If they won't provide such a guarantee, pick another supplier. But, you might as well start new vendor selection now. Nobody is going to guarantee that anything is 'perfect'. Look at the disclaimers for medical or nuclear use. Nobody wants their commercial product in life support or hazardous applications. There are enough chips to sell without having to provide custom guarantees. Richard
