296-44577-1-ND Marking Change and Lead Coloration

I have different markings, are these valid?

When you order AMC1301DWVR, some parts you receive may show some different markings which may throw up some red flags for authenticity. However, we have been informed there was a product change notification released in 2023 that verifies some markings have been changed.

The leads are slightly discolored with a reddish tint, what is the cause?

Some customers have also been noticing some Texas Instruments parts have leads with a red tint on them. The manufacturer has informed us that this red coloring is from roughening the leads. They wrote an article that covers through hole parts; however, this practice has been incorporated in most parts recently. This discoloration should not impact performance.
