EPM7032AETI44-7N

Hello!
Could you please confirm whether the EPM7032AETI44-7N was discontinued on December 6, 2021, or if it continued to be produced for some time after that?
We have some EPM7032AETI44-7N chips with a date code 2225 — is that possible?
Photos are attached.
Please reply as soon as possible.
Thank you!

    Hello,

     

    If you refer to this PRODUCT DISCONTINUANCE NOTIFICATION (PDN2041), https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/677869/product-discontinuance-notification-pdn2041.html?wapkw=%20EPM7032AETI44-7N%20&DocID=677869, the OPN is one of the affected with no replacement OPN.

    Where were those devices purchased? Thru an authorized Altera/Intel distributor, or thru a third party grey market reseller?

      Hello!
      Sorry for the delay.
      These components were purchased from Arrow.
      I received the following information: “The original factory received an order of approximately 6 million US dollars from a major customer to Arrow in 2022, with a relatively large quantity and amount. The original factory resumed production in 2022.”
      Could you please confirm this information?
      I’ve attached photos of the labels.
      Thank you!

        Hello,

         

        This is unusual, as we already published PDN 2041, which I provided earlier, that listed out that this OPN is being discontinued.

        You may check with Arrow if possible.

         

        Regards,

        Aqid
