Schontek observation

The practical question for a buyer sourcing IC, MCU and sensor parts is what this changes about ordering today.
The part numbers named above (DSPIC33A, LAN8651, LAN8679, ICM-42688-P) are the items we would check against stock and distributor availability before a design is locked.
The checkable figures in this report (200 MHz) are the ones worth re-verifying against the datasheet, since pricing and lead time conversations turn on them.
Schontek holds independent stock and cross-references parts that go on allocation; send us a part number and we will confirm availability and delivery from our own position, not from this article.
