XTR110: Obsolescence

Hello Agustin,

I apologize for the delayed response, but I've been working with the quality and planning teams to review all XTR110 orderables to ensure we had a complete history of the XTR110 so we can give you an accurate forecast on its life expectancy.

As you noted the XTR110AG is in fact Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). This is due to the fact that as an older, high-cost device, we believe there are other options that may be more price effective for the majority of our customers. For example, the XTR110KP is a pin-compatible alternative in a plastic PDIP package, which has a narrower operating temperature range compared to the ceramic CDIP package of the XTR110AG but is offered at a significantly lower price point. The XTR300 is another viable alternative for a new design; it is not pin-compatible with the XTR110 but offers similar functionality at a power price point.

However, all that being said, please understand that the XTR110 is in no danger of being obsoleted, and all of the orderable part numbers listed on ti.com are currently in demand and therefore in continuous production.

If you’d be interested in reviewing TI’s obsolescence policy for future reference, please refer to it here - www.ti.com/.../product_change_notification.page. The main point to note is that in the event of obsolescence, we give our customers 12 months to order the device to ensure minimal disruption to the production flow.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns about the XTR110, and thank you again for your patience.
