Dear Marc, I am sorry to hear that you are having problems receiving AVR parts. ATMEL has been surprised (as any other semiconductor company) by the tremendous upturn in the market. We have taken many actions to get back to equilibrium between demand and supply. (current fab throughput increase, Die Shrink and new fabs) This is going to relief the situation (we are shipping more parts every month already) Currently most of the AVR parts are on allocation (we do not quote lead times but it is between 20-26wks). We have however a recover plan in place (see above) and I expect that I will be able to reduce the lead times in Q1/2001 tremendously With the best regards
