Post by mbirger »

Dear Compulab customers,

We have been informed by a supplier that a chip used in fit-PC2i is reaching end-of-life.
The said chip is Compulab PN 116B71808S (IC, Periph., F71808E, LPC SIO, PM, 1SER, KBC, GPIO, 3.3V) - a SuperIO chip used to implement the serial RS232 interface.
There is no compatible replacement chip available on the market.

Affected systems:
fit-PC2i

Compulab guarantees fulfillment of fit-PC2i orders placed before 31-Dec-2016 and will try to fulfill fit-PC2i orders placed at a later date depending on PN 116B71808S inventory at Compulab. To guarantee fulfillment of orders placed after 31-Dec-2016 please contact sales@fit-pc.com to inquire about component stocking service.
Also please note that fit-PC2i is not recommended for new designs. Compulab recommends fitlet-i as an alternative product.


Sincerely,
CompuLab product group
