MSL / ESD Rating ESD Rating: Value: Test: Standard: Class 1A Passes between 250 and 500V Human Body Model (HBM) JEDEC Standard JESD22-A114 MSL Rating: Level 3 at +260 °C convection reflow Standard: JEDEC Standard J-STD-020 Mounting Config. Notes Land Pattern 1. Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of this device. Vias should use a .35mm (#80 / .0135”) diameter drill and have a final plated thru diameter of .25 mm (.010”). 2. Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance. 3. Mounting screws can be added near the part to fasten the board to a heatsink. Ensure that the ground / thermal via region contacts the heatsink. 4. Do not put solder mask on the backside of the PC board in the region where the board contacts the heatsink. 5. RF trace width depends upon the PC board material and construction. 6. Use 1 oz. Copper minimum. 7. All dimensions are in millimeters (inches). Angles are in degrees.
