OPA2227: MSL Clarification

Part Number: OPA2227

Hi Team,

A customer received OPA2227UA with a MSL rating of 2. However, the MSL on the datasheet and on the TI tool is MSL 3.

Would you kindly confirm this?

Thanks and regards,

  • Hi Marvin, 

    The datasheet shows the worst case to cover all manufacturing sites. The label on the units the customer received takes precedence and MSL 2 would be considered an upgrade to MSL3. The label on the devices they received is correct.

  • Hi Chris,

    Thanks! I would like to ask if there is a new manufacturing site? The MSL tool only list one. (pictured above)

    Regards,

  • Hi Marvin,

    This device recently changed processes. During this requalification, we were able to requalify this device to MSL 2 instead of level 3. Since there is still market inventory of the old process, the MSL rating is still labelled 3 on the TI website. However, MSL 2 is the rating for all new devices made, and the customer should not be concerned if they receive shipments with a level 2 rating.

    Best regards,
