QFNs – CAD Library Series: Part 4

In the 4th of this 4 part whitepaper series dedicated to CAD library quality, we’ll describe each aspect to consider when creating QFN (Quad Flat No-Lead) component library parts. It also describes the impact each feature has in the PCB process.

The QFN component family includes the QFN and PQFNs with pullback leads. This paper discusses everything from the land sizes for both lead types to the placement courtyard and routing schemes to consider for different technology and density levels.
