- mywittyname 5y agoI don't think they need 100k per machine. I think the comment is saying they would buy them in batches of 100k from the supplier. It's not crazy that a complicated bit of machinery has a few thousand individual chips in each one.

- vdfs 5y agoIf you don't mind answering, what type of chips?
- 11thEarlOfMar 5y ago24 volt digital output drivers. We're also getting crushed on Xilinx FPGAs, certain Cypress CPUs, AD MUXes, Relay switches... It's something new every week.
