Focusrite 2i2 4i4 3rd gen

[electroelef]

Hi Guys

I am fighting a dilemma here.
I am trying to find out the part number of the main processor used in Focusrite 2i2 and 4i4 third generation.
They seem to be XMOS.
I can not order them from anywhere using what is written on them.
If anybody would be able to help identify these I would be very grateful.

Maybe send an email to XMOS and ask them ?

Re: Focusrite 2i2 4i4 3rd gen

those are bullshit numbers on the chip.

any company that requests that has no intention of helping anybody.

XMOS would not help unfortunately

The funny thing is that I found a Chinese guy on eBay who was able to provide me with two pieces of these chips using the first line from the code: 002049
When I asked him if he can provide the datasheet for them and/or the manufacturer part number for them he said he can not. Weird isn't it?

the chinese have access to the factories and dont waste anything.

unsold stock gets dissassembled and sold as parts,
surplus or scrap/damaged also gets sold as parts.
on the books they are probably just listed as "disposed of"

the best trick they have involves parts on reels or strips intended for robotic manufacture.
you get say 5000 parts on a roll.
the machine gets down to the last few hundred and trips an alarm,
instead of waiting for an empty bin, you stop the machine and reload it.
then sell the strip of a few hundred parts to a market and bill the customer for those parts anyway as "unuseable"
