TPS543C20: Procured old date code parts - TPS51200DRCR & TPS543C20RVFR

Part Number: TPS543C20

 Hi,
We have procured 1)TPS51200DRCR (Its DC- 1833+)  MFG date: 2018, 33rd week (MSL-2).
                              2)TPS543C20RVFR (Its DC-17+)  MFG date: 2017  (MSL-2). 
Please suggest that we can use this part in our assembly or not.

Also please suggest any special baking process we need to follow if we chose to use the part.
  • Hello,

    If the units were received in a vacuum sealed ESD bag with the tape and reel enclosed (or have not been out of the sealed bag for more than a year), then a bake out should not be necessary. Otherwise I would recommend an 8 hour bake out at 150C followed by a resealing before installation. 

    Regards,
