L6230Q excluded from longevity program?

[GaryA]

We are using the L6230Q motor driver and on the main L6230 product page the 10 year longevity program is highlighted.

However, on the longevity program list only the L6230 (PowerSO package) is listed, the L6230Q (QFN package) is not.

The confusing part about this is that every other motor driver IC that is listed in the longevity program is listed as both Lxxxx and LxxxxQ (except for those parts where the QFN package does not exist).

So the question is, is the L6230Q the only part specifically excluded from the longevity program, or is this an error/omission on the longevity list?

Welcome, @GaryA​, to the community!

This may indeed be a little confusing, but the 10-year longevity is available on all variants of the L6230. The list therefore also refers to the individual website of the L6230, which lists all variants (currently L6230P, L6230Q).

The other motor drivers, such as L6229 and L6229Q, on the other hand, each have their own website, which is why they are listed separately in these cases.

Does this answer your question?
