SC16C754BIB80 - Philips Semiconductors / NXP Semiconductors

1. General description

The SC16C754B is a quad Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) with

64-byte FIFOs, automatic hardware/software ﬂow control, and data rates up to 5 Mbit/s

(3.3 V and 5 V). The SC16C754B offers enhanced features. It has a transmission control

hardware and software ﬂow control. With the FIFO RDY register, the software gets the

status of TXRDY/RXRDY for all four ports in one access. On-chip status registers provide

the user with error indications, operational status, and modem interface control. System

interrupts may be tailored to meet user requirements. An internal loop-back capability

allows on-board diagnostics.

The UART transmits data, sent to it over the peripheral 8-bit bus, on the TX signal and

receives characters on the RX signal. Characters can be programmed to be 5, 6, 7, or

8 bits. The UART has a 64-byte receive FIFO and transmit FIFO and can be programmed

to interrupt at different trigger levels. The UART generates its own desired baud rate

based upon a programmable divisor and its input clock. It can transmit even, odd, or no

parity and 1, 1.5, or 2 stop bits. The receiver can detect break, idle, or framing errors,

FIFO overﬂow, and parity errors. The transmitter can detect FIFO underﬂow. The UART

also contains a software interface for modem control operations, and has software ﬂow

control and hardware ﬂow control capabilities.

The SC16C754B is available in plastic LQFP64, LQFP80 and PLCC68 packages.

6. Functional description

The SC16C754B UART is pin-compatible with the SC16C554 and SC16C654 UARTs. It

provides more enhanced features. All additional features are provided through a special

enhanced feature register.

The UART will perform serial-to-parallel conversion on data characters received from

peripheral devices or modems, and parallel-to-parallel conversion on data characters

transmitted by the processor. The complete status of each channel of the SC16C754B

UART can be read at any time during functional operation by the processor.

The SC16C754B can be placed in an alternate mode (FIFO mode) relieving the processor

of excessive software overhead by buffering received/transmitted characters. Both the

receiver and transmitter FIFOs can store up to 64 bytes (including three additional bits of

error status per byte for the receiver FIFO) and have selectable or programmable trigger

levels. Primary outputs RXRDY and TXRDY allow signalling of DMA transfers.

The SC16C754B has selectable hardware ﬂow control and software ﬂow control.

Hardware ﬂow control signiﬁcantly reduces software overhead and increases system

efﬁciency by automatically controlling serial data ﬂow using the RTS output and CTS input

signals. Software ﬂow control automatically controls data ﬂow by using programmable

Xon/Xoff characters.

The UART includes a programmable baud rate generator that can divide the timing

reference clock input by a divisor between 1 and (216 −1).

6.1 Trigger levels

The SC16C754B provides independent selectable and programmable trigger levels for

both receiver and transmitter DMA and interrupt generation. After reset, both transmitter

and receiver FIFOs are disabled and so, in effect, the trigger level is the default value of

one byte. The selectable trigger levels are available via the FCR. The programmable

trigger levels are available via the TLR.

6.2 Hardware ﬂow control

Hardware ﬂow control is comprised of Auto-CTS and Auto-RTS. Auto-CTS and Auto-RTS

can be enabled/disabled independently by programming EFR[7:6].

With Auto-CTS, CTS must be active before the UART can transmit data.

Auto-RTS only activates the RTS output when there is enough room in the FIFO to receive

data and de-activates the RTS output when the RX FIFO is sufﬁciently full. The halt and

resume trigger levels in the TCR determine the levels at which RTS is

activated/deactivated.

If both Auto-CTS and Auto-RTS are enabled, when RTS is connected to CTS, data

transmission does not occur unless the receiver FIFO has empty space. Thus, overrun

errors are eliminated during hardware ﬂow control. If not enabled, overrun errors occur if

the transmit data rate exceeds the receive FIFO servicing latency.

6.2.1 Auto-RTS

Auto-RTS data ﬂow control originates in the receiver block (see Figure 1 “Block diagram of

SC16C754B” on page 3). Figure 6 shows RTS functional timing. The receiver FIFO trigger

levels used in Auto-RTS are stored in the TCR. RTS is active if the RX FIFO level is below

the halt trigger level in TCR[3:0]. When the receiver FIFO halt trigger level is reached,

RTS is deasserted. The sending device (for example, another UART) may send an

additional byte after the trigger level is reached (assuming the sending UART has another

byte to send) because it may not recognize the deassertion of RTS until it has begun

sending the additional byte. RTS is automatically reasserted once the receiver FIFO

reaches the resume trigger level programmed via TCR[7:4]. This reassertion allows the

sending device to resume transmission.

