Obsolete Parts


DPACI offers a number of services to provide obsolete part replacement. We can perform an extensive obsolete parts source search for small lot quantities. Review by our Components Engineering can identify a suitable replacement part, then create a detailed specification for suitable alternate parts to allow replacement procurement. And we can test existing components for the purpose of upgrading them to higher reliability specifications.



When alternate parts are not available, DPACI can manufacture hard-to-find replacements using custom packaging, hybridizing existing designs, die recovery, or redesign.
  • Wafer/Die Qualification - DPACI utilizes QML foundries globally to obtain qualified wafers and dice to support customers with non-standard part requirements.

  • Die Recovery - DPACI has a patent pending die recovery process, DPEM/DCEM (De-encapsulate Plastic/Ceramic Encapsulated Module), for successfully retrieving die from plastic or ceramic packaged parts. The DPEM solution can save hundreds of thousands of dollars over reinventing the device and offers extremely rapid turnaround. A DPEM device can meet all the requirements of military and space level specifications in terms of form, fit, function, quality and reliability.

  • Emulation/Design - DPACI works closely with Tanner Research for emulation and ASIC design using their Manuflex Shared Mask Gate Array (SMGA) process. This highly cost-effective fabrication reduces economical minimum quantities to 100 pieces for full custom designs.

  • DPEM - DPACI can remove die from plastic parts via a patent pending process called DPEM and repackage it into a new ceramic or plastic package and retain it's total integrity. We have on file reliability test data and customer testimonials for this proprietary process (see our DPEM section).
