I see some STM32s in stock

[LMI2]

Digikey has some STM32 CPUs in stock, lets see how long that stock will last.

No it's just a mirage!

In my experience our "regular suspects" such as Digikey, Farnell/Newark, RS, Mouser have always had *some* stm32 in stock when I've looked. It's just that there's such a huge range of different stm32 that the chance that they have one that will fit my current pcb is vanishingly small.

It's not like you can put a OC71, BC108, 2N3904 or 2N3055 in place of most transistors, or an EF91 in most B7G sockets.

(Not RS, because I haven't been able to search only for things in stock).

RS continually shows stock in Octopart, and then disappoints.

We bought a bunch of L0's that showed up yesterday, next deliveries looked to be 2023

The L4's on order pushed out another six months, so late 23Q1 for those..

I quess I should start using those L0 series chips. Anything else is waste of time. Some chips suddenly apper to be in stock, then they vanish, and never come back. Next time/year/month some other random chip appears. I can not have designs for every chip ST has.
