GP502 suggests 2015 Week 2, unless the vintage of the board is circa 2005

Thank you and just to confirm if this had a datecode of 2005 how would the marking then be mentioned?

I think GP refers to the facility or line involved in the testing/packaging, I think 6Q is the diffusion facility.

I don't know if this part was produced prior to 2013, you'll need to do your own due-diligence on that.

Components placed on a board could help determine a viable date range, and perhaps manufacture date for PCB or PCBA
