Guaranteed manufacturing lifetime

[GrantK]

When we first chose to use the mc9s12xep100 many years ago, part of that choice was based on a guaranteed availablility of supply of at least 15 years. 15 years has now passed, and I'm trying to check on if that has been updated - how much longer can I rely on the mc9s12xep100 being available for purchase as a current part?

Dear Grant Kassell,

Product Longevity | NXP Semiconductors   ... A Life status after defined period will still depends on the market. The last stage when ctm should be careful is Not Recommended for New Design (now it is good to contact Distributor if you still want to use them in future). followed by Last Order Date and finally End of Life. 

Best regards,
Ladislav
