ExposedPad™ SOIC / SSOP

ExposedPad SOIC / SSOPThis Amkor-developed family of power IC packages significantly increases the thermal efficiency of power-constrained standard SOIC and SSOP packages. The ExposedPad SOIC / SSOPs can increase heat dissipation by as much as 110% over standard packages, thereby expanding the margin of operating parameters. Additionally, the ExposedPad can be connected to ground, thereby reducing loop inductance for high frequency applications. The ExposedPad should be soldered directly to the PCB to realize the thermal and electrical benefits.

Applications:

Increased end-application densities and shrinking product sizes demand more from IC packages. ExposedPad SOIC / SSOPs give designers the needed margin for designing and producing high performing products such as telecom, disk drives, pagers, wireless, CATV / RF modules, radio and other similar applications. GaAs and hi-speed silicon technologies work especially well in ExposedPad SOIC / SSOP packages due to added shielding and grounding capabilities.

Features:

Exceptional performance through the innovative design of ExposedPad™ SOIC / SSOPs offer:

  • 8 and 16 lead count for ePad SOIC
  • 16 lead count for ePad SSOP
  • Reduced standoff height compared to standard SOIC / SSOP
  • Increased thermal efficiency:
    • 3.25 watt power handling capability for ePad 20LD SSOP, 0.75 watt for standard 20 LD SSOP
  • Solder plated exposed metal die pad
  • Up to 60% improvement in Theta JA (compared to a standard SOIC / SSOP)
  • Highly conductive copper leadframe
  • JEDEC MRT Level 3 without Down-bond
  • Low cost-effective solution than PowerSOP® and SSOP
  • All leads electrically active
