June 19, 2014. e2v, a provider of high-reliability semiconductors, today announced that, as part of a program of IC re-introductions, qualification has been completed on several devices in the Maxim Life Extension Program, including CMOS analog switches and multiplexers.
e2v and Maxim Integrated Products are working together under an agreement signed in 2011 to deliver long-term product solutions to defense contractors, enabling them to avoid costly redesigns and continue the production and support of critical programs. Today, e2v is announcing that qualification has been completed on several devices, including the DG305AAA/883B CMOS analog switch and the DG506AAK/883B and DG507AAK/883B CMOS analog multiplexers.
e2v will also qualify additional Maxim ICs to provide ruggedized versions of multiple product types to support harsh environment applications. This includes additional qualification options, expanded temperature ranges, and special packaging. The ability to provide the latest Maxim technology, qualified and tested to meet these requirements, means that e2v can support critical applications in multiple high-reliability markets.
“Customers need assurance that they will be able to procure these key devices over extended product lifetimes from a fully qualified and trusted source.” said Robert Brevelle, president, e2v. “We are re-introducing a wide variety of obsolete Maxim devices, providing fully qualified devices using original Maxim die. Building relationships like these with semiconductor manufacturers is a critical part of the support e2v offers to prime contractors and the warfighter.”
Many more devices are now in the process of being qualified, including analog switches, analog multiplexers, A/D and D/A converters, voltage converters/references, and a variety of other key Maxim-based products.
