From: Antti on 4 Jul 2010 05:18 Avnet is sole disti for Xilinx, now lets see what Avnet says: searching for Spartan-6 all items are no stock, with notice factory leadtime 16 weeks but some items have extra note, "stock in asia" good this means there is stock? but what does the "stock in asia" link do? it opens a popup window saying: no stock, factory leadtime 143 weeks! 143 weeks leadtime on spartan-6? should we all smile or cry?

From: John Adair on 4 Jul 2010 06:51 It's even better when that 143 week lead time comes through as a formal quote. I have a number of Jan2013 delivery quotations. I'm sure it's not as bad as that but the people on the ground at Avnet think but they do go by their system quoted leadtimes. Meanwhile I will announce a new Spartan-6 board later this week. We have a limited supply of silicon sold to me by Nuho when they were still franchaise but after that I guess it's maybe a wait until 2013. John Adair Enterpoint Ltd.

Switch to Altera. I've never heard of delivery problems for the Cyclone 2, which a customer is still using for a product which I helped to program. Even for the latest Cyclone 4 there are already some chips available in the Altera online shop. For the Cyclone 3 device there are hundreds of each type in stock. Digikey, Farnell and other distributors have it in stock, too. 16 weeks should be enough time for changing a design from one vendor to the other, if you didn't use special features which are not available in the other FPGA. And in the end you'll have a more FPGA independant design, if you need to change it again :-) -- Frank Buss, fb(a)frank-buss.de http://www.frank-buss.de, http://www.it4-systems.de

Digikey now also has 251 XC6SLX items. All not on stock, but must parts scheduled around mid of august . -- Uwe Bonnes bon(a)elektron.ikp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de Institut fuer Kernphysik Schlossgartenstrasse 9 64289 Darmstadt --------- Tel. 06151 162516 -------- Fax. 06151 164321 ----------

On some these they will come back and say order book isn't open. That's what happened to me. I placed a pile of orders this way when this list appeared mid-week as a emergency way to get silicon and an alternative to Avnet. However I suspect, given what I have seen, that they will meet these dates but you never know/ John Adair Enterpoint Ltd.
