APPLICATION NOTE
Introduction
1.1. About this Application Note
1.3. Features
This application note is about Motion SPM® 5 Series
Version 2 products. It should be used in conjunction with
the datasheet, reference designs, and related application
notes listed in Related Resources. This note focuses on the
difference between Version 2 and the previous versions of
SPM parts, with emphasis on new IC functions
The detailed features and integrated functions are:
 Variety of products with different voltage and power
ratings: 250/500/600 V 3-phase FRFET
inverter ,including HVICs
 Three divided negative DC-link terminals for leg current
sensing
1.2. Design Concept
 HVIC for gate driving of FRFET, under-voltage
protection, and thermal sensing functions
The key design objective of the SPM 5 series is to provide a
compact and reliable inverter solution for small power
motor drive applications. Ongoing efforts have improved
the performance, quality, and power rating of SPM 5 series
products and the Version 2 products are the latest results of
these enhancements. The new features include temperaturesensing capability, built-in bootstrap diodes, and upgraded
ruggedness. Two higher power rating devices based on
super-junction MOSFET technology are added to cover
higher power rating applications without significantly
increasing cost.
 3.3/5 V Schmitt trigger input with active HIGH logic
 Built-in bootstrap diodes
 Single-grounded power supply and optocoupler-less
interface due to built-in HVIC
 Minimized standby current of HVIC for energy regulation
 Packages; DIP, SMD, Double-DIP, Zigzag-DIP
 Isolation voltage rating of 1500 VRMS for 1 minute
The MOSFETs in SPM 5 series are specially processed to
reduce the amount of body-diode reverse recovery charge to
minimize the switching loss and enable fast switching
operations. Softness of the reverse-recovery characteristics
is managed through advanced MOSFET design with
optimized gate resistor selections to contain Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) noise within a reasonable range.
 Moisture Sensitive Level 3 (MSL3) for SMD package
SPM 5 series has six fast-recovery MOSFETs (FRFET®)
and three high-voltage half-bridge gate drive ICs. These
MOSFETs and HVICs are not available as discrete parts.
An FRFET-based power module has much better
ruggedness and a larger safe operation area (SOA) than
IGBT-based module or Silicon-On-Insulator modules.
The FRFET-based power module has a big advantage in
light-load efficiency over IGBT-based because the voltage
drop across the transistor decreases linearly as current
decrease, whereas IGBT Vce saturation voltage stays at the
threshold level. Some applications require continuous
operation at light load except short transients and improving
the efficiency in the light-load condition is the key to saving
energy. Refrigerators, water circulation pumps, and some
fans are good examples.
The temperature-sensing function of version 2 products is
implemented in the HVIC to enhance system reliability. An
analog voltage proportional to the temperature of the HVIC
is provided for monitoring the module temperature and
necessary protections against over-temperature situations.
Three internal bootstrap diodes with resistive characteristics
reduce the number of external components and make the
PCB design more compact, beneficial when designing an
inverter built inside the motor.

As can be seen from Table 2, version s “V2” products have
at least the same or lower RDS_max compared with the
predecessors; lower RDS_max values than older version are in
red. Old version products were not released at the same time,
and, therefore, there are differences even within the same
version products. V2 products are being released at the same
time with consistent features. V2 products are more rugged
than previous versions in many respects.

2.2. Product Line-up
Table 1 shows the basic line up without package variations.

VCC-COM and VB-VS surge noise immunity level
increased about 50%. In other words, when a singlesurge pulse comes in between these pins, V2 products
endure 50% higher surge voltage without malfunction.
 Destruction level against surge pulses consecutively
coming in between Vb and VS improved significantly.
 Problems associated with intermittent latch-on/off due
to manufacturing issue have been resolved. Previous
version products have been updated accordingly.
VCC quiescent current increased due to the TSU function. It
does not have much effect on selecting the bootstrap
capacitor value, but stand-by power is increased by about
2.1 mW. There is no change in quiescent current of VBS.

Major differences between Version 2 and previous
versions are red in the internal circuit diagram in Figure 2.
Though some old versions also have these features,
Version 2 widely adopts these features. Main differences
are Vts, internal connections between VS and sources of
high-side FRFETs, and internal bootstrap diodes. The Vts

These are drive power supply pins for providing gate
drive power to the high-side MOSFETs.
The advantage of the bootstrap scheme is that no
separate external power supplies are required to drive
the high-side MOSFETs.
Each bootstrap capacitor is generally charged from the
VCC supply during the on-state of the corresponding
low-side MOSFET.

