Re: Open Package Quote for production

["Fernando J. Barbosa" <barbosa@jlab.org>]

Hi Mitch,

    I noticed that the cost for this package (OP64 9x9) from Sempac is 
about US$3 per package for large quantities which turns out to be 
US$12,000 (I am assuming the Sempac quote includes bonding, etc.) The 
quote I got from Sandy from I2A (QFN64 10x10) a few months ago put the 
cost at US$2560 for 4000 units.

    Do you agree we should increase the cost of the final chip 
production estimates by about US$10,000?

Thanks and best regards,
Fernando
