DRV8353: Datecode and Lotnumber Information

Hey Josef,

The Date Code and LTC are placed in the tape and reel packing material. This information is also based on the code on top of the IC package.

What is the concern with the DRV8353?

Best,
Akshay

Hi Akshay, 
I am familiar with finding the information of the imprint  interpretation in a datasheet. Not happening with the DRV8353. 

If I have the DRV8353 on our finished product available, I can only see the imprint, not the lot/datecode/reel information.  Can this information be recovered by the imprint code?

Concrete problem: We sent a number of DRV8353 to our testing facility for interchanging  damaged GDU. Nowbody sent the traceability information (lot, datecode, reel No.) so they can only know the  imprint code.
So again the querstion: How can we use / interpret /  trace the imprint information on the component?

Hey Micheal,

Let me check with our product team regarding this. I will aim to provide feedback before the end of the week.

Hey Micheal, 

From the LTC we can share the date code. Is that what you are looking for?

Best,
Akshay

Sorry...seems we are not talking the same language ;-)


Example: 
How is the  traceablility for e.g. this part be assured?

or

how does "27F S526 G4" translate to a <Lot-number / Datecode / Reel Number.> 

or

how can this imprint help me for traceability?

If there is a way to trace the parts by the imprints, can I do it / is there a specification/instruction  for how to doing so?

If there is no way to get any of these three values Lot Number / Datecode / Reel number out of the imprint numbers, please state clearly.

ADDITIONAL QUESTION: HOW ARE THE DATECODES ON THE REEL CODED?

Example:  The oldest ones I received are identified with datecode "2422" and we assembled them on november 2022.

The latest ones we are assembling right now, are coded "2336". How can I decode that? 

Regards

Michael

Hey Micheal,

I will check with the product team and aim to provide feedback.

Akshay

Great, thanks

Thanks for the information.
As I informed before I do not have any other information than the imprint code.
So I will contact the field representative whenever I will need specific travceability information.
