Intersil ISL8200M Complete current share 10a dc/dc power module Datasheet

ISL8200M
Features
The ISL8200M is a simple and easy to use high power,
current-sharing DC\DC power module for
Datacom\Telecom\FPGA power hungry applications. All
that is needed is the ISL8200M, a few passive
components and one VOUT setting resistor to have a
complete 10A design ready for market.
• Complete Switch Mode Power Supply in One Package
The ease of use virtually eliminates the design and
manufacturing risks while dramatically improving time
to market.
Need more output current? Just simply parallel up to six
ISL8200M modules to scale up to a 60A solution (see
Page 7, Figure 6).
The simplicity of the ISL8200M is in its "Off The Shelf",
unassisted implementation. Patented current sharing
in multi-phase operation greatly reduces ripple
currents, BOM cost and complexity.
The ISL8200M’s thermally enhanced, compact QFN
package, operates at full load and over-temperature,
without requiring forced air cooling. It's so thin it can
even fit on the back side of the PCB. Easy access to all
pins with few external components, reduces the PCB
design to a component layer and a simple ground
layer.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Analog Voltage Input - Used with VOUT to program the regulator output voltage. The typical input
impedance of VSEN1+ with respect to VSEN1- is 500kΩ. Voltage input typ. 0.6V.
VSEN_REM- Analog Voltage Input - This pin is the negative input of standard unity gain operational amplifier for
differential remote sense for the regulator, and should connect to the negative rail of the
load/processor. This pin can be used for VOUT trimming by connecting a resistor from this pin to the
VOUT_SET pin.
3
ISFETDRV
Digital Output - This pin is used to drive an optional NFET, which will connect ISHARE with the system
ISHARE bus upon completing a pre-bias startup. Voltage Output Range: 0V to 5V.
4, 15
PGND1
Normal Ground - All voltage levels are referenced to this pad.This pad provides a return path for the
low side MOSFET drives and internal power circuitries as well as all analog signals. PGND and PGND1
should be connected together with a ground plane.
5
ISET
Analog Current Output - This pin sources a 15µA offset current plus Channel 1’s average current. The
voltage (VISET) set by an external resistor (RISET) represents the average current level of the local
active module. For full-scale current, RISET should be ~10kΩ. Output current range: 15µA to 108µA
typ.

ISHARE
Analog Current Output - Cascaded system level over current shutdown pin. This pin is used where you
have multiple modules configured for current sharing and is used with a common current share bus.
The bus sums each of the modules' average current contribution to the load to protect for a over current
condition at the load. The pin sources 15µA plus average module's output current. The shared bus
voltage (VISHARE) is developed across an external resistor (RISHARE). VISHARE represents the
average current of all active channel(s) that connected together.
The ISHARE bus voltage is compared with each module's internal reference voltage set by each
module's RISET resistor. This will generate and individual current share error signal in each cascaded
controller. The share bus impedance RISHARE should be set as RISET/NCTRL, RISET divided by number
of active current sharing controllers. The output current from this pin generates a voltage across the
external resistor. This voltage, VISHARE, is compared to and internal 1.2V threshold for average
overcurrent protection. For full-scale current, RISHARE should be ~10kΩ . Typically 10kΩ is used for
RSHARE and RSET. Output Current Range: 15µA to 108µA typ.
7
FSYNC IN
Analog input Control Pin - An optional external resistor (RFS-ext) connected to this pin and ground will
increase the oscillator switching frequency. It has an internal 59kΩ resistor for a default frequency of
700kHz. The internal oscillator will lock to an external frequency source when connected to a square
wave form. The external source is typically the CLKOUT signal from another ISL8200M or an external
clock. The internal oscillator synchronizes with the leading positive edge of the input signal. Input
Voltage Range for external source: 0V to 5V Square Wave.
8
CLKOUT
Digital Voltage Output - This pin provides a clock signal to synchronize with other ISL8200M(s). When
there is more than one ISL8200M in the system, the two independent regulators can be programmed
via PH_CNTRL for different degrees of phase delay.
9
PH_CNTRL
Analog Input - The voltage level on this pin is used to program the phase shift of CLKOUT clock signal
to synchronize with other module(s).
10
ISHARE_BUS Open pin until first PWM pulse is generated. Then, via an internal FET, this pin connects the module’s
ISHARE to the system’s ISHARE bus after pre-bias is complete and soft-start is initiated.
11
FF
Analog Voltage Input - The voltages on this pin is fed into the controller, adjusting the sawtooth
amplitude to generate the feed-forward function. Voltage input 0.7 to VCC.
12
EN
This is a double function pin: Analog Input Voltage - The input voltage to this pin is compared with a
precision 0.8V reference and enables the digital soft-start. Input Voltage Range is 0V to VCC or VIN
through a pull up resistor maintaining a typical current of 5mA.
Analog Voltage Output - This pin can be used as a voltage monitor for input bus undervoltage lockout.
The hysteresis levels of the lockout can be programmed via this pin using a resistor divider network.
Furthermore, during fault conditions (such as overvoltage, overcurrent, and over-temperature), this
pin is used to communicate the information to other cascaded modules by pulling low the wired OR as
it is an Open Drain. Output Voltage Range is 0V to VCC.
13
VIN
Analog Voltage Input - This pin should be tied directly to the input rail when using the internal linear
regulator. It provides power to the internal linear drive circuitry. When used with an external 5V supply,
this pin should be tied directly to VCC. The internal linear device is protected against the reversed bias
generated by the remained charge of the decoupling capacitor at VCC when losing the input rail. Input
Voltage Range 0V to 20V.
14
PVCC
Analog Output - This pin is the output of the internal series linear regulator. It provides the bias for
both low-side and high-side drives. Its operational voltage range is 3V to 5.6V. The decoupling ceramic
capacitor in the PVCC pin is 10µF.
16
PHASE
17
PVIN
Analog Input - This input voltage is applied to the power FETS with the FET’s ground being the PGND
pin. It is recommended to place input decoupling capacitance, 22µF, directly between PVIN pin and
PGND pin as close as possible to the module. Input Voltage Range: 0V to 20V.
18
PGND
All voltage levels are referenced to this pad. This is the low side MOSFET ground. PGND and PGND1
should be connected together with a ground plane.
19