6.2.2 Auto-CTS

The transmitter circuitry checks CTS before sending the next data byte. When CTS is

active, the transmitter sends the next byte. To stop the transmitter from sending the

following byte, CTS must be deasserted before the middle of the last stop bit that is

currently being sent. The auto-CTS function reduces interrupts to the host system. When

ﬂow control is enabled, CTS level changes do not trigger host interrupts because the

device automatically controls its own transmitter. Without auto-CTS, the transmitter sends

any data present in the transmit FIFO and a receiver overrun error may result.

(1) N = receiver FIFO trigger level.

(2) The two blocks in dashed lines cover the case where an additional byte is sent, as described in Section 6.2.1.

(1) When CTS is LOW, the transmitter keeps sending serial data out.

(2) When CTS goes HIGH before the middle of the last stop bit of the current byte, the transmitter ﬁnishes sending the current

byte, but it does not send the next byte.

(3) When CTS goes from HIGH to LOW, the transmitter begins sending data again.

6.3 Software ﬂow control

Software ﬂow control is enabled through the enhanced feature register and the modem

control register. Different combinations of software ﬂow control can be enabled by setting

different combinations of EFR[3:0]. Table 3 shows software ﬂow control options.

Remark: When using software ﬂow control, the Xon/Xoff characters cannot be used for

data characters.

There are two other enhanced features relating to software ﬂow control:

•Xon Any function (MCR[5]): Operation will resume after receiving any character

after recognizing the Xoff character. It is possible that an Xon1 character is

recognized as an Xon Any character, which could cause an Xon2 character to be

written to the RX FIFO.

•Special character (EFR[5]): Incoming data is compared to Xoff2. Detection of the

special character sets the Xoff interrupt (IIR[4]) but does not halt transmission. The

Xoff interrupt is cleared by a read of the IIR. The special character is transferred to the

RX FIFO.

6.3.1 RX

When software ﬂow control operation is enabled, the SC16C754B will compare incoming

data with Xoff1/Xoff2 programmed characters (in certain cases, Xoff1 and Xoff2 must be

received sequentially). When the correct Xoff character is received, transmission is halted

after completing transmission of the current character. Xoff detection also sets IIR[4] (if

enabled via IER[5]) and causes INT to go HIGH.

To resume transmission, an Xon1/Xon2 character must be received (in certain cases

Xon1 and Xon2 must be received sequentially). When the correct Xon characters are

received, IIR[4] is cleared, and the Xoff interrupt disappears.

6.3.2 TX

Xoff1/Xoff2 character is transmitted when the RX FIFO has passed the HALT trigger level

programmed in TCR[3:0].

Xon1/Xon2 character is transmitted when the RX FIFO reaches the RESUME trigger level

programmed in TCR[7:4].

The transmission of Xoff/Xon(s) follows the exact same protocol as transmission of an

ordinary byte from the FIFO. This means that even if the word length is set to be 5, 6, or 7

characters, then the 5, 6, or 7 least signiﬁcant bits of Xoff1/Xoff2 and Xon1/Xon2 will be

transmitted. (Note that the transmission of 5, 6, or 7 bits of a character is seldom done, but

this functionality is included to maintain compatibility with earlier designs.)

It is assumed that software ﬂow control and hardware ﬂow control will never be enabled

simultaneously. Figure 8 shows an example of software ﬂow control.

6.3.3 Software ﬂow control example

6.3.3.1 Assumptions

UART1 is transmitting a large text ﬁle to UART2. Both UARTs are using software ﬂow

control with single character Xoff (0F) and Xon (0D) tokens. Both have Xoff threshold

(TCR[3:0] = F) set to 60, and Xon threshold (TCR[7:4] = 8) set to 32. Both have the

interrupt receive threshold (TLR[7:4] = D) set to 52.

UART1 begins transmission and sends 52 characters, at which point UART2 will generate

an interrupt to its processor to service the RCV FIFO, but assumes the interrupt latency is

fairly long. UART1 will continue sending characters until a total of 60 characters have

been sent. At this time, UART2 will transmit a 0F to UART1, informing UART1 to halt

transmission. UART1 will likely send the 61st character while UART2 is sending the Xoff

character. Now UART2 is serviced and the processor reads enough data out of the RX

FIFO that the level drops to 32. UART2 will now send a 0D to UART1, informing UART1 to

resume transmission.

