Responding to: ???'s previous message
My 'µC of choice' is the SiLabs C8051F310, which I use almost exclusively. On average I buy 750 of them a year.

Go figure what I think of as "high volume" ;-)

So what does "high volume" mean to you?            01/01/70 00:00      
   1 million sales            01/01/70 00:00      
   Depends too much on product and product value            01/01/70 00:00      
   In the cellphone market? Millions.            01/01/70 00:00      
      50k?            01/01/70 00:00      
         Report a bug and see what happens:            01/01/70 00:00      
            No help from SiLab technical support            01/01/70 00:00      
               unusual or changed or ....            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Response from local distributor            01/01/70 00:00      
            Shouldn't be the case?            01/01/70 00:00      
               It's probably a risk vs. reward thing.            01/01/70 00:00      
                  but, at least            01/01/70 00:00      
               Alas so huge amounts of false bug reports to support            01/01/70 00:00      
                  a valid point            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Not so sure about bigger companies have better skills            01/01/70 00:00      
                     it's difficult to provide persuasive evidence            01/01/70 00:00      
                        to prove a chip defect            01/01/70 00:00      
                           I'm guessing this happens because of slow response times ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           I see it from a different angle ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  RE: huge amounts of false bug reports            01/01/70 00:00      
                     That's why bug reports must be accompanied by evidence            01/01/70 00:00      
               I have twice had one such case            01/01/70 00:00      
         that value            01/01/70 00:00      
            Does anyone buy components at a "local" store.            01/01/70 00:00      
               Not anymore ...            01/01/70 00:00      
               seems to be the case in Farawayistan            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Early silicon            01/01/70 00:00      
                     even better            01/01/70 00:00      
                  It was common in the U.S. to buy small quantities locally            01/01/70 00:00      
               On-line            01/01/70 00:00      
   High volume usually means low margin.            01/01/70 00:00      
      High volume means high profit            01/01/70 00:00      
   Ask this question the mcu manufacturers.            01/01/70 00:00
