Identifying Product ID and Revision

When an Evaluation board is connected to a computer with MPLAB running, an information window with the serial number is shown. The first six digits of the serial number contain the product identifier and revision. Information about connected evaluation boards is also shown in the window.

The same information can be found on the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB. Most kits have stickers with the identifier and revision printed in plain text as A09-nnnn/rr, where nnnn is the identifier and rr is the revision. Boards with limited space have a sticker with only a data matrix code containing a serial number string.

The serial number string has the following format:

"nnnnrrssssssssss"

n = product identifier r = revision

r = revision

s = serial number

The product identifier for the Microchip Touch Bridge is A08-3142 (restricted access).
