Philips Semiconductors this year released what it says is the world's smallest logic IC package for 14-, 16- and 20-pin functions. The depopulated very-thin Quad Flatpack No-leads (DQFN) package - for logic gates and octal ICs - is meant to address the market needs for smaller electronic products and components. The DQFN package enhances miniaturisation of the circuit board and frees board space for additional components and functions. Designed with a footprint of 2,5 by 3 mm in a 14-pin configuration, the DQFN package is 75% smaller than existing TSSOP packages. The package incorporates an exposed die paddle, providing a 20% improvement in heat dissipation over a comparable TSSOP. The package does not require leads, thereby eliminating co-planarity and bent-lead issues.
