OPA2277: OPA2277 different date code with different X RAY picture

Part Number: OPA2277

Could you help to advise why happen this different XRAY show with the same part number.

  • Huiyun,

    1. Were the devices purchased through an authorized distributor or direct from TI?  Below is a list of authorized distributors.
      1. Arrow Electronics
      2. Digi-Key Electronics
      3. Mouser Electronics
    2. The reason for the question is that counterfeit devices do sometimes get sold via non-authorized distributors. 
    3. Were the x-rays taken with the device on the PCB?  I'm trying to understand if the different shapes in the image are from the device or PCB.  The image on the right has two rectangles circled.  The OPA2277 has one die, so this cannot be die inside the OPA2277.  Maybe it is components on the back side of the PCB?

    I hope this helps.  Best regards, Art
