Dear Customer:
Aeroflex UTMC Microelectronic Systems Inc. (UTMC) appreciates your interest and use
of our products, specifically the UT1553B Remote Terminal Multi-Protocol (RTMP). The
purpose of this letter is to inform you that UTMC intends to migrate the RTMP (Standard
Military Drawing (SMD) #5962-88645) to a new wafer fabrication facility. The supply of
current wafer material will soon be at a level that necessitates this migration.
The new version of the RTMP remote terminal interface is designed to be a direct
package replacement for the existing RTMP. This new version will also be a fit-formÂfunction replacement and demonstrate the same electrical characteristics as the current
version.
Aeroflex UTMC has sufficient die inventory to yield approximately 2,200 finished good
units (die code UN05). The inventory of the existing RTMP is being offered to customers
until the replacement product is fully qualified. Aeroflex UTMC plans to cease shipping
product built from the old mask set, once qualification of the migrated version is
complete. We expect to use the same SMD number (5962-88645) for the new material.
An updated version of the RTMP Data Sheet will be made available on the UTMC
website (www.utmc.com) by the end of the second quarter 2002. For reference,
attached is a current listing of RTMP part types and SMD numbers. If you have any
questions please contact me at (719) 594-8252.
Regards,
