This is Joong-hyeok Lee, DMSMS researcher of Leoinnovision.

Especially, your product has been used in developing TACM(Torpedo Acoustic Counter Measure) detecting equipment manufactured by LIG NEX1.
On behalf of Korean DoD(Defense Of Department), we are checking EOL/status information on the parts of system. At the next year, the TACM equipment will be going to operate. Accordingly, Korean DoD hopes to know the information related with product EOL(End Of-Life) to sustain equipment operation.

In case of part obsolescence, our military and Korean DoD hopes to know the information related with product EOL(End Of-Life).
So could you provide me some information of the item?

  • Hello,

    Below is the answer for question 3 and 4.

    3. End of Production/Expected EOL Point : YYYY-MM(If it was discontinued/will be discontinued or have plan to discontinue)
    We don't have plan to obsolet this part right now. As I know, TPS51116 is being used by many other customers, I don't think it will be obsoleted in near future.

    4. End of Sales : YYYY-MM(If it will be discontinued or have plan to sell)
    As TI policy, if we decide to obsolete one part, we will notify all customers who have purchaed the device within 2 years, and provide 1 year life time buy period followed by 6 months period of fulfillment.

    Thanks
