IR3082A TM 9.6V AMD XPHASE DATA SHEET CONTROL IC DESCRIPTION TM The IR3082A Control IC combined with an IR XPhase Phase IC provides a full featured and flexible way to implement a power solution. The “Control” IC provides overall system control and interfaces with any number of “Phase ICs” which each drive and monitor a single phase of a multiphase converter. With simple 5 bit voltage programming and a few external components, the IR3082A is also well suited for TM general purpose multiphase applications. The XPhase architecture results in a power supply that is smaller, less expensive, and easier to design while providing higher efficiency than conventional approaches.

The architecture can be used in any multiphase converter ranging from 1 to 16 or more phases where flexibility facilitates the design trade-off of multiphase converters. The scalable architecture can be applied to other applications which require high current or multiple output voltages. TM As shown in Figure 2, the XPhase architecture consists of a Control IC and a scalable array of phase converters each using a single Phase IC. The Control IC communicates with the Phase ICs through a 5-wire analog bus, i.e. bias voltage, phase timing, average current, error amplifier output, and VID voltage. The Control IC incorporates all the system functions, i.e. VID, PWM ramp oscillator, error amplifier, bias voltage, and fault protections etc. The Phase IC implements the functions required by the converter of each phase, i.e. the gate drivers, PWM comparator and latch, over-voltage protection, and current sensing and sharing. TM There is no unused or redundant silicon with the XPhase architecture compared to others such as a 4 phase controller that can be configured for 2, 3, or 4 phase operation. PCB Layout is easier since the 5 wire bus eliminates the need for point-to-point wiring between the Control IC and each Phase. The critical gate drive and current sense connections are short and local to the Phase ICs. This improves the PCB layout by lowering the parasitic inductance of the gate drive circuits and reducing the noise of the current sense signal.

Feed-forward voltage mode control with trailing edge modulation is used. A high-gain wide-bandwidth voltage type error amplifier in the Control IC is used for the voltage control loop. An external RC circuit connected to the input voltage and ground is used to program the slope of the PWM ramp and to provide the feed-forward control at each phase. The PWM ramp slope will change with the input voltage and automatically compensate for changes in the input voltage. The input voltage can change due to variations in the silver box output voltage or due to drops in the PCB related to changes in load current.

The output of the oscillator is a 50% duty cycle triangle waveform with peak and valley voltages of approximately 5V and 1V. This signal is used to program both the switching frequency and phase timing of the Phase ICs. The Phase IC is programmed by resistor divider RRAMP1 and RRAMP2 connected between the VBIAS reference voltage and the Phase IC LGND pin. A comparator in the Phase ICs detects the crossing of the oscillator waveform with the voltage generated by the resistor divider and triggers a clock pulse that starts the PWM cycle. The peak and valley voltages track the VBIAS voltage reducing potential Phase IC timing errors. Figure 4 shows the Phase timing for an 8 phase converter. Note that both slopes of the triangle waveform can be used for synchronization by swapping the RAMP+ and RAMP- pins, as shown in Figure 3.

Upon receiving a clock pulse, the PWM latch is set, the PWMRMP voltage begins to increase, the low side driver is turned off, and the high side driver is then turned on. When the PWMRMP voltage exceeds the Error Amp’s output voltage the PWM latch is reset. This turns off the high side driver, turns on the low side driver, and activates the Ramp Discharge Clamp. The clamp quickly discharges the PWMRMP capacitor to the VDAC voltage of the Control IC until the next clock pulse. The PWM latch is reset dominant allowing all phases to go to zero duty cycle within a few tens of nanoseconds in response to a load step decrease. Phases can overlap and go to 100% duty cycle in response to a load step increase with turn-on gated by the clock pulses. An Error Amp output voltage greater than the common mode input range of the PWM comparator results in 100% duty cycle regardless of the voltage of the PWM ramp. This arrangement guarantees the Error Amp is always in control and can demand 0 to 100% duty cycle as required. It also favors response to a load step decrease which is appropriate given the low output to input voltage ratio of most systems. The inductor current will increase much more rapidly than decrease in response to load transients. This control method is designed to provide “single cycle transient response” where the inductor current changes in response to load transients within a single switching cycle maximizing the effectiveness of the power train and minimizing the output capacitor requirements. An additional advantage is that differences in ground or input voltage at the phases have no effect on operation since the PWM ramps are referenced to VDAC. Page 8 of 33 05/02/2006 IR3082A Body Braking TM In a conventional synchronous buck converter, the minimum time required to reduce the current in the inductor in response to a load step decrease is; L ˜ ( I MAX  I MIN ) TSLEW VO The slew rate of the inductor current can be significantly increased by turning off the synchronous rectifier in response to a load step decrease. The switch node voltage is then forced to decrease until conduction of the synchronous rectifier’s body diode occurs. This increases the voltage across the inductor from Vout to Vout + VBODY DIODE. The minimum time required to reduce the current in the inductor in response to a load transient decrease is now; L ˜ ( I MAX  I MIN ) TSLEW VO  VBODYDIODE Since the voltage drop in the body diode is often higher than output voltage, the inductor current slew rate can be increased by 2X or more. This patent pending technique is referred to as “Body Braking” and is accomplished through the “Body Braking Comparator” located in the Phase IC. If the Error Amp’s output voltage drops below 91% of the VDAC voltage this comparator turns off the low side gate driver. Figure 5 depicts PWM operating waveforms under various conditions.

