Cost-Effective Legacy Chips

On Demand, At Any Scale

Phoenix Semiconductor is pioneering a new way forward that does not require new silicon, a fab or even original wafers. Phoenix drop-in replacement chips are seamless, innovative, fast, and tailored for the long-cycle market that demands a high mix of parts at lower volumes.

The Original Part, But Better

When a substitute won’t do. Phoenix guarantees our drop-in replacement chips will meet or exceed the Form, Fit, and Function of the original chip.

The End of End-of-Life

When chip providers issue EOL notices, customers have a short list of bad mitigation strategies. Say goodbye to unpredictable last time buys, missed forecasts, excess inventory and board redesigns.

Drop-in Replacement Chips in Months, Not Years

Phoenix doesn’t need a fab or silicon to manufacture our chips. Instead, we use an innovative approach to engineering that rapidly accelerates the design and development process.

The Phoenix Difference

An impossible problem,

an innovative solution

By pioneering a new approach to recreating legacy and mature microelectronic components, Phoenix Semiconductor delivers trusted, domestically produced components to those who rely on these technologies for sustained and secure operations.

Regain Control
Out-of-cycle redesigns are costly, time consuming and delay time to market for products and programs. Redesign and refresh cycles on your timeline, not dictated by chip manufacturers.
Parts in Perpetuity
Modern chip manufacturers can not address the need for a high mix of parts at lower volumes, creating risk when demand falls and lines are discontinued. Phoenix can guarantee that we will recreate the part you need in perpetuity.
Made in the USA
Designed and manufactured from our Headquarters in Austin, Texas and leveraging a nationwide network of suppliers, you can have peace of mind knowing the USA is the Country of Origin, saving time and money.
No fab or silicon required
Rapid innovation and advances in semiconductor design and packaging have had spillover benefits that can be applied to create legacy chips without new silicon or a fab; in months not years; on demand and at scale.

Addressing obsolescence management

in long life cycle markets

Long life cycle markets have been left behind by the majority of traditional semiconductor manufacturers. The economic realities of high volumes and frequent EOL notices leave OEMs with few options for sourcing chips that are mission critical but out of production. Phoenix is forcing a paradigm shift in how the market plans for obsolescence management.

Case Study

Original 1977 chips,

recreated & delivered in six months

Phoenix Semiconductor, a pioneer in modernizing legacy semiconductor solutions, announced that a major U.S. defense contractor has successfully tested and qualified Phoenix’s replicas of Datel’s 12-Bit High Performance Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) HZ Series, as well as Datel’s 16-Bit DAC. Both components—discontinued but still mission-critical—are integral to the Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS), a defensive system deployed by a U.S. Navy vessels.
