They are probably having to pay a lot more for them, because of demand for the manufacturing facilities. Microchip have their own fabs, and seem able to keep up with demand.

What ever happened to that?

What ever happened to that? It fell through. http://www.atmel.com/dyn/corporate/view_detail.asp?FileName=AtmelBoardofDirectorsResponse_10_29.html

Is this limited to EEPROM/Memory only or uCPU as well? Definitely worth considering getting out of AVR. Do NPX ARM come with on-chip FLASH? M |