The equation of the sensing network is, vC ( s) vL ( s ) 1 1  sRCS CCS iL ( s ) RL  sL 1  sRCS CCS Usually the resistor Rcs and capacitor Ccs are chosen so that the time constant of Rcs and Ccs equals the time constant of the inductor which is the inductance L over the inductor DCR (RL). If the two time constants match, the voltage across Ccs is proportional to the current through L, and the sense circuit can be treated as if only a sense resistor with the value of RL was used. The mismatch of the time constants does not affect the measurement of inductor DC current, but affects the AC component of the inductor current. Page 9 of 33 05/02/2006 IR3082A The advantage of sensing the inductor current versus high side or low side sensing is that actual output current being delivered to the load is obtained rather than peak or sampled information about the switch currents. The output voltage can be positioned to meet a load line based on real time information. Except for a sense resistor in series with the inductor, this is the only sense method that can support a single cycle transient response. Other methods provide no information during either load increase (low side sensing) or load decrease (high side sensing). An additional problem associated with peak or valley current mode control for voltage positioning is that they suffer from peak-to-average errors. These errors will show in many ways but one example is the effect of frequency variation. If the frequency of a particular unit is 10% low, the peak to peak inductor current will be 10% larger and the output impedance of the converter will drop by about 10%. Variations in inductance, current sense amplifier bandwidth, PWM prop delay, any added slope compensation, input voltage, and output voltage are all additional sources of peak-to-average errors. Current Sense Amplifier A high speed differential current sense amplifier is located in the Phase IC, as shown in figure 6. Its gain decreases with increasing temperature and is nominally 34 at 25ºC and 29 at 125ºC (-1470 ppm/ºC). This reduction of gain tends to compensate the 3850 ppm/ºC increase in inductor DCR. Since in most designs the Phase IC junction is hotter than the inductor these two effects tend to cancel such that no additional temperature compensation of the load line is required. The current sense amplifier can accept positive differential input up to 100mV and negative up to -20mV before clipping. The output of the current sense amplifier is summed with the DAC voltage and sent to the Control IC and other Phases through an on-chip 10KŸUHVLVWRUFRQQHFWHGWRWKH,6+$5(SLQ7KH,6+$5(SLQVRIDOOWKHSKDVHV are tied together and the voltage on the share bus represents the total current through all the inductors and is used by the Control IC for voltage positioning and current limit protection. L RL Rcs Ccs Co CSOUT + CS A M P - Figure 6 – Inductor Current Sensing and Current Sense Amplifier Average Current Share Loop Current sharing between phases of the converter is achieved by the average current share loop in each Phase IC. The output of the current sense amplifier is compared with the share bus less a 20mV offset. If current in a phase is smaller than the average current, the share adjust amplifier of the phase will activate a current source that reduces the slope of its PWM ramp thereby increasing its duty cycle and output current. The crossover frequency of the current share loop can be programmed with a capacitor at the SCOMP pin so that the share loop does not interact with the output voltage loop.

