Sourcing and lifecycle — active, ROHS3, no LTB risk
Marking and provenance — what to check on receipt
Given the 28-TQFN package, the top marking is laser-etched — the font, spacing, and alignment are consistent across Maxim's production plants. When verifying incoming stock, check that the date-code laser etch matches the week code format Maxim uses (YYWW). Any sanding, re-marking, or inconsistent logo placement is a red flag.
