1.1 Introduction

Quad flatpack no lead (QFN) packages and small-outline no lead (SON) packages are thermally enhanced plastic packages that use conventional copper leadframe technology. This construction results in a cost-effective advanced packaging solution that helps to maximize board space with improved electrical and thermal performance over traditional leaded packages.

QFNs have solder lands on all four sides of the package. SONs typically have solder lands on two sides of the package.

QFNs and SONs are available in a number of formats. QFNs and SONs are molded and mechanically singulated from a matrix leadframe. Package size is determined by several key factors including die size, number of terminations, etc.

All QFNs and SONs are leadless packages with electrical connections made via lands on the bottom side of the component to the surface of the connecting substrate [printed circuit boards (PCB), ceramic]. The standard QFN and SON package has an exposed pad that enhances the thermal and electrical characteristics, enabling high-power and high-frequency applications.

Note:

This QFN and SON PCB application report is intended as a guide. Precise process development and experimentation are needed to optimize specific applications/performance.