The VID pins require an external bias voltage and should not be floated. The VID input comparators, with 1.2V reference, monitor the VID pins and control the 6 bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) whose output is sent to the VDAC buffer amplifier. The output of the buffer amp is the VDAC pin. The VDAC voltage is trimmed to compensate for the input offsets of the Error Amp to provide 1% system set-point accuracy and is pre-positioned 50mV higher than Vout listed in Table1 for load positioning. The actual VDAC voltage does not determine the system accuracy and has a wider tolerance. The IR3082A can accept changes in the VID code while operating and vary the DAC voltage accordingly. The sink/source capability of the VDAC buffer amp is programmed by the same external resistor that sets the oscillator frequency. The slew rate of the voltage at the VDAC pin can be adjusted by an external capacitor between VDAC pin and the VOSNS- pin. A resistor connected in series with this capacitor is required to compensate the VDAC buffer amplifier. Digital VID transitions result in a smooth analog transition of the VDAC voltage and converter output voltage minimizing inrush currents in the input and output capacitors and overshoot of the output voltage.

The circuitry related to voltage positioning is shown in Figure 8. Resistor RFB is connected between the Error Amp’s inverting input pin FB and the converter’s output voltage. An internal current source whose value is programmed by the same external resistor that programs the oscillator frequency pumps current into the FB pin. The error amp forces the converter’s output voltage lower to maintain a balance at its inputs. RFB is selected to program the desired amount of fixed offset voltage below the DAC voltage. Page 12 of 33 05/02/2006 IR3082A The voltage at the VDRP pin is a buffered version of the share bus and represents the sum of the DAC voltage and the average inductor current of all the phases. The VDRP pin is connected to the FB pin through the resistor RVDRP. Since the Error Amp will force the loop to maintain FB to be equal to the VDAC reference voltage, current will flow into the FB pin equal to (VDRP-VDAC) / RVDRP. When the load current increases, the adaptive positioning voltage increases accordingly. More current flows through the feedback resistor RFB, and makes the output voltage lower proportional to the load current. The positioning voltage can be programmed by the resistor RVDRP so that the droop impedance produces the desired converter output impedance. The offset and slope of the converter output impedance are referenced to and therefore independent of the VDAC voltage.

The VDAC voltage is referenced to VOSNS- to avoid additional error terms or delay related to a separate differential amplifier. The capacitor connecting the VDAC and VOSNS- pins ensure that high speed transients are fed directly into the error amp without delay. Soft Start, Over-Current Fault Delay, and Hiccup Mode The IR3082A has a programmable soft-start function to limit the surge current during the converter start-up. A capacitor connected between the SS/DEL and LGND pins controls soft start as well as over-current protection delay and hiccup mode timing. A charge current of 55uA and discharge current of 5uA control the up slope and down slope of the voltage at the SS/DEL pin respectively. Soft start-up waveforms are shown in Figure 10. Figure 11 depicts the various operating modes as controlled by the SS/DEL function. If there is no fault, the SS/DEL pin will begin to be charged. The error amplifier output is clamped low until SS/DEL reaches 1.3V. The error amplifier will then regulate the converter’s output voltage to match the SS/DEL voltage less the 1.3V offset until it reaches the level determined by the VID inputs. The SS/DEL voltage continues to increase until it rises above 3.83V and allows the PWRGD signal to be asserted. SS/DEL finally settles at 3.90V, indicating the end of the soft start. Under Voltage Lock Out and VID=11111 faults as well as a low signal on the ENABLE input immediately sets the fault latch causing SS/DEL to begin to discharge. The SS/DEL capacitor will continue to discharge down to 0.22V. If the fault has cleared the fault latch will be reset by the discharge comparator allowing a normal soft start to occur. A delay is included if an over-current condition occurs after a successful soft start sequence. This is required since over-current conditions can occur as part of normal operation due to load transients or VID transitions. If an overcurrent fault occurs during normal operation it will initiate the discharge of the capacitor at SS/DEL but will not set the fault latch immediately. If the over-current condition persists long enough for the SS/DEL capacitor to discharge below the 110mV offset of the delay comparator, the Fault latch will be set pulling the error amp’s output low inhibiting switching in the phase ICs and de-asserting the PWRGD signal. The delay can be reduced by adding a resistor in series with the delay capacitor. The delay comparator’s offset voltage is reduced by the drop in the resistor caused by the discharge current. To prevent the charge current from creating an offset exceeding the SS/DEL to FB input offset voltage the value of the resistor should be 10KŸ or less to avoid interference with the soft start function. The SS/DEL capacitor will continue to discharge until it reaches 0.22V and the fault latch is reset allowing a normal soft start to occur. If an over-current condition is again encountered during the soft start cycle the fault latch will be set without any delay and hiccup mode will begin. During hiccup mode the 11 to 1 charge to discharge ratio results in a 9% hiccup mode duty cycle regardless of at what point the over-current condition occurs. If SS/DEL pin is pulled below 0.9V, the converter can be disabled. Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) The UVLO function monitors the IR3082A’s VCC supply pin and ensures that IR3082A has a high enough voltage to power the internal circuit. The IR3082A’s UVLO is set higher than the minimum operating voltage of compatible Phase ICs thus providing UVLO protection for them as well. During power-up the fault latch is reset when VCC exceeds 8.25V and there is no other fault. If the VCC voltage drops below 7.70V the fault latch will be set. For converters using a separate 5V supply for gate driver bias an external UVLO circuit can be added to prevent operation until adequate voltage is present. A diode connected between the 5V supply and the SS/DEL pin provides a simple 5V UVLO function. Page 14 of 33 05/02/2006 IR3082A Over Current Protection (OCP) The current limit threshold is set by a resistor connected between the OCSET and VDAC pins. If the IIN pin voltage, which is proportional to the average current plus DAC voltage, exceeds the OCSET voltage, the over-current protection is triggered. VID = 11111 Fault VID code of 11111 will set the fault latch and disable the error amplifier. An 800ns delay is provided to prevent a fault condition from occurring during Dynamic VID changes. Power Good Output The PWRGD pin is an open-collector output and should be pulled up to a voltage source through a resistor. During soft start, the PWRGD remains low until the output voltage is in regulation and SS/DEL is above 3.83V. The PWRGD pin becomes low if the fault latch is set. A high level at the PWRGD pin indicates that the converter is in operation and has no fault, but does not ensure the output voltage is within the specification. Output voltage regulation within the design limits can logically be assured however, assuming no component failure in the system. Load Current Indicator Output The IIN pin voltage represents the average current of the converter plus the DAC voltage. The load current can be retrieved by subtracting the VDAC voltage from the IIN voltage. System Reference Voltage (VBIAS) The IR3082A supplies a 6.3V/1mA precision reference voltage from the VBIAS pin. The oscillator ramp trip points are based on the VBIAS voltage so it should be used to program the Phase ICs phase delay to minimize phase errors. Enable Input Pulling the ENABLE pin below 1.08V sets the Fault Latch.