VCC
Analog Input - This pin provides bias power for the analog circuitry. It’s operational range is 2.97V to
5.6V. In 3.3V applications, VCC, PVCC and VIN should be shorted to allow operation at the low end
input as it relates to the VCC falling threshold limit. This pin can be powered either by the internal linear
regulator or by an external voltage source.
22
PGOOD
Analog Output - Provides an open drain Power Good signal when the output is within 9% of nominal
output regulation point with 4% hysteresis (13%/9%), and soft-start is complete. PGOOD monitors the
outputs (VMON1) of the internal differential amplifiers. Output Voltage Range: 0V to VCC.

Applications Information
Programming the Output Voltage (RSET)
The ISL8200M has an internal 0.6V ± 0.7% reference
voltage. Programming the output voltage requires a
dividing resistor (RSET) between VOUT_SET pin and
VOUT regulation point. The output voltage can be
calculated as shown in Equation 1:

The output voltage accuracy can be improved by
maintaining the impedance at VOUTSET (internal
VSEN1+) at or below 1kΩ effective impedance. Note: the
impedance between VSEN1+ and VSEN1- is about 500kΩ.
The module has minimum input voltage at a given output
voltage, which needs to be a minimum of 1.43 times
output voltage if operating at FSW = 700kHz switching
frequency. This is due to the Minimum PWM OFF Time
(tMIN-OFF).
The equation to determine the minimum VIN to support
the required VOUT is given by Equations 2 and 3:
V OUT × t SW
V IN_MIN = -----------------------------------------t SW – t MIN_OFF
(EQ. 2)
tSW = switching period = 1/FSW
for the 700kHz switching frequency = 1428ns
V IN_MIN = 1.43 × V OUT
(EQ. 3)
Selection of the Input Capacitor
The input filter capacitor should be based on how much
ripple the supply can tolerate on the DC input line. The
larger the capacitor, the less ripple expected, but
consideration should be taken for the higher surge
current during power-up. The ISL8200M provides the
soft-start function that controls and limits the current
surge. The value of the input capacitor can be calculated
by Equation 4:
I IN × Δt
C IN = ------------------ΔV
be needed if further reduction of output ripple or dynamic
transient spike is required.
Functional Description
Initialization
The ISL8200M requires VCC and PVCC to be biased by a
single supply. Power-On Reset (POR) circuits
continually monitor the bias voltages (PVCC and VCC)
and the voltage at EN pin. The POR function initiates
soft-start operation 384 clock cycles after the EN pin
voltage is pulled to be above 0.8V, all input supplies
exceed their POR thresholds and the PLL locking time
expires. The enable pin can be used as a voltage
monitor and to set desired hysteresis with an internal
30µA sinking current going through an external
resistor divider. The sinking current is disengaged after
the system is enabled. This feature is especially
designed for applications that require higher input rail
POR for better undervoltage protection. For example,
in 12V applications, RUP = 53.6k and RDOWN = 5.23k
will set the turn-on threshold (VEN_RTH) to 10.6V and
turn-off threshold (VEN_FTH) to 9V, with 1.6V
hysteresis (VEN_HYS).
During shutdown or fault conditions, the soft-start is
quickly reset while UGATE and LGATE immediately
change state (<100ns) upon the input dropping below
POR.

