Tool/software:

Question #1:

Paragraph 6.3 of DLA Drawing ref.: V62/20606 states that top side marking should be “ODB” . However, these parts received with DC 2236 have marking “1I7”, which is the part marking required by TI datasheet.

Please see attached images.

-Is this part marking “1I7” compatible with the code “ODB”?

-If “ODB” is an acronym used by TI, which is the meaning?

We believe “ODB” is a generic designation linked to each manufacturer (like the example of acronym TBC = To Be Confirmed), so TI would be applying the corresponding one, that would be “1I7”.

• Could you please confirm that this approach is correct?
• Do you know what "ODB" stands for exactly?

Question #2:

The applicable datasheet states lead finish = “NIPDAU”, but the DLA Drawing ref.: V62/20606 states Lead finish = “Gold flash palladium”.

-Which is the real lead finish: NIPDAU or Gold flash palladium?

-Are both options indeed the same kind of lead finish?

TI Application Report SZZA031 - December 2001 states that NiPdAu is not an alloy, but an identification of the individual layers applied over the base material:

 Therefore, finish stated in DLA drawing “Gold flash palladium” would be compatible with this structure of layers associated with “NiPdAu” finish.

• Could you please confirm that this approach is correct?
