Chip Shortage: TI TPS61023 Boost Converter #ChipShortage @Adafruit @TXInstruments
Chip Shortage (video) is a feature video by Adafruit’s Ladyada to highlight items that are in short supply or possibly “unobtainium” (with no known return date to the market).
This week it is the Texas Instruments TPS61023 3.7-A boost converter with 0.5-V ultra-low input voltage.
Adafruit uses the TPS61023 in a wide variety of designs, making them an important part of their product lineup. The main product is https://www.adafruit.com/product/4654
Adafruit needs 8,000 pieces – they were booked through Digi-Key A YEAR AGO and they’ve been bumped to 2023! Please ship these to us!
Also check out Adafruit’s series Eye on NPI which highlights new products available at Digi-Key and Adafruit New Products on the new items Adafruit has which may include “respins” of products with available chips supplies.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