6.4 Reset

Table 4 summarizes the state of register after reset.

Remark: Registers DLL, DLH, SPR, Xon1, Xon2, Xoff1, Xoff2 are not reset by the

top-level reset signal RESET, that is, they hold their initialization values during reset.

6.5 Interrupts

The SC16C754B has interrupt generation and prioritization (six prioritized levels of

interrupts) capability. The interrupt enable register (IER) enables each of the six types of

interrupts and the INT signal in response to an interrupt generation. The IER can also

disable the interrupt system by clearing bits 7:5 and 3:0. When an interrupt is generated,

the IIR indicates that an interrupt is pending and provides the type of interrupt through

IIR[5:0]. Table 6 summarizes the interrupt control functions.

It is important to note that for the framing error, parity error, and break conditions, LSR[7]

generates the interrupt. LSR[7] is set when there is an error anywhere in the RX FIFO,

and is cleared only when there are no more errors remaining in the FIFO. LSR[4:2] always

represent the error status for the received character at the top of the RX FIFO. Reading

the RX FIFO updates LSR[4:2] to the appropriate status for the new character at the top of

the FIFO. If the RX FIFO is empty, then LSR[4:2] are all zeros.

For the Xoff interrupt, if an Xoff ﬂow character detection caused the interrupt, the interrupt

is cleared by an Xon ﬂow character detection. If a special character detection caused the

interrupt, the interrupt is cleared by a read of the IIR.

6.5.1 Interrupt mode operation

In interrupt mode (if any bit of IER[3:0] is ‘1’) the processor is informed of the status of the

receiver and transmitter by an interrupt signal, INT. Therefore, it is not necessary to

continuously poll the line status register (LSR) to see if any interrupt needs to be serviced.

Figure 9 shows interrupt mode operation.

6.5.2 Polled mode operation

In polled mode (IER[3:0] = 0000) the status of the receiver and transmitter can be

checked by polling the line status register (LSR). This mode is an alternative to the FIFO

interrupt mode of operation where the status of the receiver and transmitter is

automatically known by means of interrupts sent to the CPU. Figure 10 shows FIFO polled

mode operation.

6.6 DMA operation

There are two modes of DMA operation, DMA mode 0 or DMA mode 1, selected by

FCR[3].

In DMA mode 0 or FIFO disable (FCR[0] = 0) DMA occurs in single character transfers. In

DMA mode 1, multi-character (or block) DMA transfers are managed to relieve the

processor for longer periods of time.

6.6.1 Single DMA transfers (DMA mode 0/FIFO disable)

Figure 11 shows TXRDY and RXRDY in DMA mode 0/FIFO disable.

6.6.1.1 Transmitter

When empty, the TXRDY signal becomes active. TXRDY will go inactive after one

character has been loaded into it.

6.6.1.2 Receiver

RXRDY is active when there is at least one character in the FIFO. It becomes inactive

when the receiver is empty.

6.6.2 Block DMA transfers (DMA mode 1)

Figure 12 shows TXRDY and RXRDY in DMA mode 1.

6.6.2.1 Transmitter

TXRDY is active when there is a trigger level number of spaces available. It becomes

inactive when the FIFO is full.

6.6.2.2 Receiver

RXRDY becomes active when the trigger level has been reached, or when a time-out

interrupt occurs. It will go inactive when the FIFO is empty or an error in the RX FIFO is

ﬂagged by LSR[7].

6.7 Sleep mode

Sleep mode is an enhanced feature of the SC16C754B UART. It is enabled when EFR[4],

the enhanced functions bit, is set and when IER[4] is set. Sleep mode is entered when:

•The serial data input line, RX, is idle (see Section 6.8 “Break and time-out

conditions”).

•The TX FIFO and TX shift register are empty.

•There are no interrupts pending except THR and time-out interrupts.

Remark: Sleep mode will not be entered if there is data in the RX FIFO.

In Sleep mode, the UART clock and baud rate clock are stopped. Since most registers are

clocked using these clocks, the power consumption is greatly reduced. The UART will

wake up when any change is detected on the RX line, when there is any change in the

state of the modem input pins, or if data is written to the TX FIFO.

Remark: Writing to the divisor latches, DLL and DLH, to set the baud clock, must not be

done during Sleep mode. Therefore, it is advisable to disable Sleep mode using IER[4]

before writing to DLL or DLH.

