MSP430F5438A-EP: lifetime of device / estimated LTB

Morten Larsen
Prodigy 80 points
Part Number: MSP430F5438A-EP

Hi TI MSP430 support!

I'm evaluating MCUs for a project both requiring -55deg to +125deg temp.range, and low power.

In short: not much else to choose from than TI (MSP430 family) ;-)


MSP430F5438A-EP seems to fit nicely in, with both large RAM and Flash (relative to application requirements).
Price is also very low compared to other (older), comparable "-EP" parts with considerable smaller RAM/Flash configuration.

However, product availability/lifetime is an issue (>=25yrs is desirable, 15yrs a minimum), therefore:
- does TI have an estimated or guaranteed (minimum) lifetime of the product? (assuming purchases of small quantities, <1Ku/batch)

TIA

Rgds

    Morten,
    
Here is a quote from a document located at www.ti.com/quality   It is in the General Quality Guidelines document.
    

    
TI’s Product withdrawal/discontinuance process complies with J-STD-048, latest issue. TI makes an effort to not obsolete products out of convenience. Convenience means: low running device, poor yields, limited customer adoption or similar items. TI’s obsolescence withdrawal schedule provides a longer lead time than the industry standard. TI allows 12 months for the last order and an additional 6 months to take final delivery of obsolete items. In rare circumstances, an accelerated withdrawal schedule may be necessary. In such cases, TI will communicate the last buy and final delivery dates in the EOL notice, along with an explanation of the circumstances necessitating the early withdrawal.
