This is a very WISE decision and also sound advice Bob !
Surely you have been in the position where I have been on many occasions. :
You run into problems with (officially) "unknown" silicon problems.
If anything is *slightly" out of characterisation, they JUMP on the chance for an excuse.
(If all excuses are exhausted, it falls back to the good old "ESD" damage story, pathetic really)
You can always tell when you submit a concise report describing the silicon problem.
You suddenly get a stream of *seemingly* off-topic or dumb questions from the vendor.
That's when you know for sure you've run into a silicon snag.
Once a US RF silicon vendor had the audacity to even go to the extent in their dumb cover-up to
suggest that my "problem" was caused by it being summer in Australia, and that I had to constantly
keep spraying freezer spray on the chip.
Can you believe that ???
Or the good old back-dated Errata sheets !!!!!!!!!!!!! (ie. > ;2 years :-)
