MicroZed Availability and Lead Times

The Xilinx lead-time is 52 weeks for many products, including the ones on the MicroZed 7020. You can see this on the Avnet pages selling those devices:

In reality, our lead-time should be 60 weeks since it takes at least 8 weeks after we receive parts to build new boards and ship them, but so far we've been able to stay ahead of the demand somewhat. However, things are getting tighter. Xilinx is not the only manufacturer with long lead-times, so that is not the only problem.

My best advice to you is to find a local Avnet FAE and work with them. They have access to internal reports that show our build schedule and backlog. From what I can see, the MicroZed 7020 I-grade has the soonest availability, but the current quantity left to sell is limited (30). The C-grade may take slightly longer, but you could get more of them. Problem is that this changes daily, so find your FAE and work with them to get an order placed that makes sense for you.

You say you keep reaching out to Avnet and getting generic sales people. My advice is to call the Avnet branch geographically closest to you. Do not call the corporate number. When you reach the branch, tell them that you want to speak with the Xilinx-dedicated FAE or TSE. Here are a few links that take you directly to our branch locations for various regions around the world.

Thank you for your response. This information is helpful, I was indeed only calling the corporate number. I'll reach out to a local Avnet FAE and ask for the Xilinx-dedicated FAE.
