SN65MLVD204A: Assembly process of SOIC 8 series in SN65MLVD20xA

Part Number: SN65MLVD204A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN65MLVD200A

Hi,

I would like to know if all parts with a same package in the family SN65MLVD20xA (so SOIC 8 on one side SOIC14 on the other side) are packaged the same way in Aguascalientes. Because I have the assembly factory but no information on the packaging process and I would check if x200A and x204A are packaged in the same process.

Best regards

Arnaud

  • Hey Arnaud,

    The SN65MLVD204A and SN65MLVD200A use the same datasheet, meaning these devices are packaged the same way. Please look at page 32 in the datasheet for package information.

    Regards,

  • Thanks Josh,

    Actually package is dimensionnally the same, but my question is do the different parts in SOIC 8 packaged using the same process? We qualified one but we would like to know if the other can be qualified by similarity with the other. For that knowing the same packaging process is used would be helpful.

    Regards

  • Hello Arnaud,

    I cannot speak for all SOIC 8 packages TI has released are processed the same way. However, when you look at the packaging information in page 32 in the datasheet, you will see the 200A, 202A, 204A and 205A use the same packaging process. 

    The right most column represents where Pin 1 will be orientated in the tape and reel. Since every device has 'Q1', all of them will be orientated the same way.

    Regards,

    Josh
