Designers everywhere face a never-ending battle of managing the mismatch between their system’s lifecycle and the obsolescence of the components within it.
Nowhere is this challenge more evident than in markets such as mobile broadband, broadcast, military radio, satellite communications, radar, aerospace, and certain medical applications, where every RF component in the signal chain is a “critical” and often sole-sourced part.
Ampleon and Rochester Electronics have established a unique partnership to provide our customers with a trusted long-term source for these critical RF devices. We recognize the importance of a smooth transition, after a last-time-buy, to an authorized end-of-life manufacturing partner and are here to support you.
Rochester’s inventory includes 325 different part numbers and offers over 1.5 million units of Ampleon finished products. Additionally, we have wafer and die stock to provide continued licensed production. All our products are 100% authorized and guaranteed to the original Ampleon specifications and will continue to be available for many years.
