QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT 600 EVALUATION CARD FOR THE LTC1540 IN THE DFN PACKAGE LTC1540CDD DESCRIPTION Demonstration circuit 600 simplifies the evaluation of the LTC1540CDD comparator in the tiny, 3mm × 3mm, DFN (Dual in-line, Flat, No-leads) chip-scale package. Electrical performance of this LTC1540 is the same as previous versions. This version is only a packaging enhancement. About the LTC1540CDD An evaluation circuit can easily be built on this board without handling the tiny DFN device. Pads are provided for adding external components and holes are available for jumpers, signal I/O and supply wires. Supply bypass capacitors are already on the board. Alternatively adding two 4-pin headers (0.1" spacing) converts the board to a standard 8-pin DIP format for use with a socket on a second circuit board. Adjustable Hysteresis The LTC1540 is a Nano-power Voltage Comparator with a Built In Voltage Reference Ultra-low Quiescent Current of only 300nA 1.2V, 2% Tolerance Voltage Reference 50µsec Propagation Delay Input Voltage Range From V- to V+-1.3V Output Sources 40mA Total Supply Voltage Range: 2V to 11V The backside of this evaluation board is void of metal to allow wiring into an existing system with the board resting on top of other components.

REWORK GUIDELINES FOR DFN PACKAGES Each package mounting site should be reworked one at a time only, to ensure maximum quality and reliability. Linear Technology has found the following rework procedure to be effective with DFN packages but by no means excludes other methods more suited to specific manufacturing needs. Reflow Temperature Profile Each package site to be reworked should be individually heated. The reflow temperature profile can be established using a hot gas tool and a thermocouple embedded in the solder joints of a sample setup unit on the PCB. Preheating and Package Removal A package rework tool with vacuum pickup similar to the A.P.E. Flo-Master can be used. A bottom PCB heater is required to provide preheating of the PCB to approximately 110°C to 120°C. The rework nozzle must be centered with respect to the package in order to direct the hot gas flow over the top of the package while limiting the temperature of the adjacent components to prevent solder reflow. Site Rework With a combination on hot gas/vacuum desoldering tool and solder wick ribbons (if necessary), remove the package and any remaining solder residues. Use a minimal amount of flux if it is required to remove solder residue. This will also assist in leaving a smooth, flat surface for the reattachment of a replacement unit. The site for the package should be thoroughly cleaned with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and dried with clean dry air (CDA). Solder Paste Application Solder paste may be screen printed on to the package landing site and exposed heat sink pads. Stainless steel stencils are recommended for solder paste application. The printed solder deposits should be 100 percent inspected for uniformity of size and shape. Some applications may have severe space constraints preventing screen printing to be accomplished on the PCB. Therefore, solder paste can be directly applied to the packages landing site and exposed heatsink pad. The package is to be picked and placed using a vision aided system similar to the A.P.E. Sniper SMD 7007 Rework System. Reflow Process The replacement package, once it has been placed onto the reworked PCB landing site, should be reflowed on the PCB using a hot gas tool on the top of the package and a heater on the bottom of the PCB. The reflow temperature should not exceed 240°C. Note that liquidus temperature for 63/37 Sn/Pb solder is 183°C. Make sure to limit adjacent components to below the solder reflow temperature. The solder paste manufacturer’s recommended reflow temperature profile/specifications must be complied with to avoid damage to the PCB and/or adjacent components. A 100 percent post rework visual inspection for good joint wetting is recommended. 4
