We wanted to start manufacturing our second batch of our product and when placing the order with Anvet we were informed that the current lead time for BCM20732S is 16 weeks!! That's 4 months!!

This is totally unacceptable from a company that wants to the leader of Internet of Things. The market is fast moving and we have outstanding POs to deliver. Has Broadcom discontinued making BCM20732S?

what are customers supposed to do when all of a sudden the lead times change without any sort of prior notice? We are building our businesses on your chips and such abrupt behavior can severely damage our business.

This is a distributor issue; our lead time in the pricebook is 2 weeks.

The Avnet Express site says 1300 are on backorder and can ship roughly a month from now: Broadcom BCM20732S, 32QFN - Avnet Express

The distributor sales person needs to work with their inside sales and corporate product management team to understand why 16 weeks is the lead time. Doesn't make sense.

Mouser may have stock today that can hold you over for a little bit: Broadcom BCM20732S RF System on a Chip - SoC | Mouser
