Interesting, why would I try to bluff anything? I don’t understand your comments. It’s very simple to test a single chip just because it’s screen printed with a logo doesn’t mean it’s authentic. It was a simple question if someone had purchased chips from the Alibaba supplier and got one working. Microchip and many other manufactures will produce screen printed semicustom devices in the same package for a small charge with a logo printed on it. I was also a hardware engineer for Cadence Design Systems in San Jose we did lots of ground up semicustom designs all the time.

So can you explain to me why I am clueless?
