How Much longer will the MCF51JM be available

We use a desing with the MCF51JM series. Wondering how long it will be before it goes obsolete ? Is there any close code compatible replacement ?

Hello,

In general, we recommend customer make reference below link for the product Longevity issue:

Product Longevity|NXP

MCF51JM was launched at July 2008 and we defined it as "10 years" longevity when launched.

Anyway, please understand that Product Longevity describes the minimum amount of time a product will be available. Product Longevity does not say when a product will be end of lifed. If a product is still active after its Product Longevity period is completed, the decision to EOL the product will be market-driven. If market demand is high, NXP can and does keep a product active for years after the end of the product’s Product Longevity period.

At present, we do not have any plan to EOL this part.

Thank you. I would assume you would not recommend a new design with it ?
