| | | +-- Version letter (A, B, etc.)
| | +-- Memory configuration (bus width, banks)
| +-- Density in Mbit
+-- Series prefix (M12L, M14D, F25L, F49L)

| | || | ||
| | || | |+-- IG = Industrial grade
| | || | +-- PA = SOP package

Handler Implementation Notes
Pattern Matching
java Copy // SDRAM - M12L series
"^M12L\\d+.*"
// DDR SDRAM - M14D series
"^M14D\\d+.*"
// SPI Flash - F25L series (also MEMORY_FLASH type)
"^F25L\\d+.*"
// Parallel Flash - F49L series (also MEMORY_FLASH type)
"^F49L\\d+.*"
Package Code Extraction
java Copy // Handle hyphenated MPNs - get part after last hyphen
int lastHyphen = upperMpn.lastIndexOf('-');
if (lastHyphen > 0) {
String suffix = upperMpn.substring(lastHyphen + 1);
// Strip leading speed grade digits/dots
String pkgCode = suffix.replaceAll("^[0-9.]+", "");
// Check PACKAGE_CODES map
}
Density Extraction Complexities
java Copy // SPI Flash uses leading zeros: 004, 008, 016
// Parallel Flash uses scaled encoding: 160=16Mbit
// F25L004A -> "4" (strip leading zeros)
// F49L160UA -> "16" (scale down by 10)

Learnings & Edge Cases
Leading zeros in F25L : SPI Flash density codes have leading zeros (004, 008, 016)
Scaled encoding in F49L : Parallel Flash uses 160=16Mbit, 320=32Mbit encoding
Configuration encoding : SDRAM part numbers encode bus width and bank count
Speed grade in suffix : Speed appears before package code after hyphen (e.g., -6TG = 6ns + TSOP-II)
Industrial grade suffix : PAIG = SOP package with Industrial Grade indicator
Version letters : A, B, C indicate silicon revisions, not always form/fit/function compatible
