Rochester Electronics: Design & Replication Services

Replicating original semiconductor devices with the authority and support of the original manufacturer.

Original device replication or form, fit, functional drop-in replacements while managing the entire flow from specification to silicon, assembly, test, and qualification.

What is product replication? Product replication is the authorized cloning of a semiconductor product by Rochester Electronics to help our customers avoid the high cost of redesign or requalification due to it reaching end-of-life status.

How does it work? With the full support of the original device manufacturer, Rochester is supplied with the source design, technology, and test databases to efficiently replicate the device and ship to the customer. This process, utilizing original manufacturer authorized IP to replicate the device, is form, fit and functionally equivalent to the original device with no software changes necessary.

Why consider product replication?
-Support long-term system production needs
-Avoid costs associated with redesign or requalification
-Form, fit and function equivalent to original product and data sheet
-Physical design replicated from original
-Drop in replacement
-Methodology validated as a DO-254 minor change and implemented for DAL-A systems
-No software changes needed – 100% software compatible with no errata (DO-178 compliant)
-Original manufacturer guarantee to data sheet specifications

Whether your challenge is replacing legacy voltage CPLD/FPGA, using legacy ASICs or processors, or simply continued usage of standard products, changing system software in long-life systems is not an option. Rochester’s Design solutions help customers avoid the high cost of redesign or requalification due to device obsolescence. With design centers located in the United States, our Design staff has over 350 years of experience.
