Making Obsolescence Obsolete
Phoenix Semiconductor combines decades of collective intelligence in IC design, electrical engineering, packaging, process engineering, and supply chain strategy to redefine what’s possible in legacy semiconductor support. Our commitment to engineering innovation and operational excellence ensures customers receive fully tested, qualified, and production-ready replacement chips—on demand and at scale.
THE PHOENIX DIFFERENCE
Legacy Chips Engineered For the Future
Our engineering process is designed to recreate legacy chips without compromising the original chip functionality and parametrics. We pair modern IC design and packaging techniques with the original chip design to create a form, fit and function equivalent. This ensures that a Phoenix replacement chip will fit and perform just as the original chip.
Exact Specifications
Original chips perform specific functions that need to be replicated to exact standards in order to avoid board redesigns. Phoenix chips are tested extensively to ensure our chips adhere to the original chip’s specifications. No board changes necessary, no software changes necessary
Pin Compatible
No need to amend the printed circuit board and no need to rework the software, Phoenix drop-in replacement chips are pin compatible to the original specs.
A Trusted Source for Legacy Chips
At Phoenix Semiconductor, we specialize in recreating obsolete microelectronic components with precision and performance. Our innovative approach leverages modern semiconductor and packaging technology.
A proven process for component recreation
Resurrecting old chips isn’t as straight forward as accessing the original designs. Our engineering team has dedicated thousands of hours to perfecting the process of bringing discontinued components back to life. By expertly applying modern technology, packaging and manufacturing to proven IC designs, we ensure each recreated device meets today’s performance, reliability, and quality standards—while maintaining full compatibility with original systems.
Domestic Supplier Partnerships
Phoenix Semiconductor partners with U.S.-based, strategically distributed suppliers to ensure geographic diversity and built-in redundancy across our domestic supply chain. We have built effective working partnerships with engineering teams, packaging firms and testing houses that understand our standard of excellence and have become a part of our extended team. Outsourcing to suppliers allows us to leverage a large ecosystem to achieve scale.
Extensive Qualification and Certification
Our partners meet the highest testing and qualification standards, those required across every market we serve. This includes rigorous inspection, authentication, safe storage, and distribution of electronic components and related materials. We employ patent-pending testing techniques that ensure traceability and reliability. Our process encompasses engineering samples, product brief documentation, and detailed testing results, providing complete transparency and confidence in every component.
