Identifying Package Orientation Using Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) Systems
Automated optical inspection (AOI) systems are used in the PCB assembly process to identify the device orientation during device placement. Typically, on non-optical packages, the pin 1 marker is a white dot or indentation on the black package. This is used by the AOI system to orient the package. Light sensor ICs such as OPT3005 utilize a transparent package to allow light to enter the package and reach the sensor. This section provides instruction for determining orientation on the package. The following figures show how the package can be oriented from the bottom and top side. On the bottom side the package has a pin 1 identifier. On the top side there are four features that can be used to orient the device. 1) the pin 1 identifier can be seen through the package. 2) and 3) the bond wires and bond pads on the die can also be used. The asymmetry in either wires or pads (4 at the top and 2 at the bottom) can be used to orient the device. 4) the rectangular feature on the die indicates orientation.
