| Products Affected: | CFA10055-8, CFA10056-4 |
| Date Issued: | May 19, 2015 |
| Summary: | CFA10036, CFA10037, CFA10055, and CFA10056 parts are no longer available to be ordered separately. These parts are now bundled with an appropriate display, software to make a turn-key evaluation platform. |
| Description: | We are releasing a set of pre-configured demonstration boards based on our CFA10036 and CFA10037 products. The new pre-configured parts are: CFA201 = CFA10055 + CFAF320480C4-035T (was CFA10055-4) CFA202 = CFA10036-1 on CFA10037 + CFA201 CFA203 = CFA10055 + CFAF320480C4-035T-TS (was CFA10055-8) CFA204 = CFA10036-1 on CFA10037 + CFA203 CFA205 = CFA10056 + CFAF480800FT2-040T (was CFA0056-4) CFA206 = CFA10036-1 on CFA10037 + CFA205 CFA207 = CFA10065 + CFAF480640A-035T CFA208 = CFA10036-1 on CFA10037 + CFA207 CFA209 = CFA10065 + CFAF480640B-035T-TS CFA210 = CFA10036-1 on CFA10037 + CFA209 As part of this roll-out, the CFA10036 and CFA10037 will no longer be available as stand-alone products. The CFA920 and CFA921, which are also based on the CFA10036 are still available and in production. |
| Reason: | Easier to order (no configuration necessary) and lower price for the demonstration boards for the specified displays based on the CFA10036 and CFA10037. |
| Impact: | CFA10036 and CFA10037 availability will be very limited beyond CFA200 series parts. |
| Availability: | CFA10037, CFA10055, and CFA10056 based parts will not be available for order directly as of 2015-05-20. CFA200 series parts are available immediately. |
| Price Change: | The 200 series bundles are priced aggressively compared to the previous price for the same products configured under the old part numbers. See display part pages bundle pricing. |
