USB Flash Memory Controller ICs?
« on: May 28, 2020, 07:57:48 pm »
Not sure where this one belongs so I'll drop it here for now.

What's going on with the purchasing requirements for basically any USB flash media controller (like you'd see on a thumb drive)?  I've never noticed this before either at work or for a personal project because I've never had need of one, but I can't even find a contact point at any of the manufacturers or distributors to ask about them.  It looks like Microchip has a couple eMMC/similar controllers but those aren't really what I'm talking about here.

Not much else to say... I see a few on eBay from China but that's it, and those aren't really useful to me without a datasheet.  Is literally every USB flash interface NDA'd, or is this something with USB-IF licensing again?...
