Philips -- many things, including ARM microcontrollers
If you want information *about* a particular part, the best place is the datasheet -- usually on the manufacturer's web site.
If you want the actual part itself, though -- sometimes you can get samples directly from the manufacturer. But that's pretty hit-or-miss. Your best bet is through some distributor or supplier.
(A "distributor" and a "supplier" are the same thing, right?)