3.3. Package Structure
Figure 4 shows the internal package structure, including the
lead frame and bonding wires. This design has been revised
several times to further improve the manufacturability and
the reliability for customers.
These pins control the operation of the MOSFETs.
These pins are activated by voltage input signals. The
terminals are internally connected to the Schmitt
trigger circuit.
The signal logic of these pins is active HIGH; the
MOSFET turns ON when sufficient logic voltage is
applied to the associated input pin.
The wiring of each input needs to be short to protect the
module against noise influences.
An RC filter can be used to mitigate signal oscillations
or any noise that traces of input signals may pick up.

This indicates the temperature of the V-phase HVIC

APPLICATION NOTE
Integrated Functions and Protection Circuit
control supply and the input signal during power supply
startup or shutdown. In addition, pull-down resistors are
built into each input circuit. Therefore, external pull-down
resistors are not typically needed and the number of external
components is smaller as a result. The input noise filter
inside the HVIC suppresses short pulse noise and prevents
the MOSFET from malfunction and excessive switching
loss. Furthermore, by lowering the turn-on and turn-off
threshold voltages of the input signal, as shown in Table 5, a
direct connection to 3.3 V-class MCU or DSP is possible.

Figure 13. Internal Block Diagram of HVIC
Figure 13 shows the block diagram of the internal structure
of the HVIC inside Motion SPM 5 Series V2 products. Gate
signal input pins have internal 500 kΩ (typical) pull-down
resistors. The weak pull-down reduces standby power
consumption. If there is any concern for malfunction due to
noise associated with layout, additional pull-down resistors
of 4.7 kΩ, for example, are recommended close to the
module input pins. RC filters can be used instead of pulldowns to reduce noise and narrow pulses as well. Keep in
mind that this filter introduces some distortion of PWM
volt-second because the ON/OFF threshold levels are not
symmetrical within the supplied voltage.
Figure 14 shows an example of PWM input interface circuit
from the microcontroller (MCU) to Motion SPM 5 Series
products. The input logic is active HIGH and, because there
are built-in pull-down resistors of 500 kΩ, external pulldown resistors are not typically needed.

It is very important that all control circuits and power
supplies should be referred to COM terminal of the module
and not to the N power terminal. In general, it is best
practice to make the common reference (COM) a ground
plane in the PCB layout. The main control power supply is
also connected to the bootstrap circuits that are used to
establish the floating supplies for the high-side gate drives.
When control supply voltage (VCC and VBS) falls below
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) level, HVIC turns off the
MOSFETs while disregarding gate control input signals.
Motion SPM 5 Series products employ active-HIGH input
logic. This removes the sequence restriction between the

High-frequency noise on the supply might cause the internal
control IC to malfunction and generate erroneous signals.
To avoid these problems, the maximum ripple on the supply
should be less than ±1 V/µs. In addition, it may be
necessary to connect a 20 V/1 W Zener diode (for example,
1N4747A) across the control supply to prevent surge
destruction under severe conditions.

Control and gate drive power for SPM 5 Series V2 products
is normally provided by a single 15 V DC supply connected
to the module VCC and COM terminals. For proper
operation, this voltage should be regulated to 15 V 10%
and its current supply should be larger than 260 µA for SPM
product, excluding other circuitry. Table 6 describes the
behavior of the SPM parts for various control supply
voltages. The control supply should be well filtered with a
low impedance electrolytic capacitor and a high-frequency
decoupling capacitor connected right at the pins.

As shown in Figure 13, the input signal integrates a 500 kΩ
(typical) pull-down resistor. Therefore, when using an
external filtering resistor between the MCU output and the
Motion SPM® input, attention should be paid to the signal
voltage drop at the input terminals to satisfy the turn-on
threshold voltage requirement. For instance, R=100 Ω and
C=1 nF can be used for the parts shown dotted in Figure 14.

