Catalyst Semiconductor operates eight direct sales offices and has distribution relationships worldwide.
"It came to our attention in early July 2003 that Fairchild Semiconductor issued Product Change Notification (PCN) 20032603.
This PCN indicated Fairchild's decision to discontinue manufacturing numerous EEPROM devices that are alternate sourced by Catalyst Semiconductor.
In addition, on 17th July 2003, Fairchild Semiconductor issued a press release indicating that Fairchild's restructuring plans included an exit from the nonvolatile memory business.
Over the past several years Catalyst Semiconductor continued to develop and introduce additional EEPROM products while other suppliers such as Xicor and now Fairchild abandoned all or segments of the EEPROM market", said Catalyst Semiconductor Product Marketing Manager Gary Craig.
Craig continued: "We want OEM and distribution users faced with Fairchild's supply discontinuance notice to realise Catalyst Semiconductor offers direct replacements for Fairchild EEPROMs.
We have maintained a profitable EEPROM business and stand ready to support both old and new customers.
At Catalyst Semiconductor, we are dedicated to supplying and supporting the electronics industry over the long term with competitively priced, high-quality EEPROM products".
