DRV8844: Availability issues with this part

WILLIAM BOYLE

Part Number: DRV8844

I have used this part before, but now there is no availability and is currently being quoted at 24 weeks lead time.  Is there a production issue, some other technical issue, can't keep up with orders, or being phased out?  I have called the main office, but all they did is reiterate that the lead time is 24 weeks (not much help).

Please let me know

    Hi William,

    I cannot comment on the stock and lead time issues, but I can assure you the device is not being phased out.

    So, why are they currently unavailable? Are there production issues, suddenly massively popular, or...? Someone there must know, right?

    Hello William,

    I'm sorry for the delay in response. To respond to your question, the answer is similar to "suddenly massively popular," however it is not only DRV8844 in this case:

    "The semiconductor industry is experiencing record demand increases. 2017 market strength far exceeded expectations which continues to put pressure on TI’s capacity for certain packages/technologies.  We have had four consecutive quarters with double digit growth for Auto, Industrial and Personal Electronics.  TI has extended lead-times in accordance with market conditions so proper order visibility and smart backlog are critical. Please help to assure you are providing the appropriate amount of visibility by placing your orders as soon as possible so we can better support your needs."

    If you would like to discuss more about your needs, I sent you a friend request through the E2E system and we can message directly.

    Thanks,

    Matt Hein
