Peregrine's discontinued products available through Arrow Electronics' Supply Assurance program
Peregrine Semiconductor Corp of San Diego, CA, USA – a fabless provider of radio-frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) – has announced the availability of its discontinued products through the Supply Assurance program of distributor Arrow Electronics, enabling customers to order obsolete Peregrine products beyond their end-of-life process and last-time-buy event.
"Arrow can support the customers' ongoing demand for parts after the component manufacturer has discontinued production," says Arrow's director of supply assurance Tyler Moore.
"By working with Arrow's supply assurance team, we are complementing the work currently undertaken with Richardson RFPD, an Arrow company and RF design-in specialist distributor," says Peregrine's VP of worldwide sales Colin Hunt. "The new collaboration will extend the availability of our devices to our mutual customers beyond the end-of-life date."
Arrow procures inventory through its Supply Assurance program to extend factory-direct support. The program supports customers' ongoing demand for 5-10 years after manufacturing has been discontinued. Parts purchased from Arrow are shipped with full certificates of compliance, which removes the risk of counterfeit parts entering supply chains.
