Does NRND spell the end for a niche product?
NRND could be translated as End of Life is coming.

Could just be a 'better' part exists.

Time to look at manufacturers roadmap.

NRND is the fist step to Last time buy, then End of life.

It will normally take years to go to last time buy.

You'll be able to buy chips from scalpers for years after that.

If you don't buy millions, generally manufacturers ignore you.

Stick with industrial, long lifespan parts. Consumer parts turn over fast.