Soft Start Capacitor CSS/DEL and Resistor RSS/DEL Because the capacitor CSS/DEL programs three different time parameters, i.e. soft start time, over current latch delay time, and the frequency of hiccup mode, they should be considered together while choosing CSS/DEL. The SS/DEL pin voltage controls the slew rate of the converter output voltage, as shown in Figure 10. After the ENABLE pin voltage rises above 1.27V, there is a soft-start delay time tSSDEL, after which the error amplifier output is released to allow the soft start. The soft start time tSS represents the time during which the output voltage rises from zero to Vo. tSS can be programmed by an external capacitor, which is determined by Equation (1).

The resistor RVDAC is used to compensate VDAC circuit and is determined by Equation (8).

The copper wire of inductor has a constant temperature coefficient of 3850 PPM, and therefore the maximum inductor DCR can be calculated from Equation (10), where RL_MAX and RL_ROOM are the inductor DCR at maximum temperature TL_MAX and room temperature T_ROOM respectively. R L _ ROOM ˜ [1  3850 ˜ 10 R L _ MAX  6 ˜ (TL _ MAX  TROOM )] (10) The current sense amplifier gain of IR3086A decreases with temperature at the rate of 1470 PPM, which compensates part of the inductor DCR increase. The phase IC die temperature is only a couple of degrees Celsius higher than the PCB temperature due to the low thermal impedance of MLPQ package.

Adaptive voltage positioning lowers the converter voltage by Ro times Io, where Ro is the required output impedance of the converter. RFB is not only determined by IFB, the current flowing out of the FB pin as shown in Figure 14, but also affected by the total input offset voltage of current sense amplifiers.

Choose the desired PWM ramp magnitude VRAMP and the capacitor CPWMRMP in the range of 100pF and 470pF, and then calculate the resistor RPWMRMP from Equation (17). To achieve feed-forward voltage mode control, the resistor RRAMP should be connected to the input of the converter.

