yes i have few select suppliers of chips in china , and have not had issues with them to date, but i am now not willing to go beyond those ones that have proved ok

i have heard of some really poor fakes , of microchip parts have started to show up , most are just removed from pcbs and still asking the same or higher than what the chip is new , but when its stocked

with some really stupid pricing from some eg with shipping to oz of 10 x 47q43 = $190usd + 120usd shipping - and no way to know your getting fakes

DONT FALL FOR IT , COS IT SURE TO BE A LOSS COIN ON THEM

I don't know if it's different for AUS, but for the US MicrochipDirect has a "sample" request that allows you to get up to two devices x qty 3 of each every 30 days.

It's showing the PIC18F47Q43 I/PT as 1-2 weeks right at the moment.

Interesting , they not show any available of them for sale , and this is where i got the dip 40 verson this week

[longpole001]

well did a sample order , see if anything is sent

no fees as i buy a lot of items from them

really strange if they are able to send samples of chip that they dont have to sell , till late in the year for any production

They should show up. I've had this happen for a number of chips lately... 0 stock but I can still get free samples.

I have a feeling they have more stock than they're letting on, probably for their "preferred supply" program.

Even partner program is broken and the agreed prices changed!

the samples coming from the microchip Thailand warehouse , not the usa one , so perhaps they have stock but not for all
