Chip lifecycle / Product types / Board-level product

Board-level product

Board, one of the Hub's ten product types. Each type runs only the lifecycle stages and gates its kind of change needs.

What it is

BoardA board built around released silicon.

A reference design, evaluation kit or application board built around released silicon, including a redesign of an existing board for another application. Nothing inside the package changes.

Typical triggers

Customers who need help adopting a part in a new application
A new target application for a released part
A component on an existing board that has gone obsolete

Examples

An evaluation kitA board that lets customers measure a released part and run its software.
An application reference designA complete schematic, layout and bill of materials for one end application.
A board refreshAn existing board redesigned to replace an obsolete component.

Examples are generic: they describe a kind of work, not any company's product.
