Please follow the recommended assembly guidelines for the LMG2100R026 samples:
- Use low temperature solder paste (like Sn42-Bi58) whose melting temperature is around 130℃-140℃.
- Soldering using bottom side heating:
- Recommended for thinner board (less than or equal to four layers) with no components directly underneath the device.
- Place the solder paste as per the stencil recommendation given in the data sheet.
- Board held on a pedestal at around 2-3 cm from the top of the hot air blower and device is aligned to keep on the footprint.
- Soldering using top side heating:
- This method is recommended for thicker board (more than 4 layers).
- Use hot air gun (with temperature set to 400℃) and blow the air around the device avoiding directly above the device (temperature can be higher but used for shorter duration).
- Look for proper soldering connection of signal pins. If there are excess solder, then please remove them manually using solder iron.
- Avoid putting excess solder paste especially near the edge of PGND pad (pin number 6).
- If the assembly is done through automatic re flow oven, then set the temperature to less than 180℃.
