The TL;DR of this report is that the "chip shortage" has been confirmed to be in the following nodes: > Microcontrollers that are primarily made of legacy logic chips, including, for example, at 40, 90, 150, 180, and 250 nm nodes > Analog chips including, for example, at 40, 130, 160, 180, and 800 nm nodes; and > Optoelectronics chips including, for example, at 65, 110, and 180 nm nodes. I had a feeling that these were the class of chips that were the problem. The car industry is well known to use the cheaper "legacy" nodes. Furthermore, the older nodes are on 200mm wafers, which necessarily makes far fewer chips (by area) than the more modern 300mm wafers. -------- For us to be running low on "legacy" is pretty interesting, because there's less profit in these chips. But its also lower tech, there are more manufacturers who can make 180nm nodes than who can make 5nm nodes.
