Evaluation Board Layout for 1.9GHz
Board Size 1.195” x 1.000”
Board Thickness 0.033”, Board Material FR-4
Note: A small amount of ground inductance is required to achieve datasheet performance. The necessary inductance
may be generated by ensuring that no ground vias are placed directly below the footprint of the part.

Note: A small amount of ground inductance is required to achieve datasheet performance. The necessary inductance
may be generated by ensuring that no ground vias are placed directly below the footprint of the part.
The PCB surface finish used for RFMD’s qualification process is electroless nickel, immersion gold. Typical thickness is
3µinch to 8µinch 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; however, it may require some modifications to address company specific
assembly processes. The PCB land pattern has been developed to accommodate lead and package tolerances.

PCB Solder Mask Pattern
Liquid Photo-Imageable (LPI) solder mask is recommended. The solder mask footprint will match what is shown for the
PCB metal land pattern with a 2 mil to 3 mil expansion to accommodate solder mask regist ration clearance around all
pads. The center-grounding pad shall also have a solder mask clearance. Expansion of the pads to create s older mask
clearance can be provided in the master data or requested from the PCB fabrication supplier.

Thermal Pad and Via Design
Thermal vias are required in the PCB layout to effectively conduct heat away from the package. The via pattern has been
designed to address thermal, power dissipation and electrical requirements of the device as well as accommodating
routing strategies.
The via pattern used for the RFMD qualification is based on thru-hole vias with 0.203mm to 0.330mm finished hole size
on a 0.5 mm to 1.2mm grid patter n with 0.025mm plating on via walls. If micro vias are used in a design, it is suggested
that the quantity of vias be increased by a 4:1 ratio to achieve similar results.