6.8 Break and time-out conditions

An RX idle condition is detected when the receiver line, RX, has been HIGH for

4 character time. The receiver line is sampled midway through each bit.

When a break condition occurs, the TX line is pulled LOW. A break condition is activated

by setting LCR[6].

6.9 Programmable baud rate generator

The SC16C754B UART contains a programmable baud generator that takes any clock

input and divides it by a divisor in the range between 1 and (216 −1). An additional

divide-by-4 prescaler is also available and can be selected by MCR[7], as shown in

Figure 13. The output frequency of the baud rate generator is 16× the baud rate. The

formula for the divisor is:

Where:

prescaler = 1, when MCR[7] is set to 0 after reset (divide-by-1 clock selected)

prescaler = 4, when MCR[7] is set to 1 after reset (divide-by-4 clock selected).

Remark: The default value of prescaler after reset is divide-by-1.

Figure 13 shows the internal prescaler and baud rate generator circuitry.

DLL and DLH must be written to in order to program the baud rate. DLL and DLH are the

least signiﬁcant and most signiﬁcant byte of the baud rate divisor. If DLL and DLH are both

zero, the UART is effectively disabled, as no baud clock will be generated.

Remark: The programmable baud rate generator is provided to select both the transmit

and receive clock rates.

Table 7 and Table 8 show the baud rate and divisor correlation for crystal with frequency

1.8432 MHz and 3.072 MHz, respectively.

Figure 14 shows the crystal clock circuit reference.

Remark: Refer to the notes under Table 9 for more register access information.

7.1 Receiver Holding Register (RHR)

The receiver section consists of the Receiver Holding Register (RHR) and the Receiver

Shift Register (RSR). The RHR is actually a 64-byte FIFO. The RSR receives serial data

from the RX terminal. The data is converted to parallel data and moved to the RHR. The

receiver section is controlled by the Line Control Register (LCR). If the FIFO is disabled,

location zero of the FIFO is used to store the characters.

Remark: In this case, characters are overwritten if overﬂow occurs.

If overﬂow occurs, characters are lost. The RHR also stores the error status bits

associated with each character.

7.2 Transmit Holding Register (THR)

The transmitter section consists of the Transmit Holding Register (THR) and the Transmit

Shift Register (TSR). The THR is actually a 64-byte FIFO. The THR receives data and

shifts it into the TSR, where it is converted to serial data and moved out on the TX

terminal. If the FIFO is disabled, the FIFO is still used to store the byte. Characters are

lost if overﬂow occurs.

7.5 Line Status Register (LSR)

Table 13 shows the line status register bit settings.

When the LSR is read, LSR[4:2] reﬂect the error bits (BI, FE, PE) of the character at the

top of the RX FIFO (next character to be read). The LSR[4:2] registers do not physically

exist, as the data read from the RX FIFO is output directly onto the output data bus,

DI[4:2], when the LSR is read. Therefore, errors in a character are identiﬁed by reading

the LSR and then reading the RHR.

LSR[7] is set when there is an error anywhere in the RX FIFO, and is cleared only when

there are no more errors remaining in the FIFO.

Reading the LSR does not cause an increment of the RX FIFO read pointer. The RX FIFO

read pointer is incremented by reading the RHR.

7.7 Modem Status Register (MSR)

This 8-bit register provides information about the current state of the control lines from the

modem, data set, or peripheral device to the processor. It also indicates when a control

input from the modem changes state. Table 15 shows Modem Status Register bit settings

per channel.

[1] The primary inputs RI, CD, CTS, DSR are all active LOW, but their registered equivalents in the MSR and

MCR (in loop-back) registers are active HIGH.

7.8 Interrupt Enable Register (IER)

The Interrupt Enable Register (IER) enables each of the six types of interrupt, receiver

error, RHR interrupt, THR interrupt, Xoff received, or CTS/RTS change of state from LOW

to HIGH. The INT output signal is activated in response to interrupt generation. Table 16

shows Interrupt Enable Register bit settings.

[1] IER[7:4] can only be modiﬁed if EFR[4] is set, that is, EFR[4] is a write enable. Re-enabling IER[1] will

cause a new interrupt if the THR is below the threshold.

7.10 Enhanced Feature Register (EFR)

This 8-bit register enables or disables the enhanced features of the UART. Table 19 shows

the Enhanced Feature Register bit settings.

