3.0 Test Procedure s
3.1 Package Environmental Test s
These tests are designed to demonstrate that the 20L 7x7mm Ceramic LCC surface mount family of packages are
capable of maintaining the specified parameters throughout their useful life under rated operating conditions. The
HMC5622LS7 was selected as the qualification vehicle to qualify the Ceramic LCC surface mount family of packages.
The results of these tests qualify by similarity all other product using the same package.
3.1.1 Initial Characteristics - 154 HMC5622LS7 devices were electrically tested for DC and critical RF parameters.
These tests are performed at ambient temperature (+25°C). This test was performed at Hittite. There were no failures in
this test.
3.1.2 MSL3 260°C Reflow Preconditioning – 154 devices from 3.1.1 were subjected to 192 hours at 30°C/ 60% RH
then a reflow simulation at a peak temperature of 260°C for 3 passes (see Figure 1 for profile).
3.1.3 Temperature Cycle - 77 devices from 3.1.2 were subjected to 500 cycles of non-operating temperature cycling
from -65°C to 150°C. This test is performed at Hittite.
3.1.4 Final Electrical Test - 77 devices from 3.1.3 were electrically tested at ambient temperature to DC and critical
RF parameters. Any out of specification parameter is considered a failure. This test was performed at Hittite. There
were no failures in this test.
3.1.5 Autoclave – 77 devices from 3.1.2 were subjected to 96 hours of humidity (100%), temperature (121°C) and
pressure (15 PSIG). This test is performed at Hittite using an Espec environmental chamber.
3.1.6 Final Electrical Test - 77 devices from 3.1.5 were electrically tested at ambient temperature to DC and critical
RF parameters. Any out of specification parameter is considered a failure. This test was performed at Hittite. There
were no failures in this test.
