On my board I spec’d and have used Winbond W25Q128JVSIQ TR 128Mbit/16MB 8-SOIC (0.209", 5.30mm Width) which I believe is what GHI uses.
Apparently, that is a popular one and everyone is out of stock. Does anyone know of a cross to different manufacture? Looking for about 50pcs. Digi-Key has various other manufactures that look like they would work but I really would rather not guess.
In the same boat here with a few designs that use the new whizzy TPS6390 from TI - there were ~8k pieces available 10 days ago - now not stock until Feb 2022
I spent yesterday trolling thru all of TI’s buck/boost offerings and went with TPS63000IDRCRQ1 and TI have ~400k in stock (5k have gone in the last day)
I received my Flash chips from lcsc.com. No extra tariffs that I saw, just freight. They arrived Sunday, so about 4 days from Shenzhen, China to Rockford, IL, not too bad I don’t think. They actually arrived sooner than my DigiKey order that was placed the same day. DigiKey has their standard “COVID delay” excuse for why they can’t seem to ship parts with 24hrs like they used to pre-covid.
<rant> this "Covid" reseason for delays is really getting old and turning into an excuse. They have had more than a year to figure it out. </rant>
Saw that a new times with recent orders to Mouser. At least 3-5 days processing before it ships. Normally I order and the next day I get the shipping notification.
