PCB Recommendations

PCB land patterns for RFMD components are based on IPC-7351 standards and RFMD empirical data. The pad pattern shown

has been developed and tested for optimized assembly at RFMD. The PCB land pattern has been developed to accommodate

lead and package tolerances. Since surface mount processes vary from company to company, careful process development is

recommended.

Thermal vias for center slug “B” should be incorporated into the PCB design. The number and size of thermal vias will depend

on the application. Example of the number and size of vias can be found on the RFMD evaluation board layout.