In addition to the bulk capacitance, some low Equivalent
Series Inductance (ESL) ceramic capacitance is
recommended to decouple between the drain terminal of
the high side MOSFET and the source terminal of the low
side MOSFET. This is used to reduce the voltage ringing
created by the switching current across parasitic circuit
elements.
Output Capacitors
The ISL8200M is designed for low output voltage ripple.
The output voltage ripple and transient requirements can
be met with bulk output capacitors (COUT) with low
enough Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR). COUT can be
a low ESR tantalum capacitor, a low ESR polymer
capacitor or a ceramic capacitor. The typical capacitance
is 330µF and decoupled ceramic output capacitors are
used per phase. The internally optimized loop
compensation provides sufficient stability margins for all
ceramic capacitor applications with a recommended total
value of 300µF per phase. Additional output filtering may
14
Voltage Feedforward
The voltage applied to the FF pin is fed to adjust the
sawtooth amplitude of the channel. The amplitude the
sawtooth is set to 1.25 times the corresponding FF
voltage when the module is enabled. This configuration
helps to maintain a constant gain
( G M = V IN ⋅ D MAX ⁄ ΔV RAMP ) and input voltage to achieve
optimum loop response over a wide input voltage range.
The sawtooth ramp offset voltage is 1V (equal to
0.8V*1.25), and the peak of the sawtooth is limited to
VCC - 1.4V. With VCC = 5.4V, the ramp has a maximum
peak-to-peak amplitude of VCC - 2.4V (equal to 3V); so
the feed-forward voltage effective range is typically 3x as
the ramp amplitude ranges from 1V to 3V.
A 384 cycle delay is added after the system reaches its
rising POR and prior to the soft-start. The RC timing at
the FF pin should be sufficiently small to ensure that the
input bus reaches its static state and the internal ramp
circuitry stabilizes before soft-start. A large RC could
cause the internal ramp amplitude not to synchronize
with the input bus voltage during output start-up or

when recovering from faults. A 1nF capacitor is
recommended as a starting value for typical application.
The voltage on the FF pin needs to be above 0.7V prior to
soft-start and during PWM switching to ensure reliable
regulation. In a typical application, FF pin can be shorted
to EN pin.
allowable pre-charged level is 113%. If the pre-charged
level is above 113% but below 120%, the output will
hiccup between 113% (LGATE turns on) and 87%
(LGATE turns off) while EN is pulled low. If the precharged load voltage is above 120% of the targeted
output voltage, then the controller will be latched off and
not be able to power-up.

The ISL8200M has an internal digital pre-charged
soft-start circuitry, which has a rise time inversely
proportional to the switching frequency and is
determined by an digital counter that increments with
every pulse of the phase clock. The full soft-start time

The ISL8200M has the ability to work under a precharged output. The PWM outputs will not feed to the
drivers until the first PWM pulse is seen. The low side
MOSFET is being held low for first clock cycle to provide
charge for the bootstrap capacitor. If the pre-charged
output voltage is greater than the final target level but
less than the 113% setpoint, switching will not start until
the output voltage is reduced to the target voltage and
the first PWM pulse is generated. The maximum

Since the EN pins are pulled down under fault conditions,

In a multi-module system, with the EN pins wired OR’ed
together, all modules can immediately turn off, at one

modules. A fault would pull the EN pin low, disabling all
the modules and would not creating current bounce.
Thus, no single channel would be over stressed when a
fault occurs.

Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
Power Good
The Power-Good comparators monitor the voltage on the
internal VMON1 pin. The trip points are shown in
Figure 26. PGOOD will not be asserted until after the
completion of the soft-start cycle. The PGOOD pulls low
upon both EN’s disabling it or the internal VMON1 pin’ s
voltage is out of the threshold window. PGOOD will not
be asserted until after the completion of the soft-start
cycle. PGOOD will not pull low until the fault presents for
three consecutive clock cycles.
The UV indication is not enabled until the end of
soft-start. In a UV event, if the output drops below
-13% of the target level due to some reason (cases
when EN is not pulled low) other than OV, OC, OT, and
PLL faults, PGOOD will be pulled low.

There is another non-latch OV protection (113% of
target level). At the condition of EN low and the output
over 113% OV, the lower side MOSFET will turn on until
the output drops below 87%. This is to protect the
overall power trains in case of a single channel of a
multi-module system detecting OV. The low-side MOSFET
always turns on at the conditions of EN = LOW and the
output voltage above 113% (all EN pins are tied
together) and turns off after the output drops below
87%. Thus, in a high phase count application
(multi-module mode), all cascaded modules can latch off
simultaneously via the EN pins (EN pins are tied together
in multiphase mode), and each IC shares the same sink
current to reduce the stress and eliminate the bouncing
among phases.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
-9%
When the junction temperature of the IC is greater than
+150°C (typically), EN pin will be pulled low to inform
other cascaded channels via their EN pins. All connected
ENs stay low and release after the IC’s junction
temperature drops below +125°C (typically), a +25°C
hysteresis (typically).
PGOOD latch off after 120% OV
FIGURE 26. POWER-GOOD THRESHOLD WINDOW
Current Share
The IAVG_CS is the current of the module. ISHARE and
ISET pins source a copy of IAVG_CS with 15µA offset,
i.e., the full scale will be 123µA.
The share bus voltage (VISHARE) set by an external
resistor (RISHARE = RISET/NCTRL) represents the
average current of all active modules. The voltage
(VISET) set by RISET represents the average current of
the corresponding module and is compared with the
share bus (VISHARE). The current share error signal
(ICSH_ER) is then fed into current correction block to
adjust each module’s PWM pulse accordingly. The current
share function provides at least 10% overall accuracy
between ICs, when using 1% resistor to sense 10mV
signal. The current share bus works for up to 6-phase.
When there is only one module in the system, the ISET
and ISHARE pins can be shorted together and
grounded via a single resistor to ensure zero share
error - a resistor value of 5k (paralleling 10k on ISET
and ISHARE) will allow operation up to the OCP level
16
OV protection is active from the beginning of
soft-start. An OV condition (>120%) would latch IC off
(the high-side MOSFET to latch off permanently; the
low-side MOSFET turns on immediately at the time of
OV trip and then turns off permanently after the output
voltage drops below 87%). The EN and PGOOD are
also latched low at OV event. The latch condition can
be reset only by recycling VCC.
VREF

PGOOD
The Overvoltage (OV) protection indication circuitry
monitor the voltage on the internal VMON1 pin.
Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
The OCP function is enabled at startup. The module’s
output current (ICS1) plus a fixed internal 15µA offset
forms a voltage (VISHARE) across the external resistor,
RISHARE. VISHARE is compared with a precision
internal 1.2V threshold. The Channel Overcurrent Limit
‘108µA OCP’ comparator, waits 7-cycles before
monitoring for an OCP condition.
In multi-module operation, by connecting modules’
ISHARE pin together, results in the VISHARE
representing the average current of all active channels.
The total system currents are compared with a
precision 1.2V threshold to determine the overcurrent
condition as well as each channel having additional
overcurrent trip point at 108µA with 7-cycle delay. This
scheme helps protect from damaging a module(s) in
multi-module mode by not having a single module
carrying more than 108µA. Note that it is not
necessary for the RISHARE to be scaled to trip at the
same level as the 108µA OCP comparator. Typically the
ISHARE pin average current protection level should be
higher than the phase current protection level. For
instance, when Channel 1 operates independently, the

