Product catalog summary

Introduction
e2v, a supplier focused on the aerospace and defence sectors, addresses the challenges of semiconductor obsolescence with its Semiconductor Lifecycle Management (SLiM™) program. This initiative aims to provide secure continuity of supply for complex aerospace and defence equipment, which often faces obsolescence issues before and after entering service.

Challenges in Obsolescence Management
The rapid pace of semiconductor product changes necessitates new approaches to design, manufacture, and support for long lifecycle systems. With system lifecycles extending over 20 years, and up to 70% of components becoming obsolete before program commissioning, a proactive approach is essential.

SLiM™ Program Overview
e2v's SLiM™ program offers a comprehensive solution to obsolescence management by integrating lifetime supply plans into initial project phases. This proactive strategy contrasts with the traditional reactive approach, ensuring operational capability and continuity of supply.

Key Features of SLiM™

25 years of experience in die banking, repackaging, and testing to military specifications.
Hi-rel semiconductor products, including QP Semi range.
Guaranteed supply and reliability to ensure program continuity.
Protection against counterfeit risks.
US DSCC qualified manufacturer listing.

Services Offered

Design, development, and re-engineering services.
Planned obsolescence management services for aerospace and defence OEMs.
Wafer storage in secure environments and management of EoL inventories.
Redesign and second source product solutions.
Hi-rel testing and packaging services.

Benefits of SLiM™

Reduced system and redesign costs.
Effective risk assessment and accurate BoM costing.
No supply chain disruption and reduced EOL inventory.
Fixed price costing and obsolescence clauses.

Conclusion
e2v's SLiM™ program provides a structured and proactive approach to managing semiconductor obsolescence, ensuring continuity of supply and operational capability for aerospace and defence applications.

Semiconductor Lifecycle Management (SLiM) brochure-2

Complex aerospace and defence equipment is at risk from the effects of unmanaged obsolescence before and after entering service. The accelerating pace of semiconductor product change and development requires new approaches to the design, manufacture and through-life support of aerospace and defence, and long life-cycle commercial systems, to prepare for and manage component obsolescence. With system lifecycles extending to 20 or more years and sometimes up to 70% of components becoming obsolete before programmes are commissioned, it is time for a new approach to obsolescence management. So, to...
