Storage of silicon in die or wafer form followed by assembly and test on a periodic basis has been proven to be an effective approach. We have tied up with various international vendors having a successful track record of maintaining production.
Many hundreds of man hours of experience with all kinds of components, combined with constant contact with the majority of the world's manufacturers, ensures that Pacific Semiconductors is in one of the best positions to identify alternatives to obsolete or difficult to find parts. All alternative components are fully tested for it's electrical parameters and verified for mechanical dimensions
Screening of industrial components can alleviate many problems associated with obsolete components in legacy equipment. This is where industrial or military standard parts are subjected to a wide range of additional testing in order to prove the reliability of the parts for flight / harsh environment use.
Testing to a higher screening level.
Testing to within maximum ratings.
Value added testing will not improve the part but will enhance confidence
Remove potential failures
Justify usage for non-standard / non-qualified product
Meet project requirements and schedules
Provide back-up for procurement
