I wonder if the internet just saved me, or if it creates these shortages by increasing the panic level? I've never seen a shortage on this particular part, before.
