EPM7032LC44-12 marking

Good afternoon,

I was wondering if the following additional markings from Altera's part number EPM7032LC44-12 are valid:

Top marking code: BDF329931

Bottom marking code: VFD323 8391 9911 AN

Please see attached image.

Regards,

Javier Moya

    If you bought it through a distributor then you can ask them. If not I'm afraid you are on your own.

    Altera does not provide support for devices purchased via the gray market and this includes part marking verification. Devices purchased via the gray market do not meet Altera's commitment of high quality devices because there is no quality control in the gray market.

    You have to put them on a board and test them.
