  • Hi Vinay,

    What vendor did you purchase these parts from (Digikey, Mouser, etc.)? Also, the parts received from any authorized vendor should have a TI label like on the genuine product. Can you please provide this?

    Best,

  • Hi Vinay,

    Do you have the TI lot number for this order from Arrow? This will help us determine where the devices came from. The lead frames could be different for a number of different reasons. Different fabs or assembly sites may have different lead frames. The parts may also be older and there may have been change in leadframe design since then.

    Does the customer have any issues with part functionality? Or just concerned with the internal differences?

    Best,

    Chris Pui
