Here's a little third-hand info from 
<http://www.gearslutz.com/board/geekslutz-forum/451413-lm394-replacement.html>http://www.gearslutz.com/board/geekslutz-forum/451413-lm394-replacement.html 
:

I was given conflicting information by people at Analog Devices, but 
the most recent information is this:

1. The FAB where the MAT02 was made was closed. Therefore, they 
decided to discontinue the MAT02.

2. Subsequently, there was strong demand for it, so they changed their minds.

3. They decided to redesign the part. I'm not sure if it was because 
of tooling issues, machinery incompatibilities, newer and better 
equipment or what, but they decided to redesign the part.

4. The new part will be known as the "MAT12". Samples in March, 2010. 
Production in June, 2010.

Another post on that page talks about some improved fabrication 
techniques. Hope this helps.
