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 MicroChip ATSAMD51G19A
https://www.microchip.com/en-us/product/ATSAMD51G19A
DigiKey https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/microchip-technology/ATSAMD51G19A-MU/7390368. If ordered now, the expected delivery date is October 19, 2024!
Used in a number of Adafruit products including the Feather M4 Express https://www.adafruit.com/product/3857
Adafruit has multiple orders in and would like to receive some of those orders to fill requests from customers.
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.