Usually the resistor RCS+ and capacitor CCS+ in parallel with the inductor are chosen to match the time constant of the inductor, and therefore the voltage across the capacitor CCS+ represents the inductor current. If the two time constants are not the same, the AC component of the capacitor voltage is different from that of the real inductor current. The time constant mismatch does not affect the average current sharing among the multiple phases, but affect the current signal ISHARE as well as the output voltage during the load current transient if adaptive voltage positioning is adopted. Measure the inductance L and the inductor DC resistance RL. Pre-select the capacitor CCS+ and calculate RCS+ as follows. RCS L RL C CS (18) The bias current flowing out of the non-inverting input of the current sense amplifier creates a voltage drop across RCS+, which is equivalent to an input offset voltage of the current sense amplifier. The offset affects the accuracy of converter current signal ISHARE as well as the accuracy of the converter output voltage if adaptive voltage positioning is adopted. To reduce the offset voltage, a resistor RCS- should be added between the amplifier inverting input and the converter output. The resistor RCS- is determined by the ratio of the bias current from the non-inverting input and the bias current from the inverting input. RCS  Page 21 of 33 I CSIN ˜ RCS I CSIN  (19) 05/02/2006 IR3082A If RCS- is not used, RCS+ should be chosen so that the offset voltage is small enough. Usually RCS+ should be less than 2 kŸDQGWKHUHIRUHDODUJHU&CS+ value is needed. Over Temperature Setting Resistors RHOTSET1 and RHOTSET2 The threshold voltage of VRHOT comparator is proportional to the die temperature TJ (ºC) of phase IC. Determine the relationship between the die temperature of phase IC and the temperature of the power converter according to the power loss, PCB layout and airflow etc, and then calculate HOTSET threshold voltage corresponding to the allowed maximum temperature from Equation (20). V HOTSET 4.73 ˜ 10 3 ˜ TJ  1.241  (20) There are two ways to set the over temperature threshold, central setting and local setting. In the central setting, only one resistor divider is used, and the setting voltage is connected to HOTSET pins of all the phase ICs. To reduce the influence of noise on the accuracy of over temperature setting, a 0.1uF capacitor should be placed next to HOTSET pin of each phase IC. In the local setting, a resistor divider per phase is needed, and the setting voltage is connected to HOTSET pin of each phase. The 0.1uF decoupling capacitor is not necessary. Use VBIAS as the reference voltage. If RHOTSET1 is pre-selected, RHOTSET2 can be calculated as follows. R HOTSET 2 R HOTSET 1 ˜ V HOTSET V BIAS  V HOTSET (21) Phase Delay Timing Resistors RPHASE1 and RPHASE2 The phase delay of the interleaved multiphase converter is programmed by the resistor divider connected at RMPIN+ or RMPIN- depending on which slope of the oscillator ramp is used for the phase delay programming of phase IC, as shown in Figure 3. If the upslope is used, RMPIN+ pin of the phase IC should be connected to RMPOUT pin of the control IC and RMPIN- pin should be connected to the resistor divider. When RMPOUT voltage is above the trip voltage at RMPIN- pin, the PWM latch is set. GATEL becomes low, and GATEH becomes high after the non-overlap time. If down slope is used, RMPIN- pin of the phase IC should be connected to RMPOUT pin of the control IC and RMPIN+ pin should be connected to the resistor divider. When RMPOUT voltage is below the trip voltage at RMPIN- pin, the PWM latch is set. GATEL becomes low, and GATEH becomes high after the non-overlap time. Use VBIAS voltage as the reference for the resistor divider since the oscillator ramp magnitude from control IC tracks VBIAS voltage. Try to avoid both edges of the oscillator ramp for better noise immunity. Determine the ratio of the programming resistors, RAPHASEx, corresponding to the desired switching frequencies and phase numbers. If the resistor RPHASEx1 is pre-selected, the resistor RPHASEx2 is determined as: R PHASEx 2 RAPHASEx ˜ R PHASEx1 1  RAPHASEx (22) Combined Over Temperature and Phase Delay Setting Resistors RPHASE1, RPHASE2 and RPHASE3 The over temperature setting resistor divider can be combined with the phase delay resistor divider to save one resistor per phase.

If the over temperature setting voltage is lower than the phase delay setting voltage, VBIAS*RAPHASEx, connect RMPIN+ or RMPIN- pin between RPHASEx1 and RPHASEx2 and connect HOTSET pin between RPHASEx2 and RPHASEx3 respectively.

