Hi Leo,

For Philips MCUs you can contact Elektronica sales. Thier phone numbers are 044-28587165 and 28587765.

I will check with my hardware vendor and let you the Atmel source.

No there are not many new entrants and Texonic are more into consumer stuff like Audio, Video and CATV accessories.

For genuine ICs from MNC sources I would rate Bangalore as the first place to be followed by Mumbai.

Regards

Raghu
