201904007DN : Touch Switch Discontinuation and Transition to Microdul for Suppy

NXP is currently selling one and eight channel capacitive touch switches through a buy/resell arrangement with Microdul AG - Customized Swiss Microelectronics www.microdul.com/en/It is unfortunately no longer practical to manage this business in the current arrangement and NXP is discontinuing the buy/sell arrangement with Microdul. This Discontinuation Notice PCN is being sent to officially notify NXP customers and end the touch switch sales arrangement with Microdul. Microdul however will continue to manufacture the devices and sell directly to customers so there is no supply or end of life concern. The Microdul delivered devices use the same part name and are identical to the devices currently being shipped except the NXP logo will be removed from plastic package topside marking. Customers need to determine if they should do a Life Time Buy via NXP or contact Microdul and transition to them as source of the products. Microdul currently doesn't sell devices through a distributor so customer will need to purchase directly from Microdul.

Discontinuation Information 

This Discontinuation informs that NXP Semiconductors (NXP) is now discontinuing the manufacture of parts. In accordance with NXP product discontinuation policy and JEDEC EIA/JESD48, we are hereby giving notice of these product changes so that our customers and partners can adjust their product purchasing records, or make any final lifetime purchases of the discontinued products that can still be supplied by NXP. 

Discontinued Product Terminology:  

NXP Part Number which includes part type and packing designator as referenced on the Customer’s order. 

Short description of the withdrawal status. Products listed as “Full Withdrawal“ indicate that all Product Types with similar functionality are being discontinued. Products listed as “Version Withdrawal“ indicates that a specific version or package is being discontinued but at least one other Product Type with similar functionality is still available.  

Some Product Types may not be available and are identified as Non-Manufacturable. NXP can no longer produce these products and no supply or inventory exists for various reasons such as “not acceptable product quality” or “unique manufacturing restrictions”. Non-Manufacturable products cannot have a last time buy for commercially impracticable reasons. 

For Limited Availability Product Types, a unique manufacturing or limited inventory or time condition exists. Where Limited Availability coded products are still manufacturable, a limited quantity of the Product Type has been, or will be, produced within NXP remaining capacity to meet our customers, or our distributors, commercially reasonable last time buy orders. Limited Availability products will be scheduled by NXP on a first-come/first-serve basis until the remaining Product Type manufacturing capacity or inventory is depleted. When the inventory for the Limited Availability Product Type is depleted, no additional last time buy order Product Type quantities can be supplied by NXP. 

Standard End of Life Products Types have no known supply restriction and NXP customers and distributors' last time buy orders can be met according to NXP discontinued product (DOD) policy. 

Sole Source indicates that the Product Type being discontinued is unique to NXP Semiconductors. Multiple Sources indicates that the Product Type being discontinued could be available through other suppliers. 

Date indicates the last date NXP will accept an order on the discontinued product. NXP allows a six (6) month last order period for multiple-source products and a nine (9) month last order period for sole-source discontinued products or customer specific products. Last Time Buying is not possible for "Non-Manufacturable" discontinued products. "Limited availability" discontinued products are subject to the remaining product inventory, or limited manufacturing conditions set forth in the DN notice. Ordering shall be limited on a first-come/first serve condition until the remaining product capacity or inventory has been sold. All Last Time Buy order periods are measured from the Issue Date of the Discontinuation Notice. 

Date indicates the last date NXP will ship a discontinued product. Unless a Non-Manufacturable or Limited Availability condition and shorter time period is indicated in the PTA, NXP allows a twelve (12) month delivery time period for discontinued products measured from the Issue Date of the Discontinuation Notice. (For some products, NXP may extend the Last Time Delivery date beyond the standard horizon.) 

NXP 12nc number represents the NXP master internal manufacturing control identification number for reference to each part type, version of the part type or packaging/conditioning (3 last digits), being discontinued. 

Any known NXP replacement 12nc for the discontinued NXP type number is reference only information. NXP replacement part designation is NOT intended as a statement of warranty, or an indication that the listed replacement product meets the same form, fit, function or performance of the discontinued product until such time as NXP customers or distributors qualify such product to their specifications.
