Date code of M41T62LC6F

tkuo · ‎2023-09-06

Hi, how to read the date code marking on M41T62LC6F.

Example attached: 231C4

Thanks,

@tkuo The RTC M41T62LC6F has been set to NRND (not recommended for new designs) and will soon be obsoleted. However, the characters in the second line, 231C4 in your case, can be interpreted as follows:

2 = last digit of the year of manufacture (as the RTC was launched in 2003, your "2" can therefore stand for 2012 or 2022)
31 = calendar week of the year of manufacture
C4 = lot number (internal)

Hope that helps?

Regards

Hello @tkuo

This code is personal to ST products. I think it means lot C4 of 2012 or 2022 week 31.

Best regards.
