 We currently use an nRF51822 device in our product with the top marking QFABC0 . 
 We understand that NRF51822-QFAB is the ordering part number, and that QFABC0 is the top marking / hardware revision identifier on the device.

&lt;p&gt;You can take a look at the nRF51822 IC revisions and variants here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/r/bundle/comp_matrix_nrf51/page/comp/nrf51/nrf51822_ic_revision_overview.html"&gt;https://docs.nordicsemi.com/r/bundle/comp_matrix_nrf51/page/comp/nrf51/nrf51822_ic_revision_overview.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From what I can see there&amp;nbsp;QFABC0 is on revision 3 and is the latest version. So you shouldn&amp;#39;t have any problem with a new order of&amp;nbsp;QFABCx0 chip. The laser marking may show for example QFABC1 but it doesn&amp;#39;t affect the the revision of the chip. The x (in your case it was 0) is the production device identifier. It increases over time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