7.11 Divisor latches (DLL, DLH)

These are two 8-bit registers which store the 16-bit divisor for generation of the baud clock

in the baud rate generator. DLH stores the most signiﬁcant part of the divisor. DLL stores

the least signiﬁcant part of the divisor.

Note that DLL and DLH can only be written to before Sleep mode is enabled, that is,

before IER[4] is set.

Table 19: Enhanced Feature Register bits description

Bit Symbol Description

7 EFR[7] CTS ﬂow control enable.

logic 0 = CTS ﬂow control is disabled (normal default condition)

logic 1 = CTS ﬂow control is enabled. Transmission will stop when a HIGH

signal is detected on the CTS pin.

6 EFR[6] RTS ﬂow control enable.

logic 0 = RTS ﬂow control is disabled (normal default condition)

logic 1 = RTS ﬂow control is enabled. The RTS pin goes HIGH when the

receiver FIFO HALT trigger level TCR[3:0] is reached, and goes LOW when

the receiver FIFO RESUME transmission trigger level TCR[7:4] is reached.

5 EFR[5] Special character detect.

logic 0 = special character detect disabled (normal default condition)

logic 1 = special character detect enabled. Received data is compared with

Xoff2 data. If a match occurs, the received data is transferred to FIFO and

IIR[4] is set to a logical 1 to indicate a special character has been detected.

4 EFR[4] Enhanced functions enable bit.

logic 0 = disables enhanced functions and writing to IER[7:4], FCR[5:4],

MCR[7:5].

logic 1 = enables the enhanced function IER[7:4], FCR[5:4], and MCR[7:5]

can be modiﬁed, that is, this bit is therefore a write enable.

3:0 EFR[3:0] Combinations of software ﬂow control can be selected by programming these

bits. See Table 3 “Software ﬂow control options (EFR[3:0])”.

5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V quad UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.) with 64-byte FIFOs

7.12 Transmission Control Register (TCR)

This 8-bit register is used to store the RX FIFO threshold levels to stop/start transmission

during hardware/software ﬂow control. Table 20 shows Transmission Control Register bit

settings.

TCR trigger levels are available from 0 to 60 bytes with a granularity of four.

Remark: TCR can only be written to when EFR[4] = 1 and MCR[6] = 1. The programmer

must program the TCR such that TCR[3:0] > TCR[7:4]. There is no built-in hardware

check to make sure this condition is met. Also, the TCR must be programmed with this

condition before Auto-RTS or software ﬂow control is enabled to avoid spurious operation

of the device.

7.13 Trigger Level Register (TLR)

This 8-bit register is used to store the transmit and received FIFO trigger levels used for

DMA and interrupt generation. Trigger levels from 4 to 60 can be programmed with a

granularity of 4. Table 21 shows Trigger Level Register bit settings.

Remark: TLR can only be written to when EFR[4] = 1 and MCR[6] = 1. If TLR[3:0] or

TLR[7:4] are logical 0, the selectable trigger levels via the FIFO Control Register (FCR)

are used for the transmit and receive FIFO trigger levels. Trigger levels from 4 to 60 bytes

are available with a granularity of four. The TLR should be programmed for N⁄4, where N is

the desired trigger level.

7.14 FIFO ready register

The FIFO ready register provides real-time status of the transmit and receive FIFOs of

both channels.

Table 20: Transmission Control Register bits description

Bit Symbol Description

7:4 TCR[7:4] RX FIFO trigger level to resume transmission (0-60).

3:0 TCR[3:0] RX FIFO trigger level to halt transmission (0-60).

3:0 TLR[3:0] TX FIFO trigger levels (4 to 60), number of spaces available.

Table 22: FIFO ready register bits description

Bit Symbol Description

7:4 FIFO Rdy[7:4] 0 = there are less than a RX trigger level number of characters in the

RX FIFO

1 = the RX FIFO has more than a RX trigger level number of characters

available for reading or a time-out condition has occurred

3:0 FIFO Rdy[3:0] 0 = there are less than a TX trigger level number of spaces available in

the TX FIFO

1 = there are at least a TX trigger level number of spaces available in the

TX FIFO

The FIFO Rdy register is a read-only register that can be accessed when any of the two

UARTs is selected CSA - CSD = 0, MCR[2] (FIFO Rdy Enable) is a logic 1, and loop-back

is disabled. The address is 111.

8. Programmer’s guide

The base set of registers that is used during high-speed data transfer have a

straightforward access method. The extended function registers require special access

bits to be decoded along with the address lines. The following guide will help with

programming these registers. Note that the descriptions below are for individual register

access. Some streamlining through interleaving can be obtained when programming all

the registers.

