RoHS ConversionOperational / Logistical Strategy

• Operational Strategy
• The transition to lead-free platings have been
  pro-actively driven through product conversion
  and has been communicated to our Customers and
  Distributors via standard Product Change Notice
  (PCN) system (2001 - 2004).
• Conversions have occurred by package type
  groupings. In cases where like packages are also
  manufactured at subcontractor locations, we
  worked closely with our subs to align the
  conversion schedules.
• With the exception of TSSOP (Hi and Lo) and BGA,
  all conversions will be completed by mid July
  2005 (WW30).

RoHS ConversionOperational / Logistical Strategy

• RoHS Shipping Package Labeling
• Phase 1 Approach (current) Words LEAD FREE
  added to all reels and inner packing boxes.

4
RoHS ConversionOperational / Logistical Strategy

• RoHS Shipping Package Labeling
• Phase 2 Approach - Adopt JESD97 labeling
  standards. The required Peoplesoft changes to
  accommodate this change have been made and
  implementation is expected by Q3FY05.
• Second label will be required in most cases due
  to space limitations.
• Two types of labels 1) Type 1 for packages
  with Pb-containing die attach but with Pb-free
  lead finishes, and 2) Type 2 for totally
  Pb-free devices.

Pb-Free Classification Category

• Label Option 1 To be used for devices with
  Pb-free platings but with Pb-containing die
  attach.
• Label Option 2 To be used for totally Pb-free
  devices

• RoHS Part Marking
• Change date code year designation from numeric to
  alpha character

RoHS Conversion Ordering Strategy
RoHS ConversionOperational / Logistical Strategy

• RoHS (Lead Free) Part Ordering Today
• Customers that order against the basic part
  number will get leaded or RoHS compliant product,
  depending on the factory conversion date per the
  PCN.
• For customers that must have lead free, orders
  should be placed to the _NL device.
• Customers that required the original leaded part,
  must order the basic part number with the _Q.

not all devices have an _NL equivalent part.
_NL parts are NCNR.
_Q parts will not be available for all FCS
devices.

RoHS Conversion Ordering Strategy (Cont)

• RoHS (Lead Free) Part Ordering with Product Alias
  
• (planned for early July 2005)
• With Product Alias, Customers may order RoHS
  compliant parts using either the basic part
  number or the _NL part number and they will
  receive Lead Free product.
• Prototype is expected by June 6th with production
  by July 1st.
• _NL will not be a unique part number and we will
  drop the NCNR restriction for our Distributors.

• For customers that require leaded parts
• Leaded parts will contain the _Q suffix
  following conversion to RoHS complaint parts.
• Parts will remain available until FCS inventory
  is depleted and/or manufacturing capacity is
  unavailable for continued Pb builds.

_Q parts will not be available for all FCS
devices.

RoHS Conversion Ordering Strategy (Cont)

• Leaded Part Ordering
• How long should FSC continue to offer leaded
  product?
• Our original strategy was to support leaded
  product demand with _Q product for 3 months
  following base part conversion to lead free. This
  presented a problem for several customers,
  particularly networking, telecom and automotive,
  since they were not driven to comply with the
  RoHS standard due to a product exemption.
• Our revised strategy is to support leaded demand
  via _Q devices until September 30, 2005 at no
  added cost to customers providing that
  operational capability and capacity exists .
  Beyond that date, we will continue _Q device
  support for select strategic customers with a
  cost adder. _Q product will not be returnable
  (NCNR).

an equivalent _Q device does not exist for
every base part.

Summary

• Fairchild will convert all basic marked devices
  to lead free packaging but with a unique date
  code scheme.
• For customers with unique part number
  requirements, lead free product may be ordered
  using the _NL part number.
• For customers that require leaded product, they
  will need to change their BOM to call out the _Q
  Fairchild part number.
• We expect to be totally converted and shipping
  only fully RoHS compliant product by the end of
  September 2005.
• We will host another status update with you for
  early July to review the Product Alias in more
  detail.