APPLICATION NOTE
New Parameter Design Guidance
As temperature decreases further below 0ºC, Vts decreases
linearly until it reaches zero volts. If the temperature of
HVIC increases above 150ºC, which is above the maximum
operating temperature, Vts increases (theoretically) up to
5.2 V until it gets clamped by the internal Zener diode.
5.1. Thermal Sensing Unit (TSU)
The junction temperature of power devices should not
exceed the maximum junction temperature. Even though
there is some margin between the Tjmax specified on the
datasheet and the Tjmax at which power devices are
destroyed, attention should be paid to ensure the junction
temperature stays well below the Tjmax. One of the
inconveniences in using previous versions of SPM 5 Series
products was lack of temperature monitoring or protection
feature inside the module. An NTC had to be mounted on
the heat sink or very close to the module if over-temperature
protection was required in the application.
Figure 17 shows the equivalent circuit diagram of TSU
inside the IC and a typical application diagram. This output
voltage is clamped to 5.2 V by an internal Zener diode, but
if the maximum input range of analog-to-digital converter of
MCU is below 5.2 V, an external Zener diode should be
inserted between an A/D input pin and the analog ground
pin of MCU. An amplifier can be used to change the range
of voltage input to the analog-to-digital converter to have
better resolution of the temperature. It is recommended to
add a ceramic capacitor of 1000 pF between VTS and COM
(ground) to make the Vts more stable. If VCC is not supplied
for any reason, Vts is longer available.
Thermal Sensing Unit (TSU) uses the technology based on
the temperature dependency of transistor Vbe; Vbe decreases
2 mV as temperature increases 1ºC.
The TSU analog voltage output reflects the temperature of
the HVIC in Motion SPM 5 Series products. The
relationship between Vts output and HVIC temperature is
shown in Figure 16. It does not have any self-protection
function and, therefore, it should be used appropriately
based on application requirement. Note that there is a time
lag from MOSFET temperature to HVIC temperature. It is
very difficult to respond quickly when temperature rises
sharply in a transient condition, such as load step changes.
Even though TSU has limitations, it is definitely useful in
enhancing the system reliability.

Figure 18 shows the sourcing capability of VTS pin at 25 ºC

Figure 16. Temperature vs. Vts
The relationship between Vts and V-phase HVIC
temperature can be expressed as the following equation:
VTS [V] = 0.0192*THVIC [ºC] + 0.31 ±0.19
(1)
The maximum variation of Vts due to process variation is
±0.19 V, which is equivalent ±10ºC. This amount is
constant, regardless of the temperature because the slopes of
three lines in Figure 16 are identical. If the ambient
temperature information is available, for example, through
NTC in the system, Vts can be measured to adjust the offset
before the motor starts to operate.

Figure 19 shows that the V-phase HVIC temperature
inferred from VTS follows closely the case temperature, TC,
with some lag. The amount of loss in a single MOSFET in a
given operating condition can be calculated by Fairchild’s
online loss and temperature simulation tool, available at:
http://www.fairchildsemi.com/support/design-tools/motioncontrol-design-tool/. By using the loss from this simulation
and the thermal resistance value on the datasheet, together
with TSU, the junction temperature can be estimated and
controlled to stay below the target junction temperature.

There are four variables with two equations and, therefore,
set both variables as desired. Ru, the pull-up resistor for VO,
can be chosen to be 10 kΩ. R2 can be 1 kΩ, considering
VREF is below one half of the supply voltage, which is 5 V in
this example, and R1 needs to be bigger than R2. A
Microsoft® Excel® Solver can be used to get the answer of
R1=1364 Ω and Rf= 3952 Ω. Close standard resistor values
would be 1.37 kΩ and 3.92 kΩ. These two resistor values
result in VTS_off of 2.225 V, which is 99.7°C and VTS_on of
1.839 V, which is 79.6°C.

