5407 Longevity

[PaulZ]

Hi,

We have some products that were developed when the 5407 first came out (about 2003), and we typically need 20-25 year life (industrial controls).  I realize it has NRND status, but it doesn't show up on the NXP Longevity lists.  How much longer will it be manufactured?

Thanks!

You won't get an answer from here. There's "only us chickens...".

Ask your Distributor. They should have better channels for this sort of thing.

On the Parametrics page you can bring up the "Last Order Date" and "Last Ship Date" columns, which are usually hidden.

These show dates in 2006 for the variants that are no longer manufactured, but are currently blank for the other ones. You could set a periodic alarm to check these every month or so.

As you've found the MCF5407 doesn't show up in the "normal" longevity list here:

Product Longevity: NXP (formerly Freescal&#10|NXP

It should show up in the "Archived Longevity" list, but doesn't:

That worked the last time someone asked this question, but not this time:

Re: MCF5282 Obsolete

It has a "10 year lifetime", but you then have to know the start date.

I have an MCF5407 Device Errata document dated 2004. It lists Errata items being added in April 2000.

So it looks like it might be 5 years beyond its Longevity limit. Or that might be for the variants that have already been stopped. It is 12 years beyond the 2003 date you give.

I'd suggest you panic now and do a last-time-buy for the next 8 to 13 years, or at least to when you schedule having a replacement designed.
