Mark, Zilog is listening to your message and certainly appreciates you posting your comments. Availability of product during the production cycle is certainly important but sometimes easier than the earlier program stages since it is planned; we know during the engineering and pre-production stages you don’t have time to wait for product. We have, and continue to make efforts with our distributors to improve their inventory; we will re-address our Global distributors Digi-Key, Mouser and Future Electronics making sure they have the right devices on the shelf. Including the Z8F6422 product family. The Z8Fxx22 product family is one of our more popular product lines, if you can’t find stock in the future please feel free to contact me directly. We want you as a customer and working so you will find our technology, technical support, and customer service compelling and reason to choose Zilog for your next design. Shaun Neddermeyer –
