Chip Shortage: Toshiba TB6612FNG Motor Driver #ChipShortage @Adafruit

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 Toshiba TB6612FNG Motor Driver

Digi-Key https://www.digikey.com/short/t0nb29rm

Adafruit uses the chip for motor control products

Ordered 18,000 in Dec 2021, still owed 6,000 pieces. Please ship those 6000 pieces.


You can see the Chip Shortage Playlist to see additional videos.

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.
