12.4 Product Change Management
Use of PHYTEC products ensures interchangeable microprocessor core circuitry in the event of obsolescence of parts used
on our SOMs and SBCs. End users no longer need to redesign entire CPU circuitry and engage in version control to
accommodate new or obsolete parts. Instead, PHYTEC manages this at the SOM-level. PHYTEC ensures continued
availability of pin- and function-compatible SOMs and SBCs, further minimizing maintenance costs and risks. This pro-
active product lifecycle management (PLM) policy has enabled deployment of the same PHYTEC SOM in designs for over
twenty years.
