No Obsolescence Policy

PRODUCT OBSOLESCENCE POLICY December, 2011

Linear Technology Corporation (LTC) offers the following explanation of our process and policy regarding discontinuance or obsolescence of our products.

As a general practice, LTC prefers not to discontinue products and has discontinued very few products over the years we have been in business. Most of the discontinued products have been package variations of existing products that are no longer viable or available from our sources. When this happens, our strategy is to exercise our best effort to retain the manufacturing capability and design expertise associated with the affected products for as long as there is a commercially viable reason to do so. The manufacturing processes, packages and functions of analog products tend to serve their respective market segments much longer than faster . . .

REASONS FOR OBSOLESCENCE:1) ZERO sales for many years2) Cannot source raw materials
