Although Microchip has seen some of the lengthening lead times that are plaguing the industry, they shouldn't be anywhere near what you are seeing. We still quote stock to 8 eight weeks on virtually every device (exceptions 16C54A and 16C62X family) with most quotes in the stock to 4 week range - especially for smaller quantities. C71s and C84s should be stock to 6 weeks depending on variety.