minimum UGATE turn off time that is 350ns; RISHARE
in Equation 7 represents the total equivalent resistance
in ISHARE pin bus of all ICs in multiphase or module
parallel operation.
ISL8200M has a low-side FET with typical rDS(ON) of
9mΩ (VGS = 10V, IDS = 30A).
Note: ISL8200M has integrated 2.2kΩ resistance
(RSEN-IN). Therefore, the equivalent resistance of RSEN
is:
R SEN-EX × R SEN-IN
R SEN = -------------------------------------------------------R SEN-EX + R SEN-IN
In a high input voltage, high output voltage
application, such as 20V input to 5V output, the
inductor ripple becomes excessive due to the fix
internal inductor value. In such application, the output
current will be limited from the rating to approximately
70% of the module’s rated current.
(EQ. 7)
For overload and hard short condition, the overcurrent
protection reduces the regulator RMS output current
much less than full load by putting the controller into
hiccup mode. A delay time, equal to 3 soft-start
intervals, is entered to allow the disturbance to be
cleared out. After the delay time, the controller then
initiates a soft-start interval. If the output voltage
comes up and returns to the regulation, PGOOD
transitions high. If the OC trip is exceeded during the
soft-start interval, the controller pulls EN low again.
The PGOOD signal will remain low and the soft-start
interval will be allowed to expire. Another soft-start
interval will be initiated after the delay interval. If an
overcurrent trip occurs again, this same cycle repeats
until the fault is removed.
Oscillator
The OC trip point varies in a system mainly due to the
MOSFET rDS(ON) variations (over process, current and
temperature). To avoid overcurrent tripping in the normal
operating load range, find the RSEN resistor from
Equation 8 of IPEAK with:
1. The maximum rDS(ON) at the highest junction
temperature
2. The minimum ISOURCE from the “Electrical
Specifications” table on page 9.
3. Determine IOC for:

where ΔIL is the output inductor ripple current.

The Oscillator is a sawtooth waveform, providing for
leading edge modulation with 350ns minimum dead
time. The oscillator (Sawtooth) waveform has a DC
offset of 1.0V. Each channel’s peak-to-peak of the
ramp amplitude is set to proportional the voltage
applied to its corresponding FF pin.
Frequency Synchronization and Phase Lock
Loop
The FSYNC_IN pin has two primary capabilities: fixed
frequency operation and synchronized frequency
operation. By tying a resistor (RFS) to PGND1 from the
FSYNC_IN pin, the switching frequency can be set at
any frequency between 700kHz and 1.5MHz. ISL8200M
has integrated 59kΩ resistor between FSYNC_IN and
PGND1, which set the default frequency to 700kHz.
The frequency setting curve shown in Figure 27 is
provided to assist in selecting the an externally
connected resistor RFS-ext between FSYNC_IN and
PGND1 to increase the switching frequency.

FIGURE 27. RFS-ext vs SWITCHING FREQUENCY
By connecting the FSYNC_IN pin to an external square
pulse waveform (such as the CLKOUT signal, typically
50% duty cycle from another ISL8200M), the
ISL8200M will synchronize its switching frequency to
the fundamental frequency of the input waveform. The
maximum voltage to the FSYNC_IN pin is VCC + 0.3V.
The Frequency Synchronization feature will
synchronize the leading edge of the CLKOUT signal
with the falling edge of Channel 1’s PWM clock signal.
CLKOUT is not available until the PLL locks.
The locking time is typically 130µs for FSW = 500kHz.
EN is not released for a soft-start cycle until FSYNC is
stabilized and the PLL is in locking. It is recommended
to connect all EN pins together in multiphase
configuration.
The loss of a synchronization signal for 13 clock cycles
causes the IC to be disabled until the PLL returns
locking, at which point a soft-start cycle is initiated and
normal operation resumes. Holding FSYNC_IN low will
disable the IC.
Setting Relative Phase-Shift on CLKOUT
Depending upon the voltage level at PH_CNTRL, set by
the VCC resistor divider output, the ISL8200M operates
with CLKOUT phase shifted, as shown in Table 3. The
phase shift is latched as VCC raises above POR so it
cannot be changed on the fly.
TABLE 3.
• Place a high frequency ceramic capacitor between
(1) PVIN and PGND (pin 18) and (2) a 10µF between
PVCC and PGND1 (pin 15) as close to the module as
possible to minimize high frequency noise. High
frequency ceramic capacitors close to the module
between VOUT and PGND will help to minimize noise
at the output ripple.
• Use large copper areas for power path (PVIN, PGND,
VOUT) to minimize conduction loss and thermal
stress. Also, use multiple vias to connect the power
planes in different layers.
• Keep the trace connection to the feedback resistor
short.
• Use remote sensed traces to the regulation point to
achieve a tight output voltage regulation, and keep
them in parallel. Route a trace from VSEN_REM- to a
location near the load ground, and a trace from
feedback resistor to the point-of-load where the tight
output voltage is desire.
• Avoid routing any sensitive signal traces, such as the
VOUT and VSENREM- sensing point near the PHASE
pin.
• FSYNC_IN is a sensitive pin. If it not use for
receiving external synchronization signal, then keep
the trace connecting to the pin short. A bypass
capacitor value 100pF connecting between
FSYNC_IN pin and GND1 can help to bypass the
noise sensitivity on the pin.

