Product Change Notification (PCN) PCN1040 Laser Brand Transition March 30, 2015 Detailed Description of Change IXYS Integrated Circuits Division will be changing device marking from ink branding to laser mark. This change will only affect the visual appearance (or form) of the devices listed in this Product Change Notification. The manufacturing process change will take effect on June 28, 2015, 90 days from the date of this th notice. The products affected by the transition will coincide with date code 1527 (27 week of 2015), which is a visible identifier of the product. Due to existing inventory, some shipments may contain ink-branded devices for a period of time. Some shipments could contain both ink-branded and laser-marked parts. At no time will ink-branded and laser-marked parts be combined into the lowest-level shipping container (i.e. tube or tape and reel). Ink-branded devices may continue to be shipped for a period of two years following the effective date or until inventory of ink-branded parts subject to the change is depleted. The PCN number assigned to this action is PCN1040 and should be referenced in any correspondence related to the change. Reason for Change The adjustment in package branding will improve efficiency and automation. No other characteristics of the part will change.
