Automotive semiconductor lead times are not yet improving

Semiconductor availability continues to be challenging. The lead times for the automotive microcontrollers (or MCUs) that a year ago captured everyone's attention have improved slightly since February. However, analog chip lead times remain consistently elevated at nearly 4x the long-term average, close to peak levels within the context of the current semiconductor shortage. We believe analog supply will continue to cause difficulties within the automotive supply chain.
