3.2.4.6 Semiconductors

Semiconductor footprint names shall be A B C:

  • A = IPC name e.g. SOIC, TSOPI, TSOPII, TSSOP, QFP, SOJ, BGA, add ‘–EP’ for exposed pad components.
  • B =
    • Pin count e.g. 16PIN
    • For BGA use BGA <pins>C<pitch>P<columns>X<rows>
    • For QFP use QFP <pitch>P<length>X<width>X<pins>C
    • For SOJ use SOJ <pitch>P<length>X<width>X<pins>C
  • C = density
    • SD
    • HD
