PCM1796: Correct marking

Alex Jansen

Part Number: PCM1796

Hi
I bought several PCM1796 chips for the prototype and they are different from those I have seen before.
Labeling is difficult to read
Applied with laser instead of paint
Changed font and style of numbers 6 and 9

Have you replaced the markings of the chips or did I get non-original chips?

Hello Alex, let me check with the team who has better knowledge about this and will get back to you by Wednesday EoD. Meanwhile can you also send me the picture of the other chip that with the label that you have been using.

Regards,

Arash

Hi,

From the info on the photos it seems they both are genuine and ok. In general TI strongly encourages you to purchase all your TI parts either directly from TI or from authorized TI distributors and not from the gray market or brokers.

You can find the list of authorized-distributors in this link.

Thanks for the answer.
Is this final and complete information? Or will you be able to find out more on Wednesday?
Can you confirm that there has been a change in marking style and that the numbers 6 and 9 have changed?

Hi Alex,

I got confirmation that both marking styles are from genuine parts and thus no more confirmation would be required.
