Human Body Model (HBM), JESD22-A114 3. ESD Rating : Class IV (Passes at 1000V min.) Charged Device Model (CDM), JESD22-C101 4. MSL (Moisture Sensitive Level) Rating : Level 3 at +260°C Convection reflow, J-STD-020 Evaluation Board Layout (4x4) Mounting Instructions 1. Use a large ground pad area with many plated through-holes as shown. 2. We recommend 1 oz copper minimum. 3. Measurement for our data sheet was made on 0.8mm thick FR-4 Board. 4. Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance. 5. RF trace width depends on the board material and construction. 6. Add mounting screws near the part to fasten the board to a heatsink. http://www.prewell.com 6 December 2006
