Hello,
I am looking to replace LPC662 SOIC8. It looks like the 2 closest drop-in replacement parts are LMC662, and LMC6082.
Does TI have a longevity supply program?
Can TI provide an expected longevity of supply for these 2 parts? We are looking for something to be produced for a minimum of another 10 years.
Thanks,
Keith
Hi Keith,
LPC662 SOIC8's cross reference may be found in the list below.

Regarding to the supply demand for the next 10 years on the two op amps, I need to request the information from the marketing team. I do not have the information and currently both parts are active. I will let you know.

Hi Keith
both the LMC662 and LMC6082 enjoy a healthy revenue stream and are rather established parts among many customers across various segments. As such, we do not intend to obsolete them.
Hello,
Thank you. Is it possible we could get a stronger commitment or statement from TI on either or both of those parts? We have a policy to only design in parts with longevity commitments from vendors when possible.
Hello Robert
Here's TI's policy on obsoleting products below. Which specific package designators are using?
Hello,
Thank you providing IT's policy. I am interested in the SOIC8 (SOIC (D)) package for both parts. Both parts have been in Active production since 1998 for LMC662, and 2000 for LMC6082, which already exhausts the typical product life cycle.
Can we get a comment on these 2 specific parts for a minimum of another 10 years?
Thanks,
Keith
Hi Robert
I can confirm that the AIMX/NOBP will continue to be produced.
Hello,
Thank you for the confirmation. Can you comment on how long we can expect it to continue to be produced?
Thanks,
Keith

As Soufiane indicated, LMC662 and LMC6082 will not be obsolete anytime soon. You should not be concerned about the supply on that part.

Soufiane is our PRAMPS Sr. marketing engineer, and here is what he meant. I know that it may look confusion from the TI E-store at first glance. Sometimes, TI E-store's webpage or catalog is not renewed and/or updating regularly, so it may create some false appearance that a particular op amp model is going be obsolete from the catalog.
Below is our TI E-store inventory link on the part. Recently, we are reorganizing some of manufactured catalog op amp parts, and that is why you are seeing some of Last Time Buy request, but it is only happening to some of selected part numbers. For instance, LMC662AIMX/NOPB, SOIC (D) 8 package is definitely to stay and its inventory will be further increased as we are going to phase out some of older, obsolete or less demanded op amp parts.

Hi All,
Thank you. I was hoping to have some type of commitment in # of years from today before it would be considered for EOL. It is a large investment for us to qualify new parts into existing designs, and only a couple of years of life from the part isn't tolerable. I hope you can understand.
Is it possible to get a minimum # of years expected in the part before EOL is considered by TI?
Thanks,
Keith
Unfortunately, we can't give you commitment in number of years at this point. What I can tell you is that these are some of the most popular devices in our portfolio with thousands of customers and as such, I do not foresee their obsolescence even over the next decade. However, this doesn't imply a guarantee in any way, shape or form.
Hello,
Thank you for the reassurance. We will proceed in qualifying these parts.
Thanks,
Keith
