Product specification

Hex buffer with open-drain outputs

74LVC07A

Suitability of surface mount IC packages for wave and reflow soldering methods

Notes

1. All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the maximum

temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or external package

cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn effect). For details, refer to the

Drypack information in the

“Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages; Section: Packing Methods”.

2. These packages are not suitable for wave soldering as a solder joint between the printed-circuit board and heatsink

(at bottom version) can not be achieved, and as solder may stick to the heatsink (on top version).

3. If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45

° angle to the solder wave direction.

The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.

4. Wave soldering is only suitable for LQFP, TQFP and QFP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.8 mm;

it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm.

5. Wave soldering is only suitable for SSOP and TSSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.65 mm; it is

definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5 mm.

Limiting values

Limiting values given are in accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 60134). Stress above one or

more of the limiting values may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and operation

of the device at these or at any other conditions above those given in the Characteristics sections of the specification

is not implied. Exposure to limiting values for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Application information

Where application information is given, it is advisory and does not form part of the specification.
