TMS320F2812: TMS320F2812 Lifecycle

Wolfgang,

I'll refer you to the TI wide statement on how we treat manufacturing/lifetimes of our devices; the relevant part to your question is in the following excerpt:

Internal policies for standard product longevity

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.

 These conditions ensure clarity in our effort not to obsolete TI standard products out of convenience.

The TMS320F281x device is in full active status on TI.com with no plans for obsolscence based on the above criteria.

Best,

Matthew

Thanks for the update Wolfgang.  Please don't hesistate to reach out for help on either device.  We're here to help.

Best,

Matthew

Wolfgang,

I assume you mean a pin compatible device from the current generation(GEN3) of devices; like F2837x.  There is no drop in pin compatible device for the TMS320F2812, although the F2837x is available in the same 176-pin package.

Best,
Matthew
