Well the pretty vanilla chip I waited year for last year is now only on 48 weeks lead time... The other a bit less common one is only few months tho, compared

  >only on 48 weeks lead time... Small end-users receiving chips is a lagging indicator of the state of the supply chain. Companies are already warning about surplus inventory, ie: https://moneyweek.com/economy/global-economy/605232/semiconductors-head-for-supersize-bust https://moneyweek.com/economy/global-economy/605232/semicond...

    That's encouraging. But we're apparently not out of the woods yet. It wasn't very long ago (3 weeks maybe?) that I was on Mouser.com (or maybe it was Newark, whatever) looking for DSP's and there were basically none to be had. Hopefully we'll turn the corner soon and availability of most IC's will get back to normal. fingers crossed

    Honestly, it depends on the kind of component. It's easier to get CPU that support android than more lambda one for example, and that's without speaking about sub component. This lead to strange situations to say the least (partial bom delivery for example, so no power, no ethernet, 2G instead of 3G/4G modem...).
