The world wide greed for short term profits is eviscerating future designs. All manufacturing is geared towards the multi-million dollar customers. No capacity is left over for the million dollar customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I counted over 50,000 PSOC5LP orders of various kinds for Mouser. That has a retail value of 1 million to 2 million dollars. It does not include PSOC 4, PSOC 3, PSOC 6 orders. And it is only one customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my estimation, flawed though it may be, the distributor network in the world has $10 million to $20 million dollars outstanding for PSOC5 parts. These parts are being listed as 101 week lead times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t know about you, but if a small business is using these parts, it can’t wait for 2 years to build a new board, before it has to close its doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, the small hobby market is suffering. This will be a disaster for chip manufacturers. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ll tell you why – – where do you think the cheap 3D printers came from? From the hobby market after the expiration of patents. And what is that market size now? Millions of dollars. Millions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you say Arduino? The search for short term profits is a disaster for the future. However, corporations have no understanding of the future. They only understand the stock price for the current quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kodak only understood the stock price for the current quarter. General Motors did too. Mostek did too. IBM did too, and lost the PC market altogether. It is a smaller version of its previous greatness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MySpace, Toys R Us, KMart, Sears. Blockbuster. I can do research and come up with hundreds of companies that ignored future customers (by stifling R&D that paid attention to the little guy) and paid with their very existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, companies don’t have a soul. They don’t have a conscience. They don’t have morals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We (the little guys) always pay the price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t Enjoy. But be ready for the coming tsunami of unmitigated disaster in the innovation space formerly occupied by entrepreneurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
