st

June 2024

All new LTB will be Non-Cancellable Non-Returnable.

Last Time Ship (LTS): On allocation status. Estimated Leadtime: 30 weeks.

As the affected devices are using a legacy silicon technology, our wafer supplier has imposed a

price increase for this LTB, we have no choice but to increase our price for this LTB to sustain

our business.

Customers are recommended to qualify the pin-to-pin replacement as soon as possible for better

competitive prices.

Please do not hesitate to contact your sales team if you have any question.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Future Technology Device International, Ltd
