1.0 Introduction
This qualification procedure is designed to satisfy the package reliability requirements for the 32 lead 5x5mm QFN
surface mount plastic encapsulated package. The testing is designed to simulate the worst-case environments the
product may experience during assembly, test and life in the end user application. The device is electrically tested to
the appropriate catalog specifications. The HMC681LP4E was selected to qualify the 5x5mm QFN surface mount
plastic encapsulated family of packages.
1.1 General Description
The 32L 5x5mm QFN package uses a copper alloy lead frame. The lead frame is silver plated internally to enable
gold wire bonding. The MMIC device is attached to the paddle using conductive epoxy. The device interconnection is
performed using 1 mil gold ball bonds. The part is encapsulated using Sumitomo EME G700 or equivalent epoxy
encapsulating compound. The leads are finished with 100% Matte Sn plating.
The HMC681LP5(E) is a digitally controlled variable gain amplifier which operates from DC to 1 GHz, and can be
programmed to provide anywhere from 13.5 dB, to 45 dB of gain, in 0.5 dB steps. The HMC681LP5(E) delivers noise
figure of 2.8 dB in its maximum gain state, with output IP3 of up to +36 dBm in any state. This serially controlled
digital VGA incorporates off chip AC ground capacitors for near DC operation, making it suitable for a wide variety of
RF and IF applications. The HMC681LP5(E) is housed in a RoHS compliant 5x5 mm QFN leadless package, and
provides the user with a highly integrated solution. This functionality is also available with parallel control as the
HMC626LP5(E).

3.0 Test Procedures
3.1 Package Environmental Tests
These tests are designed to demonstrate that the 32L5x5mm QFN surface mount plastic encapsulated family of
packages are capable of maintaining the specified parameters throughout their useful life under rated operating
conditions. The HMC681LP4E was selected to qualify the 5x5mm QFN surface mount plastic encapsulated family of
packages. The results of these tests qualify by similarity all other product using the same package.
3.1.1 Initial Characteristics - 160 HMC681LP4E devices were electrically tested for DC and critical RF parameters.
These tests are performed at ambient temperature (+25°C). This test was performed at Hittite. There were no failures in
this test.
3.1.2 MSL1 260°C Reflow Preconditioning – 160 devices from 3.1.1 were subjected to 168 hours at 85°C/ 85% RH
then a reflow simulation at a peak temperature of 260°C for 3 passes (see Figure 1 for profile).
3.1.3 Temperature Cycle - 80 devices from 3.1.2 were subjected to 500 cycles of non-operating temperature cycling
from -65°C to 150°C. This test is performed at Hittite.
3.1.4 Final Electrical Test - 80 devices from 3.1.3 were electrically tested at ambient temperature to DC and critical
RF parameters. Any out of specification parameter is considered a failure. This test was performed at Hittite. There
were no relevant failures in this test.
3.1.5 Autoclave - 80 devices from 3.1.2 were subjected to 96 hours of humidity (100%), temperature (121°C) and
pressure (15 PSIG). This test is performed at Hittite using an Espec environmental chamber.
3.1.6 Final Electrical Test - 80 devices from 3.1.5 were electrically tested at ambient temperature to DC and critical
RF parameters. Any out of specification parameter is considered a failure. This test was performed at Hittite within 48
hours after removal from the chamber. There were no relevant failures in this test.

3.2 Package Mechanical Tests
3.2.1 Physical Dimensions - 15 devices were measured to the requirement of the data sheet package outline drawing.
These devices need not be electrically functional. Any out of specification parameter is considered a failure. This test is
performed at Hittite. There were no failures.
3.2.2 Solderability - 15 devices were subjected to the steam aging and solderability test in accordance with MIL-STD883 Method 2003. These devices need not be electrically functional. This test was performed at Hittite. There were no
failures.
