Rochester has four comprehensive levels of capabilities to guarantee that there is always a solution for end-of-life products. First, Rochester purchases the die and wafer from the OEM and continues production. If the supply of wafer and die is exhausted new wafer and die are manufactured using the existing tooling supplied by the original manufacturer. If the tooling is no longer available then Rochester can re-create the tooling from existing intellectual property provide by the OEM. When the previous options are unavailable Rochester can re-create parts from the last working sample. Rochester has the capability of producing over 300,000 different part numbers.

From AMD Rochester features microcontrollers from the AMD E86 family. The Am186ED/EDLV based on the x86 architecture are the ideal upgrade for 80C186/188 designs requiring increased performance and more than 64K of memory. Rochester also features several products from the Altera Classic device family. Fabricated on advanced CMOS technology the EP1810GC-35 and EP610DC-25 offer high-speed, low-power logic integration and can be erased with ultra-violet light, allowing for fast changes to the design.