TIME [min]
Operation of Bootstrap Circuit
The VBS voltage, which is the voltage difference between
VB (U, V, W) and VS (U, V, W), provides the supply to the
HVIC within Motion SPM 5 Series V2 products. This
supply must be in the range of 13.5 V~16.5 V to ensure that
the HVIC can fully drive the high-side MOSFET. The
SPM5 V2 products include under-voltage lockout protection
for VBS to ensure that the HVIC does not drive the high-side
MOSFET if the VBS voltage drops below the specific
voltage shown on the datasheet. This function prevents the
MOSFET from operating in a high-dissipation mode.
Figure 19. OTP Test in Real Application
Figure 20 is an example of over-temperature protection
circuit using the Vts signal. A comparator with hysteresis is
used to create a low active OT signal that can be read by a
microprocessor. Based on this signal, the microprocessor
can disable or enable PWM output. Calculate the resistor
values to make the upper threshold level 100ºC and the
lower threshold level 80ºC so that the comparator output
voltage VO matches the waveform in Figure 21.

The VBS floating supply can be generated in a number of
ways, including the bootstrap method shown in Figure 22.
This method is simple and inexpensive; however, the duty
cycle and on-time are limited by the need to refresh the
charge in the bootstrap capacitor. The bootstrap supply is
formed by a combination of bootstrap diode, resistor, and
capacitor, as shown in Figure 22.

The current flow path of the bootstrap circuit is show in

through the low-side power device or the load), the
bootstrap capacitor, CBS, is charged through the bootstrap
diode (DBS) and the resistor from the VCC supply. The

Figure 23. Bootstrap Circuit Charging Path
Built-in Bootstrap Diode
When the high-side MOSFET or body diode conducts, the
bootstrap diode (DBS) supports the entire bus voltage, so a
diode with withstand voltage of more than 500 V is
required. It is important that this diode has a recovery time
of less than 100 ns characteristic to minimize the amount of
charge fed back from the bootstrap capacitor into the VCC
supply. The bootstrap resistor is necessary to slow down the
dVBS/dt and limit initial charging current (Icharge) of the
bootstrap capacitor.
Initial Charging of Bootstrap Capacitor
Adequate on-time of the low-side MOSFET to fully charge
the bootstrap capacitor is required before normal operation
of PWM starts. Figure 25 shows an example of initial
bootstrap charging sequence. Once VCC establishes, VBS
must be charged by turning on low-side MOSFETs. PWM
signals are typically generated by an interrupt triggered by a
timer with a fixed interval based on the switching carrier
frequency. Therefore, it is desired to maintain this structure
without creating complementary high-side PWM signals.
Figure 24 shows the built-in bootstrap diodes of SPM5 V2
products’ special VF characteristics to be used without
additional bootstrap resistors. Therefore, only external
bootstrap capacitors are needed to make a bootstrap circuit.
The capacitance of VCC should be sufficient to supply
necessary charge to VBS capacitance of all three phases. If
normal PWM operations start before VBS reaches the undervoltage lockout reset level, high-side MOSFETs do not
switch accordingly without creating any fault signal. This
may lead to a failure of motor start in some applications.

APPLICATION NOTE
Selection of Bootstrap Capacitor
The bootstrap capacitance can be calculated by:
If three phases are charged synchronously, initial charging
current through a single shunt resistor may exceed the overcurrent protection level. In that case, a sequential charging
among three phases is more appropriate.
CBS 
The initial charging time (tcharge) can be calculated from the
following equation:
t charge  CBS  (RBS  RDS _ ON ) 
VCC
1
 ln(
)

