PCB Design Requirements

PCB Surface Finish

The PCB surface finish used for RFMD’s qualification process is electroless nickel, immersion gold. Typical

thickness is 3 µinch to 8 µinch gold over 180µinch nickel.

PCB Land Pattern Recommendation

PCB land patterns are based on IPC-SM-782 standards when possible. The pad pattern shown has been

developed and tested for optimized assembly at RFMD; it may require some modifications to address company

specific assembly processes. The PCB land pattern has been developed to accommodate lead and package

tolerances.
