TMS570LS3137-EP: Suggestion for new design

Part Number: TMS570LS3137-EP

Could you please tell  when the below microcontroller came in market.? What is the life cycle of this microcontroller and is it recommend to use the below microcontroller for new design?

  1. TMS5703137CGWTMEP

Also confirm whether it will be availble for next 15 years.

  • I would refer to our corporate statement regarding product lifetimes here: https://www.ti.com/quality-reliability/quality/product-life-cycle.html  If you have further questions after reading that, please let me know and I'll do my best to address them.  I'm copying the relevant part below for continuity.

    Our guidelines state that TI standard products are not eligible for obsolescence if any of these three conditions exist:

    • The product has had any sales within the last five years (seven years for automotive or high-reliability products).
    • The product can be manufactured and has been in production for less than 10 years.
    • The product has any current customer demand.

    The  TMS5703137CGWTMEP was released in 2015 and is currently in ACTIVE status.  I can also confirm this device has sales in the current year; so at an absolute worst case the time period referred to in the above link would start today and extend to a minimum of 7 years.  This 7 year timeframe continually resets so long as there are sales for a device within a given year.

    Best,

    Matthew

  • is it recommended to use this microcontroller in new design?

  • Yes, this device is active status, recommended for new designs.

    Best,
