Assembly of LPCC Packages AN-0001
Surface Mount Assembly and Handling of ANADIGICS LPCC Packages
1.0 Overview
ANADIGICS power amplifiers are typically packaged in a Leadless Plastic Chip Carrier (LPCC) package. These LPCC packages have two types of pads, mounting pads and a thermal pad, both of which must be correctly soldered for proper electrical contact to the PCB. The appropriate steps should be taken during PCB design and assembly to guarantee optimum performance from the power amplifiers. This application note outlines the steps necessary for the handling and assembly of ANADIGICS power amplifiers.
