Customer Notification

Test and Ship Location Change for CX28224/5/9 Inverse Multiplexing

for the ATM (IMA) Family

Dear Valued Customer:

This notification is for the purpose of informing you of a change by Mindspeed Technologies in the final

test and ship locations for the products currently tested at Conexant’s final test operation in San Diego,

California.

Purpose

To relocate the final test and ship locations to the subcontractor responsible for assembling the product.

This allows more immediate feedback from test to the assembly line as well as reduces the number of

subcontractors handling the product. There are no changes to the test systems or shipping materials:

The test systems will remain as Catalyst; the device specific hardware used in San Diego will be shipped

to the new test subcontractor; the test software program will remain the same, and the test specifications

will remain the same. The changes to the locations are as follows:

however, products currently tested and in finished goods inventory will remain at the current location until

inventories are shipped.

Method to identify parts

Full traceability is maintained by lot number and date code. The package and shipping labels will also

identify the location the product was tested, packaged, and shipped.

Customer Impact

No customer impact is anticipated with this change; there is no change to form, fit, or function. Tester

qualification data is available upon request.

We are confident this change will allow Mindspeed Technologies to maintain its high standards for quality

and reliability. We will be managing this change very closely to ensure minimum disruption to our

customers. If, at any time, you have a need for further information, please contact your local Sales

Representative.
