UC3625: Availability of UC3625 IC in SOIC package

Adam Smith61

Part Number: UC3625

For a number of years we have made use of the UC3625Q Motor Driver IC in its 28 pin PLCC package and this is now discontinued. I realise that the SOIC package is still available but can anyone confirm the likely lifespan of this variant, please? Obviously we'd rather not re-design three of our PCBs to accept the SOIC package only to find out that this is also going to be made obsolete soon!

Thanks,

Adam.

Hey Adam,

TI doesn’t guarantee or have a time table to when SOIC package will be discontinued. Discontinuing a part depends on fab capabilities, package availability, easiness of manufacturing or whether there are enough orders/customers for the part.

However, TI currently has many devices which use this package; this means although there is no guarantee, customer orders with UC6325DW should be supported in the near term.

Let me know if this answers your question or if you need any other help.

Sincerely,
Sanmesh U.
