Redbeard said:I guess you could call it hand-picked, but it's technically an elaborate screening process at the IC and module level.
We buy unsorted sometimes, screen them at the IC level and bin them into different categories. 6400C3, 8500C5, etc. We then build up modules based on that, and when the modules pass the sort, they get labeled and sold at that level.
We experience a bit of fallout at the module level. So let's say we take 16 ICs that all screen fine to 6400C3, but when put at a module, they don't do 6400C3. So we screen that module again at 8500C5, and it passes that. So now that module is an 8500C5.
Our 8888C4, 9136C5, 6400C3, and 8500C5 are all based on the same IC with different levels of fallout.
Are you saying that IC that qualifies for 6400C3 is better then 8500c5?
