TRS3232E: TRS3232EQPWRQ1 datecode

Gina Lai

Part Number: TRS3232E

I have a reel of TRS3232EQPWRQ1 modules but upon receipt, I saw the manufacturer's label had been removed and there was no date code information.

How do I interpret the device markings to determine the date code?

The markings I am seeing on the module are displayed as follows (image also attached):
RS32EQ
TI LOGO 18KG4
CNTV

"18" might imply August 2021 (or 2011).

But if you did not get these from an authorized distributor, then it is likely that they are counterfeit, or used, or both.

Clemens is correct, the first 3 characters, 18K, indicate the year, month, and assembly site code. 1 would indicate 2021, and 8 would indicate August. G4 just means lead-free, and CNTV is the lot code. I was able to look up the 7-digit code in our internal system, and these are legitimate TI devices.
