“AUTHENTICARE”™ Product Verification Program (We test you rest)
Why do you need “Authenticare”?		Combating the counterfeiter!		What can you do?
Counterfeit product threatens procurement process in situations: Manufacturer is no longer supporting the device. Production of the device is not high enough to meet the demand. Manufacturer lead-time is long Device required is a high cost product.		Combating Tools: DDI Device Die Identification Counterfeiter not able to change the wafer mask. This is identifiable as OEM. CPI - Critical Parametric Identification. Counterfeit devices typically all have unique variances to the actual device specification DMV -Die Metallurgical Verification. Scanning Electron Microscopic to determine composite materials-Optional		Supply Chain Only source from direct supplier or franchised source. Confirmed Manufacturer C of C. Verified Date and Batch Code. Verified supply chain Flow-Down Trusted Audit trail
Counterfeit devices are becoming harder to detect: Counterfeiters adapting to detection techniques Using scrap die to pass x-ray. Similar device packaged and marked to appear correct and may pass minimal functional testing. Electrically lower grade parts used to emulate higher spec parts. Commercial grade used to emulate Industrial or Military grade without screening. Gate arrays used to emulate IC’s. Critical speeds-too fast Use of multiple manufactures which are not 100% FFF		Testing, Verification & Policy: Multiple levels of parametric and mechanical device authentication. Minimal DC testing to full SMD or Military screening. Confirm suitability and capability of test facilities. Request R&R of test results. Bond tested, final product, in correct environment for future confidence. Comprehensive library of test software. Over 3000 test fixtures.		When there’s no provenance: Treat ALL grey market products as suspect. Test before you pay or test before you use. What is the real cost of buying suspect product. Company reputation Reworking Reliability Extra resources Quality Use OEM die and get the part manufactured and tested.-100% guaranteed. Use Authentication program on finished parts-50%-99% assurance. Confidence at low cost
Testing Levels 1 to 6. You pick the confidence level you need
Level	Test Conditions	Quantity	Test Definition	Typical Use	Data
Level 0	Anomaly Inspection	Sample or 100%	Ext. Visual. DDI on 3 date codes.	Typically used for Basic authentication of product from questionable suppliers.	R & R not available
Level 1	Anomaly Inspection. 25oC Datasheet DC's and Functional Testing	Sample or 100%	Ext. Visual/Limited DC/Function at 25'C. DDI on 3 date codes	More Detailed Verification than basic visual.	R & R available although not included
Level 2	Anomaly Inspection. 25oC Datasheet DC's and Functional Testing	Sample or 100%	Visual/Complete Datasheet Verification at 25oC. DDI on 3 date codes.	Typically used when device is questionable on passing certain requirements.	R & R available although not included
Level 3	Anomaly Inspection. 25oC Datasheet AC & DC Testing	Sample or 100%	Visual/Datasheet AC & DC Verification at 25oC. DDI on 3 date codes.	Typically used for determine devices will functionally perform to datasheet.	R & R available although not included
Level 4	Anomaly Inspection. Datasheet DC Testing over temperature. C=Comm. I= Ind. M=Mil	Sample or 100%	Visual/DC Verification at Full Temp Range. DDI on 3 date codes.	Designed to test temperature variable DC parameters.	R & R available although not included
Level 5	Anomaly Inspection. Datasheet AC & DC Testing over temperature. C=Comm. I= Ind. M=Mil	Sample or 100%	Visual/ AC & DC Verification at Full Temp Range. DDI on 3 date codes.	High probability of detection. Designed to test temperature variable DC parameters & AC Functions.	R & R available although not included
Level 6	Anomaly Inspection. Datasheet AC & DC Testing over temperature. C=Comm. I= Ind. M=Mil	Sample or 100%	Visual. 25oC pre BI test. 168Hr BI. AC & DC Verification at Full Temp Range. DDI on 3 date codes.	Highest probability of counterfiet detection.. Designed to test temperature variable DC parameters & AC Functions. 168Hr Burn-In for reliability and high confidence.	R & R available although not included
Level X	Customer supplied.	As reqd	Customer supplied.	When more complex parameters require testing or wider tolerances than normal are required.	As Reqd

Sample =Typically 100pcs/or as lots/Batch sizes define.100% testing optional contact sales for pricing.
Anomaly Inspection=Defined as external inspection for non-typical OEM practices.
DDI =Die Authenticity not guaranteed as availability of OEM data is sometimes difficult to obtain.
Solderability Testing =Suffix Level with (S). Sample size 5pcs/batch
R&R data =Suffix Level with (R)

Ordering Example= Level 5MSR (level 5 to -55oC to+125oC with solder test and data report).