Thermal Considerations
Experimental power loss curves along with θJA from
thermal modeling analysis can be used to evaluate the
thermal consideration for the module. The derating
curves are derived from the maximum power allowed
while maintaining the temperature below the maximum
junction temperature of +125°C. In actual application,
other heat sources and design margin should be
considered.
Package Description
The structure of ISL8200M belongs to the Quad Flatpack No-lead package (QFN). This kind of package has
advantages, such as good thermal and electrical
conductivity, low weight and small size. The QFN
package is applicable for surface mounting technology
and is being more readily used in the industry. The
ISL8200M contains several types of devices, including
resistors, capacitors, inductors and control ICs. The
ISL8200M is a copper lead-frame based package with
exposed copper thermal pads, which have good
electrical and thermal conductivity. The copper lead
frame and multi component assembly is overmolded
with polymer mold compound to protect these devices.

The package outline and typical PCB layout pattern
design and typical stencil pattern design are shown in the
package outline drawing L23.15x15 on page 22. The
module has a small size of 15mm x 15mm x 2.2mm.
Figure 33 shows typical reflow profile parameters. These
guidelines are general design rules. Users could modify
parameters according to their application.
PCB Layout Pattern Design
The bottom of ISL8200M is a lead-frame footprint, which
is attached to the PCB by surface mounting process. The
PCB layout pattern is shown in the Package Outline
Drawing L23.15x15 on page 22. The PCB layout pattern
is essentially 1:1 with the QFN exposed pad and I/O
termination dimensions, except for the PCB lands being a
slightly extended distance of 0.2mm (0.4mm max)
longer than the QFN terminations, which allows for solder
filleting around the periphery of the package. This
ensures a more complete and inspectable solder joint.
The thermal lands on the PCB layout should match 1:1
with the package exposed die pads.

Thermal Vias
Reflow Parameters
A grid of 1.0mm to 1.2mm pitch thermal vias, which
drops down and connects to buried copper plane(s),
should be placed under the thermal land. The vias should
be about 0.3mm to 0.33mm in diameter with the barrel
plated to about 1.0 ounce copper. Although adding more
vias (by decreasing via pitch) will improve the thermal
performance, diminishing returns will be seen as more
and more vias are added. Simply use as many vias as
practical for the thermal land size and your board design
rules allow.
Due to the low mount height of the QFN, "No Clean" Type 3
solder paste per ANSI/J-STD-00 is recommended. Nitrogen
purge is also recommended during reflow. A system board
reflow profile depends on the thermal mass of the entire
populated board, so it is not practical to define a specific
soldering profile just for the QFN. The profile given in
Figure 33 is provided as a guideline, to be customized for
varying manufacturing practices and applications.

250
TEMPERATURE (°C)
Reflowed solder joints on the perimeter I/O lands should
have about a 50µm to 75µm (2mil to 3mil) standoff
height. The solder paste stencil design is the first step in
developing optimized, reliable solder joins. Stencil
aperture size to land size ratio should typically be 1:1. The
aperture width may be reduced slightly to help prevent
solder bridging between adjacent I/O lands. To reduce
solder paste volume on the larger thermal lands, it is
recommended that an array of smaller apertures be used
instead of one large aperture. It is recommended that the
stencil printing area cover 50% to 80% of the PCB layout
pattern. A typical solder stencil pattern is shown in the
Package Outline Drawing L23.15x15 on page 22. The gap
width between pad to pad is 0.6mm. The user should
consider the symmetry of the whole stencil pattern when
designing its pads. A laser cut, stainless steel stencil with
electropolished trapezoidal walls is recommended.
Electropolishing “smooths” the aperture walls resulting in
reduced surface friction and better paste release which
reduces voids. Using a trapezoidal section aperture (TSA)
also promotes paste release and forms a "brick like" paste
deposit that assists in firm component placement. A
0.1mm to 0.15mm stencil thickness is recommended for
this large pitch (1.3mm) QFN.