VCC  VBS (min)  VF  VLS
ILeak  t
VBS
(5)
where:
Δt:
maximum on pulse width of high-side MOSFET;
ΔVBS: allowable discharge voltage (voltage ripple) of the
CBS; and
ILeak: maximum discharge current of the CBS, including:
 Gate charge for turning the HS MOSFET on
 Quiescent current to the HS circuit in the HVIC
 Level-shift charge required by level-shifters in
HVIC
 Leakage current in the bootstrap diode
 CBS capacitor leakage current (can be ignored for
non-electrolytic capacitors)
 Bootstrap diode reverse-recovery charge.
Practically, 1 mA of ILeak is recommended for Motion
SPM®5 Series V2 products. By considering dispersion and
reliability, the capacitance is generally selected to be twice
the calculated one. The CBS is only charged when the highside MOSFET is off and the VS voltage is pulled down to
ground. Therefore, the on-time of the low-side MOSFET
must be sufficient to ensure that the charge drawn from the
CBS capacitor can be fully replenished. Hence, there is an
inherent minimum on-time for the low-side MOSFET (or
off-time of the high-side MOSFET).
(4)
where:
VF:
forward-voltage drop across the bootstrap diode;
VBS(min): minimum value of the bootstrap capacitor;
VLS:
voltage drop across the low-side MOSFET or
load; and
δ:
duty ratio of PWM (0 – 1).
VF is actually not a constant and varies depending on the
amount of bootstrap charging current. VLS changes by the
magnitude and direction of the phase output current in
normal operation. RDS_ON drop by bootstrap charging current
must be considered because phase output current can be
assumed to zero at initial charging. VLS can be regarded as
zero and RDS_ON needs to be part of RC time constant. In
that case, VF needs to set as approximately 1 V, which is the
value of a non-resistive diode, and RBS needs to be 15 Ω.
Figure 26 and Figure 27 show real waveforms of the initial
bootstrap capacitor charging. Figure 26 is with 1 µF
capacitor and Figure 27 is with 47 µF capacitor to
demonstrate two extreme cases. In Figure 26, bootstrap
voltage charges to 13 V in 25 µs, but in Figure 27 it takes
several ms at 50% duty. The initial peak current values are
about 1 A, which can be expected from Figure 24.
Bootstrap Capacitance Calculation Examples
Examples of bootstrap capacitance calculation:
ILeak = 1.0 mA (recommended value)
ΔVBS = 0.1 V (recommended value)
Δt = Maximum on pulse width of high-side MOSFET =
0.2 ms. (depends on user system)

Note:
4. This capacitance value can be changed according to the
switching frequency, the type of capacitor used, and
recommended VBS voltage of 13.5~16.5 V (from
datasheet). The above result is a calculation example
and should be changed according to the actual control
method and lifetime of component.

Notes:
1. Gate signal inputs are active-HIGH with 500 kΩ internal
pull-down resistors. However, an additional 4.7 kΩ pulldown resistor is recommended for each gate signal
input to prevent malfunction induced by switching noise.
2.
Shorter traces are desirable between the
microprocessor and the power module. If necessary, RC
filters can be employed on gate signals to suppress
noise coupled from power traces and remove very
narrow pulses. RC values should be selected for input
signals to be compatible with the turn-on and turn-off
threshold voltages. Keep in mind that this RC filter may
alter the timing of PWM and the resulting volt-second.
3.
Each HVIC needs to have a 1 µF cermaic capacitor
close to VCC pin and possibly to the COM pin to supply
instantaneous power. An electrolytic capacitor of 10 µF
is required to supply stable VCC voltage to the module. A
Zener diode can be used in parallel to ensure VCC does
not increase beyond a certain voltage at surge events.
4.
A high-frequency non-inductive capacitor, C3, of around
0.1~0.22 µF/600 V should be placed very close to the

APPLICATION NOTE
If the snubber capacitor is installed in location A in Figure
35, it cannot suppress the surge voltage effectively due to
parasitic impedance of the traces between the capacitor and
the module. If the capacitor is installed in location B, surge
suppression is more effective because the snubber capacitor
is connected right at the module power pins. However, in
case a single shunt resistor is used for phase current
reconstruction or over-current protection, the voltage across
the shunt resistor cannot correctly reflect the DC bus current
information consumed by the module and, therefore, the
current feedback signal is distorted. The C position is a
reasonable compromise with better suppression than
location A, without impacting the current sensing signal
accuracy. For this reason, location C is generally used.
6.1. Recommended Wiring of Shunt Resistor
External current-sensing resistors are applied to detect phase
current. A longer pattern between the shunt resistor and
SPM pins cause large surge voltages that might damage
built-in ICs and distort the sensing signals. To decrease the
pattern inductance, the wiring between the shunt resistor and
SPM pins should be as short as possible. Parasitic
impedance between the shunt resistor and the power module
pins should be less than 10 nH, which results from a trace in
3 mm width, 20 mm length, and 1 oz thickness.
6.2. Snubber Capacitor
As shown in Figure 35, snubber capacitors should be
carefully located to suppress surge voltages effectively. A
0.1~0.22 µF snubber capacitor is generally a recommended.

