Very frustrated these DRV5053* Hall sensors are in rationed supply at distributors!. When can Rich Templeton get either the Utah fab or one of the new Sherman fabs on line to support the volumes of Hall sensors in SOT-23. TO-92 is unacceptable in our application.
thanks

Jim,
I am sorry for your frustration. It is certainly a challenging time in the market. Aside from purchasing through a distributor, you may also check for availability of DRV5053 on the product page:
After signing in, you should be able to see quantities available for order for each package variant of the device, and then order directly from TI. There is also the possibility to sign up to be notified when inventory of a specific variant is available. This will help you place an order when the material is ready.
For more information about the timelines of each of the facilities you mentioned, approximate dates are mentioned in the following news article:
Again, I understand your frustration, and we are eager to get these facilities running to improve capacity to make these parts more available to you.
