Chip Shortage is a feature video by Adafruit's Ladyada to highlight items that are in short supply or possibly "unobtainium" (with no known return date to the market).

This week it is the Toshiba TB6612FNG Motor Driver https://toshiba.semicon-storage.com/us/semiconductor/product/motor-driver-ics/brushed-dc-motor-driver-ics/detail.TB6612FNG.html
