PCN Policy Statement
GCT Semiconductor's Product/Process Change Notice (PCN) policy targets compliance with
JESD46C. We notify our customers of major changes that may affect device form, fit, function,
quality, or reliability. GCT Semiconductor reserves the right to make changes on products
without notice when such changes are considered minor and do not interfere with the general
purpose (form, fit, function, quality, or reliability) for which such items are manufactured. If a
change affects published specifications, the specifications will be updated the next time the
datasheet is published. PCN's are published 90 days prior to shipping changed material although
extenuating circumstances sometimes result in less than 90 day notification. Any requests for
samples of changed material or additional information must be made within 30 days of the
notification as posted on GCT Semiconductor’s website Quality page.
PCN’s will contain, at a minimum, the following information:

