I'm finishing up an FPGA Journal article called "Stop. Go. Yield. - Dude! Where's my Chip?"
I'm looking for people that have had delivery problems with FPGAs - particularly situations where delayed volume shipments caused a substantial impact on your ability to deliver a product.
If you're not comfortable posting here, you can contact me directly. I'll keep you anonymous on request.
This will be a fair article, and the vendors will be able to give their views/input as well.
Group disclaimer: After three years of carefully avoiding using this group to gather article input, I've now done it twice in less than a month. I promise not to make it a habit. In both cases, I needed information beyond the reach of our normal PR and design team channels. If you object, please let me know and I'll take your opinion into consideration.
