Allocation and shortages will hit in early 2004

Microchip.. A letter from the president

The electronics industry is currently experiencing some growing pains.
Increased demand for consumer electronics, PCs and telecom equipment has driven significant growth in
global demand for electronic components through the second half of 2003, and into 2004. Although the UK market has not benefited directly from this growth as much of this type of equipment is now manufactured abroad, we are of course still part of and subject to global market shifts, and resulting trading conditions.

The fundamental issue the industry faces currently is a lack of test and assembly (or "back end") capacity. This lack of capacity has led to a number of product types going on extended lead time and allocation in the past 2weeks.
Semiconductor manufacturers are having to buy additional capacity at a cost which has led to SIGNIFICANT PRICE INCREASES.

In particular we have seen price increases from the following suppliers

National - up to 100% price increase on selected commodity linear parts.
Texas - up to 50% price increase on selected commodity linear parts
Infineon - up to 10% price increases on selected discrete parts
Fairchild - up to 15% price increases on selected discrete parts
STM - have not increased prices on allocation parts as yet, but it seems likely that they will have to increase when they renew their Master Quote in April.

We can protect ourselves against increasing lead times by placing extended orders on our suppliers, but there is little we can do to protect ourselves against price increases.

Please note that some of these price increases will start to impact us in March as new stock comes in at higher prices. Our operations and marketing teams are currently running price checking reports, and trying to negotiate better pricing on affected parts to support contract customers.

At the minute the number of parts affected by this is in the low 100's, however, if history is anything to go by, then the knock on effect is that the number of parts affected will increase dramatically.
