Unfortunately, it is not that simple.  Vendors don't sell electronic
components like 7-11 sells soda pop.  It is up to the manufacturer to
approve a vendor to distribute their product.  If you want
distributors to sell the Philips chips, you should talk to Philips.  I
am surprised that they have not worked to distribute through Digikey.
 They are used by many companies for smaller volume prototype and
pilot production purchases.