Decoupling Capacitors for Phase IC 0.1uF-1uF decoupling capacitors are required at VCC and VCCL pins of phase ICs. VOLTAGE LOOP COMPENSATION The adaptive voltage positioning (AVP is usually used in the computer applications to improve the transient response and reduce the power loss at heavy load. Like current mode control, the adaptive voltage positioning loop introduces extra zero to the voltage loop and splits the double poles of the power stage, which make the voltage loop compensation much easier. Resistors RFB and RDRP are chosen according to Equations (15) and (16), and the selection of compensation types depends on the capacitors used. For the applications using Electrolytic, Polymer or AL-Polymer capacitors, type II compensation shown in Figure 18 (a) is usually enough.

Connect the ground tab under the control IC to LGND plane through a via. Place the following critical components on the same layer as control IC and position them as close as possible to the respective pins, ROSC, ROCSET, RVDAC, CVDAC, CVCC, CSS/DEL and RCC/DEL. Avoid using any via for the connection. Place the compensation components on the same layer as control IC and position them as close as possible to EAOUT, FB and VDRP pins. Avoid using any via for the connection. Use Kelvin connections for the remote voltage sense signals, VOSNS+ and VOSNS-, and avoid crossing over the fast transition nodes, i.e. switching nodes, gate drive signals and bootstrap nodes. Control bus signals, VDAC, RMPOUT, IIN, VBIAS, and especially EAOUT, should not cross over the fast transition nodes. Page 29 of 33 05/02/2006 IR3082A METAL AND SOLDER RESIST x The solder resist should be pulled away from the metal lead lands by a minimum of 0.06mm. The solder resist mis-alignment is a maximum of 0.05mm and it is recommended that the lead lands are all Non Solder Mask Defined (NSMD). Therefore pulling the S/R 0.06mm will always ensure NSMD pads. x The minimum solder resist width is 0.13mm, therefore it is recommended that the solder resist is completely removed from between the lead lands forming a single opening for each “group” of lead lands. x At the inside corner of the solder resist where the lead land groups meet, it is recommended to provide a fillet so a solder resist width of •PPUHPDLQV x The land pad should be Solder Mask Defined (SMD), with a minimum overlap of the solder resist onto the copper of 0.06mm to accommodate solder resist mis-alignment. In 0.5mm pitch cases it is allowable to have the solder resist opening for the land pad to be smaller than the part pad. x Ensure that the solder resist in-between the lead lands and the pad land is • PP due to the high aspect ratio of the solder resist strip separating the lead lands from the pad land. x The single via in the land pad should be tented with solder resist 0.4mm diameter, or 0.1mm larger than the diameter of the via. Page 30 of 33 05/02/2006 IR3082A PCB METAL AND COMPONENT PLACEMENT x Lead land width should be equal to nominal part lead width. The minimum lead to lead spacing should be •PPWRPLQLPL]HVKRUWLQJ x Lead land length should be equal to maximum part lead length + 0.2 mm outboard extension + 0.05mm inboard extension. The outboard extension ensures a large and inspectable toe fillet, and the inboard extension will accommodate any part misalignment and ensure a fillet. x Center pad land length and width should be equal to maximum part pad length and width. However, the minimum metal to metal spacing should be •PPfor 2 oz. Copper (•PPIRUR]&RSSHUand • 0.23mm for 3 oz. Copper) x A single 0.30mm diameter via shall be placed in the center of the pad land and connected to ground to minimize the noise effect on the IC. Page 31 of 33 05/02/2006 IR3082A STENCIL DESIGN x The stencil apertures for the lead lands should be approximately 80% of the area of the lead lands. Reducing the amount of solder deposited will minimize the occurrence of lead shorts. Since for 0.5mm pitch devices the leads are only 0.25mm wide, the stencil apertures should not be made narrower; openings in stencils < 0.25mm wide are difficult to maintain repeatable solder release. x The stencil lead land apertures should therefore be shortened in length by 80% and centered on the lead land. x The land pad aperture should be striped with 0.25mm wide openings and spaces to deposit approximately 50% area of solder on the center pad. If too much solder is deposited on the center pad the part will float and the lead lands will be open. x The maximum length and width of the land pad stencil aperture should be equal to the solder resist opening minus an annular 0.2mm pull back to decrease the incidence of shorting the center land to the lead lands when the part is pushed into the solder paste.
