Micron Product Longevity Program (PLP)
Automotive
Industrial
Medical, Aerospace, Defense
▶ Targets markets requiring long life cycles
 Automotive, industrial, medical, aerospace, and defense
▶ Ensures 10 years of support
 DRAM, NOR, and NAND
▶ Provides stability
 2-year conversion timeline in the event of a die shrink

Micron PLP Commitment
▶ Minimum of 10 years support from date of introduction (DOI)
 DOI is assigned to each PLP part number
▶ 2-year conversions for form, fit, and function
product change notifications (PCNs)
 1 year to last-time buy (LTB)
 1 year to last-time shipment (LTS)
▶ Conversions such as die shrinks will involve part number changes
• Original DOI stays the same regardless of PCNs, conversions,
and/or part number changes

Customer Choice: PLP vs. Standard Parts
▶ Using “X” designator in part number to indicate PLP-specific parts

All PLP DRAM part numbers use “X” designator

1Gb optimized NAND 34nm PLP devices are already using PLP “X” designator

PCN to convert PLP NAND part numbers to PLP “X” designator will be issued 4Q12

PLP NOR part numbers will use “X” designator with new lithography conversions
▶ PLP “X” ASPs will decline at a slower rate to support 10-year longevity
PLP lowers
obsolescence costs
in later years of
product life cycle
What are your obsolescence costs?
