Hello,

Could someone explain the meaning of "D" and "9A" on the 1517D 9A marked on this DS26C31MQML?

thank you

Andrew, the D represents multiple lots with same year/week of seal. So, there would be 1517A, B, C, D, ...
The 9A represents the date code for the base wafer diffusion. ie, wafer lot.

Good morning!

For wafer fabriacation date code it is last digit of year (0-9) and quarter (A/B/C/D) so 9A is, for example, 1Q2009. Each QML Class Q and CLass V lot is accompanied by a Processing Conformance Report which will list the decoded information. See "Texas Instruments QML Lot Documents" at www.ti.com/lit/SBOA140