APPLICATION NOTE
Because Motion SPM 5 Series does not have screw holes,
flatness of the top surface is not specified on the datasheet.
But because of its compact size, warpage is below several
tens of µm. Special methods are required to install a heat
sink, as shown in Figure 39.
6.4. Heat Sink Mounting
Recommended Cooling Method
Motion SPM 5 Series does not have screw holes for
mounting a heat sink on top of the module because it is a
very compact device aiming for small power applications.
However, if it is desired to extend the power capability of
the module by attaching a heat sink, this section introduces
several methods. Temperature rise of power semiconductors
is coming from the non-ideal aspects of switching devices;
such as IGBT, MOSFET, and diode. When the switching
device turns on, the forward-voltage drop results in
conduction loss and the finite rise and fall time of current
and voltage during the switching period create switching
loss. These power losses make the junction temperature, as
well as the case temperature, rise and the thermal resistance
of each package plays an important role, as shown in the
formula:
TJ-TC = (Power loss) x
(Thermal Resistance between Junction-to-Case)
Adhesive material with high thermal conductivity, such as
Loctite® 384, can be used to fix the heat sink on the top
surface, as shown in Figure 39(a).
Another way to mount a heat sink is to use screws
throughout the PCB and the heat sink as shown in Figure
39(b). SPM 5 products should be soldered first. Excessive
torque may bend the PCB.
Fairchild has developed a special metal strip that fits in the
slit on the bottom side of SPM5 package, as shown in
Figure 39(c). The heat sink can be mounted on the module
first before the soldering process.
A heat sink with leads can be used, as shown in Figure
39(d). Keep good contact between the top surface of the
module and the heat sink during the soldering process.
(7)
Using the chassis for heat-sink, as shown in Figure 39(e),
can be an effective solution for built-in applications. But it
is difficult to maintain mechanical accuracy in assembly and
flexible thermal interface material is often used to fill the
gap between module and the chassis.
Therefore, to decrease the case temperature and increase the
SOA area, total thermal resistance and power losses must be
minimized. Heat-sink, one of the most popular cooling
methods of power devices, decreases the thermal resistance
between the package case and the ambient. A heat-sink can
improve the thermal performance by spreading the heat to
the ambient more effectively. Anything with comparably
high thermal conductivity can be used as a heat-sink. For
example, even a PCB pattern can be a heat-sink if it has
enough cooling areas. DIP without stand-offs and SMD
products can benefit from this cooling area contacting the
bottom-side of the module on the PCB. Thicker and wider
patterns of power pins are useful in a similar fashion. Figure
37 shows a typical test board for Motion SPM 5 Series
without cooling area. Figure 38 shows a test board with
cooling area on the PCB surfacing the bottom side of the
module and with wider traces for power pins.

APPLICATION NOTE
Silicon Thermal Compound
Silicone thermal compound, also called thermal grease,
should be applied between the heat sink and the flat surface
of the SPM 5 Series to fill microscopic air gaps due to
imperfect flatness that ultimately reduce the contact thermal
resistance. Thermal conductivity of thermal compound is
about 0.5 – 10 W/(mK) and far greater than that of air
(0.024), but far smaller than that of metal (Aluminum 220,
Copper 390). It should not be used too much; a uniform
layer of 100 ~ 200 µm thickness is desired.
Figure 41 shows the test bench setup and the case
temperature comparison result. FSB50450A shows
outstanding thermal performance compared to its
competition in the same operating conditions.
6.5. System Performance
A fan motor for an air-conditioner indoor unit has been
tested to provide comparison data between Motion SPM 5
Series V2 and competitive products.
Figure 40 illustrates the power loss of single power device,
such as MOSFET or IGBT. FSB50450A (Motion SPM 5
Series V2 – 500 V / 1.5 A) shows the lowest conduction
loss and switching loss compared to competitive products in
the same operating conditions. This lowest power loss with
Motion SPM 5 Series V2 means better energy efficiency in
the system.

