OPA1678: OPA1678IDR marking

Part Number: OPA1678

Hello
Here is my concern on these parts.  I see pictures of these parts online and on the data sheet and they don’t show the mold pin cavity, only the bar on the left.  In addition, the top marks are in varied locations on the tops of these parts, very inconsistent.   I am just not comfortable with the way these parts look.  Let me know if it is TI correct marking and confirm if these are legitimate parts.  Thank you.

I tried to send you photo but it is unsuccesfull. How can i send you photo  to show my question
  • Hi Cathy,

    Pleas send us the images of OPA1678IDR parts in questions.  If these parts are purchased from TI store or the TI Authorized distributors, you do not have to worry about it.

    There are two ways that you are able to upload images or pictures. 

    1. Use "Snipping Tool" in Windows OS, cut a desired image and paste (Ctrl+V) directly within the text of the inquiry. The image is directly uploaded. 

    2. Alternatively, you may find the tool bar on the bottom of the inquiry, Press Insert --> Select Image/Photo/files --> Upload files on your computer and Press OK.

    If you have additional questions, please let us know.

  • Hi Cathy, 

    Please be aware that any purchases through the gray market, brokers or unauthorized distribution cannot be supported due to uncertainties in the supply chain regarding chain of custody of the products. All other verification requests must be worked through their supply chain.

    Please follow the request procedures (from the prior reply), if the OPA1678IDR ICs are purchased from TI stores or authorized TI distributors. I hope that this helps. 

    Best,

    Raymond
