Burr Brown and TI

Posted by tommytube on June 28, 2007 at 09:26:02:
I have to do a lot of component engineering on EOL parts we use in my companies electronics boards. My impression is that Burr Brown was bought by TI in 2000. After 7 years, TI has slowly made availability suck on most of the older parts. It's very common to see 6 ot 9 month lead times on older Burr Brown parts. I guess if TI makes it impossible to get, people will move on and redesign to use other parts. It's a shame since BB made some neat stuff.