APPLICATION NOTE
Handling Guide and Packing Information
8.1. Handling Precautions
When using semiconductors, the incidence of thermal
and/or mechanical stress to the devices due to improper
handling may result in significant deterioration of their
electrical characteristics and/or reliability.
Transportation
Handle the device and packaging material with care. To
avoid damage to the device, do not toss or drop. During
transport, ensure that the device is not subjected to
mechanical vibration or shock. Avoid getting devices wet.
Moisture can adversely affect the packaging (by nullifying
the effect of the antistatic agent). Place the devices in
special conductive trays. When handling devices, hold the
package and avoid touching the leads, especially the gate
terminal. Put package boxes in the correct direction. Putting
them upside down, leaning them, or giving them uneven
stress can cause the electrode terminals to be deformed or
the resin case to be damaged. Throwing or dropping the
packaging boxes can cause the devices to be damaged.
Wetting the packaging boxes might cause the breakdown of
devices when operating. Pay attention not to wet them when
transporting on a rainy or snowy day.
Storage
1. Avoid locations where devices might be exposed to
moisture or direct sunlight. (Be especially careful
during periods of rain or snow.)
2.
Do not place the device cartons upside down. Stack the
cartons on top of one another in an uprighrt position
only. Do not place cartons on their sides.
3.
The storage area temperature should be maintained
within a range of 5°C to 35°C, with humidity kept
within the range from 40% to 75%.
4.
Do not store devices in the presence of harmful
(especially corrosive) gases or in dusty conditions.
5.
Use storage areas with minimal temperature fluctuation.
Rapid temperature changes can cause moisture
condensation, resulting in lead oxidation or corrosion,
which degrades lead solderability.
6.
When repacking devices, use antistatic containers.
Unused devices should be stored less than one month.
7.
Do not allow external forces or loads to be applied to
the devices while they are in storage.
4.
Place a conductive mat over the floor of the work area
or take other appropriate measures, so that the floor
surface is grounded to earth and is protected against
electrostatic electricity.
5.
Cover the workbench surface with a conductive mat,
grounded to earth, to disperse electrostatic electricity on
the surface through resistive components. Workbench
surfaces must not be constructed of low-resistance
metallic material that allows rapid static discharge
when a charged device touches it directly.
6.
Ensure that work chairs are protected with an antistatic
textile cover and are grounded to the floor surface with
a grounding chain.
7.
Install antistatic mats on storage shelf surfaces.
8.
For transport and temporary storage of devices, use
containers that are made of antistatic materials or
materials that dissipate static electricity.
9.
Make sure cart surfaces that come into contact with
device packaging are made of materials that conduct
static electricity and are grounded to the floor surface
with a grounding chain.
11. Operators must wear a wrist strap grounded to earth
through a resistor of about 1 MΩ.
12. If tweezers are likely to touch the device terminals, use
an antistatic type and avoid metallic tweezers. If a
charged device touches such a low-resistance tool, a
rapid discharge can occur. When using vacuum
tweezers, attach a conductive chucking pad at the tip
and connect it to a dedicated ground used expressly for
antistatic purposes.
13. When storing device-mounted circuit boards, use a
board container or bag protected against static charge.
Keep them separated from each other and do not stack
them directly on top of one another to prevent static
charge / discharge due to friction.
14. Ensure that articles (such as clip boards) that are
brought into static electricity control areas are
constructed of antistatic materials as much as possible.
15. In cases where the human body comes into direct
contact with a device, be sure finger cots or gloves
protected against static electricity are worn at all times.
Electrical Shock
A device undergoing electrical measurement poses the
danger of electrical shock. Do not touch the device unless
sure that the power to the measuring instrument is off.
Be aware of the risk of moisture absorption by the
products after unpacking moisture-proof packaging.

Rev. 1.0.1 • 4/16/14
Be sure that all equipment, jigs, and tools in the
working area are grounded to earth.
10. Operators must wear antistatic clothing and conductive
shoes (or a leg or heel strap).
Environment
1. When humidity in the working environment decreases,
the human body and other insulators can easily become
charged with electrostatic electricity due to friction.
Maintain the recommended humidity of 40% to 60% in
the work environment.

APPLICATION NOTE
Circuit Board Coating
When using devices in equipment requiring high reliability
or in extreme environments (where moisture, corrosive gas,
or dust is present), circuit boards can be coated for
protection. However, before doing so, carefully examine the
possible effects of stress and contamination that may result.
There are many and varied types of coating resins whose
selection is, in most cases, based on experience. However,
because device-mounted circuit boards are used in various
ways, factors such as board size, board thickness, and the
effects that components have on one another; makes it
practically impossible to predict the thermal and mechanical
stresses to which the semiconductor devices are subjected.
