Handler Implementation Notes

Package Code Extraction

// NUC series: Pin code is after line number
// NUC123LD4AN0 -> LD determines package

// M-series: Pin code is after series number
// M451LG6AE -> LG determines package

// N76E series: Package code is 2-letter prefix of pin count
// N76E003AT20 -> AT = TSSOP, 20 = pins

Series Extraction

// NUC1xx and NUC2xx return generic series
if (upperMpn.matches("^NUC1\\d{2}.*")) return "NUC1xx";
if (upperMpn.matches("^NUC2\\d{2}.*")) return "NUC2xx";

// M-series returns exact line number
if (upperMpn.startsWith("M031")) return "M031";
if (upperMpn.startsWith("M451")) return "M451";
if (upperMpn.startsWith("M480")) return "M480";

// NAU88L must be checked before NAU88
if (upperMpn.matches("^NAU88L\\d{2}.*")) return "NAU88L";

Official Replacement Logic

// MCUs: Same series AND same pin count are replacements
// Audio Codecs: Same series are replacements (package variants OK)

Learnings & Edge Cases

• NUC vs M naming: NUC series uses full format (NUC123LD4AN0), M-series is shorter (M451LG6AE)
• N76E003 popularity: Most popular Nuvoton 8051 MCU due to low cost and Arduino compatibility
• NAU88L prefix: NAU88L25 must match before generic NAU88xx pattern
• M480 flash encoding: Uses letters (A-D) instead of numbers for flash size
• Pin code position varies: NUC at position 6, M-series at position 4, N76E at end of MPN
• TPM chips: NPCT6xx series are security ICs, not MCUs