13. Soldering

13.1 Introduction to soldering surface mount packages

This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology. A more in-depth account of

soldering ICs can be found in our

Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages

(document order number 9398 652 90011).

There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface mount IC packages. Wave

soldering can still be used for certain surface mount ICs, but it is not suitable for ﬁne pitch

SMDs. In these situations reﬂow soldering is recommended.

13.2 Reﬂow soldering

Reﬂow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of ﬁne solder particles, ﬂux and

binding agent) to be applied to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or

pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement. Driven by legislation and

environmental forces the worldwide use of lead-free solder pastes is increasing.

Several methods exist for reﬂowing; for example, convection or convection/infrared

heating in a conveyor type oven. Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling)

vary between 100 seconds and 200 seconds depending on heating method.

Typical reﬂow peak temperatures range from 215 °Cto270°C depending on solder paste

material. The top-surface temperature of the packages should preferably be kept:

•below 225 °C (SnPb process) or below 245 °C (Pb-free process)

–for all BGA, HTSSON..T and SSOP..T packages

–for packages with a thickness ≥2.5 mm

–for packages with a thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume ≥350 mm3 so called

thick/large packages.

•below 240 °C (SnPb process) or below 260 °C (Pb-free process) for packages with a

thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume < 350 mm3 so called small/thin packages.

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on packing, must be respected at all times.

13.3 Wave soldering

Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended for surface mount devices

(SMDs) or printed-circuit boards with a high component density, as solder bridging and

non-wetting can present major problems.

To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering method was speciﬁcally

developed.

If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be observed for optimal results:

•Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a turbulent wave with high upward

pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave.

•For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):

–larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis is preferred to be

parallel to the transport direction of the printed-circuit board;

Philips Semiconductors SC16C754B

5 V, 3.3 V and 2.5 V quad UART, 5 Mbit/s (max.) with 64-byte FIFOs

–smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis must be parallel to the

transport direction of the printed-circuit board.

The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the downstream end.

•For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must be placed at a 45° angle to

the transport direction of the printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate

solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.

During placement and before soldering, the package must be ﬁxed with a droplet of

adhesive. The adhesive can be applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe

dispensing. The package can be soldered after the adhesive is cured.

Typical dwell time of the leads in the wave ranges from 3 seconds to 4 seconds at 250 °C

or 265 °C, depending on solder material applied, SnPb or Pb-free respectively.

A mildly-activated ﬂux will eliminate the need for removal of corrosive residues in most

applications.

13.4 Manual soldering

Fix the component by ﬁrst soldering two diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage

(24 V or less) soldering iron applied to the ﬂat part of the lead. Contact time must be

limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 °C.

When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in one operation within

2 seconds to 5 seconds between 270 °C and 320 °C.

13.5 Package related soldering information

[1] For more detailed information on the BGA packages refer to the

(LF)BGA Application Note

(AN01026);

order a copy from your Philips Semiconductors sales ofﬁce.

[2] All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the

maximum temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or

external package cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn

effect). For details, refer to the Drypack information in the

Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit

Packages; Section: Packing Methods

[3] These transparent plastic packages are extremely sensitive to reﬂow soldering conditions and must on no

account be processed through more than one soldering cycle or subjected to infrared reﬂow soldering with

peak temperature exceeding 217 °C±10 °C measured in the atmosphere of the reﬂow oven. The package

body peak temperature must be kept as low as possible.

[4] These packages are not suitable for wave soldering. On versions with the heatsink on the bottom side, the

solder cannot penetrate between the printed-circuit board and the heatsink. On versions with the heatsink

on the top side, the solder might be deposited on the heatsink surface.

[5] If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45° angle to the solder wave

direction. The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.

[6] Wave soldering is suitable for LQFP, QFP and TQFP packages with a pitch (e) larger than 0.8 mm; it is

deﬁnitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm.

[7] Wave soldering is suitable for SSOP, TSSOP, VSO and VSSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger

than 0.65 mm; it is deﬁnitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5 mm.

[8] Image sensor packages in principle should not be soldered. They are mounted in sockets or delivered

pre-mounted on ﬂex foil. However, the image sensor package can be mounted by the client on a ﬂex foil by

using a hot bar soldering process. The appropriate soldering proﬁle can be provided on request.

[9] Hot bar soldering or manual soldering is suitable for PMFP packages.
