A few options to keep things moving:
- Redo the board with SOIC footprint to use chips on hand
- Mount SOIC chip on a breakout board and run wires to main PCB
- Find the chip somewhere in TSSOP package
- Find another pin equivalent replacement part
All the big US catalog distributors were out of stock. There were a few options on ebay but all international with long shipping estimates. Octopart showed a few international distributors with parts in stock, again with long shipping times. Octopart showed a few other US distributors with stock that I contacted. Most had pretty high minimum order amounts, but I got lucky with South Electronics!
They waived the minimum order amount, accepted paypal payment, and shipped same day. Parts delivered in 3 days!
