Buyer scenario
Obsolete demand needs realistic date-code policy and careful channel review. In interface / isolation / ethernet / can / usb RFQs, buyers should confirm package, suffix, date-code policy and lead time before comparing supplier offers.
Relevant RFQ examples on this site include ADM2587EBRWZ, THVD1410DR, SN74AVC4T245PW, SN65LVDS2DR, SN74AVC1T45DBVT.
What makes old demand difficult
Interface and Connectivity demand often looks simple in a spreadsheet, but the quote can change once package verification, delivery timing and alternative part review begin.
