Hi friends,

Can U pls help with the DS32EV100SD/NOPB

"D32E1SD" is the marking for DS32EV100SD/NOPB

"M21ABE3" - what is it? lot code, not for the customers?

Or is it the datecode decoded?

Best regards and thank U.

  • Hi Paolo,

    The marking indicates a DS32EV100 device.

    The top line does include additional information on the product manufacture.

    Counterfeiting is a growing threat to our industry.  Because our topside marking is critical to our anti-counterfeiting efforts, TI does not translate that marking for customers because publicizing that information increases our counterfeiting risk and exposure.

    • TI provides information related to our part markings @ http://www.ti.com/packaging/docs/partlookup.tsp#divline.
