SN65HVD06: SN65HVD06

Part Number: SN65HVD06

Hi there.

This IC is part of a module and is in production for the 5th year in a row. No problems until now.
At the moment I have 6 modules each mounted with two (2) of these transceivers. All 6 fails with this device and all 6 are produced in late August 2020.
I have replaced two transceivers on one module and it was up running after that. All errors seems to be the same.
The replacements was found in my repair box and they could easily be more than 4 years of age.

My concern is the marking date of the transceivers and hopefully you can help me decipher these codes:

New part, failing:
VP06
92M
AVSU

Older, working:
VP06
77M
A804

Replacement, working:
VP06
11M
ALF6

Thanks

Kind regards
Henrik Damtoft

  • Henrik,

    I confirmed the  “77M A804” is real TI device SN65HVD06. However I didn't find the other 2 lot trace code markings in the system. Can you provide us a legible topside image of the unit and where/when they purchased it from? 

    Regards,

    Hao

  • Hi Hao.
    Thank you for the very fast response to my request.

    I have added three photos as described in my request.

    Please have a look at them.

    Replacement, working (bought app. 4 years ago at Farnell DK):

    Thanks in advance

  • The replacement part, 11M AKF6, was bought at RS Components DK. Not at Farnell DK.
    This item was bought app. 4 years ago.

  • Hi Hao.
    I found something very interesting.
    I replaced the 1MHz 2.5V clock input with an external generator and varied the amplitude to verify trigger threshold..
    It appears that the A804 has app. 1.8V as trigger threshold at the clock pin.
    The AVSU has app. 2.65V...! 
    According to datasheet, the threshold is min. 2.0V..!

    Supplier information regarding delivery of items:
    VP06 92M AVSU: delivered by ALBA Components
    VP06 77M A804: delivered by Arrow

    I have attached X-ray photos of both IC's and I think they speak for themself.

  • Henrik,

    Thanks for your information. We're investigating this. I will update you when I get feedback.

  • Henrik,

    "77M A804" matches our bonding diagram, however "11M ALF6" material doesn't. It is likely a counterfeit. Here is the information to report it to TI.

    Required information

    1. Completed Counterfeit Request Form. 

    2. High quality pictures of the bottom & top of the device(s)

    3. High quality pictures of the 2D bar code labels.  

    4. Copies/pictures of shipping documents, i.e. packing slip showing the origin of the devices to TI.  (If this information cannot be provided we are unable to provide verification due to uncertainties regarding chain of custody of the products.)

    5. Provide device application.

      Once the required information is provided and submitted, your request will be reviewed for verification.
