What does "Not recommended for new designs" mean?

    Thread Summary
    
                The user inquired about the ADXL103's 'Not recommended for new designs' status, expressing concern over potential obsolescence. The support engineer clarified that while the product is on an older process technology, there are no immediate plans to obsolete it, and efforts are underway to extend its lifecycle. The user should consult their sales channel for a more official stance and consider stocking up due to legacy production costs.

    To whom it may concern:
    
 
    Jewell Instruments has design in the ADXL103 into two major platform products which are being introduced this year.  When I was researching on your website today I was very much alarmed to see in the product's web page under Product Lifecycle:  Not recommended for new designs.  Is this a new product lifecycle change?  What does this mean in terms of obsolescence?  I really appreciate someone getting back to very soon.

        If I come across this I consider if my need is only current or future.
        
 
        Can I buy enough currently to cover my current production or anticipated production.
        
 
        But Mark's comment is very good:  "this product is presently manufactured on a process technology that is past its time as a "mainstream process technology,"
        
 
        Legacy production can be expensive.
