Nobody redesigns a board because a resistor is short. ICs are different. When the exact MCU or analog part goes on allocation — or the manufacturer issues an EOL notice — your choices are a redesign, a requalification, or finding the part somewhere else.

We are the somewhere else. Nikivya sources ICs through a Shenzhen-centred global network covering agents, brokers and distributor stock across China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. Standard lead time is 4–6 weeks; emergency air cargo brings it down to 7–10 days. Every shipment is verified on receipt and arrives with one GST invoice and a complete import paper trail.

IC categories we source

Microcontrollers

8-bit to 32-bit MCUs from Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics, NXP, Microchip and Renesas — including the specific variant your firmware was built for, not a near-match.

Analog ICs

Op-amps, ADCs, DACs, comparators and voltage references. Analog parts carry design-specific behaviour — we source the exact part number rather than pushing substitutes.

Interface & Logic

CAN, RS-485 and USB transceivers, level shifters and standard logic from NXP, TI and Infineon. Small parts that hold up full kits when the franchised channel runs dry.

Allocation & EOL Parts

ICs on allocation, past their last-time-buy date or formally obsolete. Our obsolete sourcing service finds remaining stock through channels franchised distributors don't touch.

Allocation and EOL — where IC buying actually hurts

When an IC goes on allocation, the manufacturer serves its largest global accounts first. An Indian EMS company ordering a few thousand pieces sits at the back of that queue — and 40–52 week quotes from franchised distributors become normal. EOL is worse: the last-time-buy window rarely matches your production horizon.

We source the same part number through parallel channels — distributor overstock, broker networks and agents across Asia — typically in 4–6 weeks. Verified on receipt, manufacturer traceability where available, delivered with full import documentation.

If the IC is one blocker on a longer shortage list, send the whole list. Our BOM fulfillment service quotes the standard lines and the blockers together — one shipment, one invoice.

Why buy ICs through Nikivya

  • Built for the hard cases — allocation, EOL and obsolete ICs are our core work, not an exception
  • 80+ manufacturer lines — TI, STMicroelectronics, NXP, Microchip, Renesas, Infineon and more on our line card
  • One GST invoice — we handle customs, duties and import paperwork; your accounts team sees one Indian invoice
  • Verification on receipt — every shipment checked before dispatch, with a complete import paper trail

Frequently asked questions

Can you source ICs that are on allocation?

Yes. We source the same part number through parallel channels — agents, brokers and distributor networks across China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan — typically in 4–6 weeks, even when franchised distributors quote 40 weeks or more.

Can you supply EOL or obsolete ICs?

Yes. Obsolete and end-of-life ICs are a core part of what we do. Send the part number and quantity; we quote availability, price and lead time from our sourcing network within 48 hours.

How do we know the ICs are genuine?

Every shipment is verified on receipt and delivered with a GST invoice and a complete import paper trail. Manufacturer traceability is provided where available.

Do you supply ICs against purchase orders?

Yes. We quote first — part number, manufacturer, quantity, unit price and lead time — and supply against your purchase order once you confirm. Payment terms are agreed per order.

Need ICs quoted today?
