GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADXRS453 is an angular rate sensor (gyroscope) intended
for industrial, instrumentation, and stabilization applications in
high vibration environments. An advanced, differential, quad
sensor design rejects the influence of linear acceleration, enabling
the ADXRS453 to offer high accuracy rate sensing in harsh
environments where shock and vibration are present.
The ADXRS453 uses an internal, continuous self-test architec-
ture. The integrity of the electromechanical system is checked by
applying a high frequency electrostatic force to the sense structure
to generate a rate signal that can be differentiated from the base-
band rate data and internally analyzed.
The ADXRS453 is capable of sensing an angular rate of up to
±300°/sec. Angular rate data is presented as a 16-bit word that
is part of a 32-bit SPI message.
The ADXRS453 is available in a 16-lead plastic cavity SOIC
(SOIC_CAV) and an SMT-compatible vertical mount package
(LCC_V), and is capable of operating across a wide voltage
range (3.3 V to 5 V).

RATE SENSITIVE AXIS
The ADXRS453 is available in two package options.
The SOIC_CAV package is for applications that require
z-axis (yaw) rate sensing.
The LCC_V (vertical mount) package is for applications
that require x-axis or y-axis (pitch or roll) rate sensing.
The package has terminals on two faces. However, the termi-
nals on the back are for internal evaluation only and should
not be used in the end application. The terminals on the
bottom of the package incorporate metallization bumps
that ensure a minimum solder thickness for improved solder
joint reliability. These bumps are not present on the back
terminals and, therefore, poor solder joint reliability can be
encountered if the back terminals are used in the end
application. For the outline dimensions of this package, see
Figure 38.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADXRS453 operates on the principle of a resonator gyroscope.
Figure 17 shows a simplified version of one of four polysilicon
sensing structures. Each sensing structure contains a dither frame
that is electrostatically driven to resonance. This produces the
necessary velocity element to produce a Coriolis force when the
device experiences angular rate. In the SOIC_CAV package, the
ADXRS453 is designed to sense a z-axis (yaw) angular rate; the
LCC_V vertical mount package orients the device such that it
can sense pitch or roll angular rate on the same PCB.
Figure 17. Simplified Gyroscope Sensing Structure
When the sensing structure is exposed to angular rate, the
resulting Coriolis force couples into an outer sense frame,
which contains movable fingers that are placed between fixed
pickoff fingers. This forms a capacitive pickoff structure that
senses Coriolis motion. The resulting signal is fed to a series of
gain and demodulation stages that produce the electrical rate
signal output. The quad sensor design rejects linear and angular
acceleration, including external g-forces and vibration. This is
achieved by mechanically coupling the four sensing structures
such that external g-forces appear as common-mode signals
that can be removed by the fully differential architecture
implemented in the ADXRS453.
The resonator requires 22.5 V (typical) for operation. Because
only 5 V is typically available in most applications, a switching
regulator is included on chip.
CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST
The ADXRS453 gyroscope implements a complete electro-
mechanical self-test. An electrostatic force is applied to the
gyroscope frame, resulting in a deflection of the capacitive sense
fingers. This deflection is exactly equivalent to deflection that
occurs as a result of external rate input. The output from the
beam structure is processed by the same signal chain as a true
rate output signal, providing complete coverage of both the
electrical and mechanical components.
The electromechanical self-test is performed continuously
during operation at a rate higher than the output bandwidth of
the device. The self-test routine generates equivalent positive
and negative rate deflections. This information can then be
filtered with no overall effect on the demodulated rate output.
Figure 18. Continuous Self-Test Demodulation
The difference amplitude between the positive and negative
self-test deflections is filtered to f0/8000 (~1.95 Hz) and is
continuously monitored and compared to hard-coded self-test
limits. If the measured amplitude exceeds these limits (listed in
Table 1), one of two error conditions is asserted, depending on
the magnitude of the self-test error.
For less severe self-test error magnitudes, the CST bit of the
fault register is asserted. However, the status bits (ST[1:0])
in the sensor data response remain set to 01 for valid
sensor data.
For more severe self-test errors, the CST bit of the fault
register is asserted and the status bits (ST[1:0]) in the
sensor data response are set to 00 for invalid sensor data.
Table 1 lists the thresholds for both of these failure conditions.
If desired, the user can access the self-test information by issuing
a read command to the self-test memory register (Address 0x04).
See the SPI Communication Protocol section for more informa-
tion about error reporting.

MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE
The ADXRS453 has excellent shock and vibration rejection.
Figure 19 shows the output noise response of the ADXRS453 in
a vibration free environment. Figure 20 shows the response of
the same device to 15 g rms random vibration (50 Hz to 5 kHz).
As shown in Figure 20, no frequencies are particularly sensitive
to vibration. Response to vibration in all axes is similar.
Shock response is also excellent, as shown in Figure 21 and
Figure 22. Figure 21 shows a 99 g input stimulus applied to
each axis, and Figure 22 shows the typical response to this
shock in each axis. Shock response of 0.01°/sec/g is apparent.

device to device and varies very predictably with temperature.
Table 6 contains statistical noise data at three temperature
points for a large population of ADXRS453 devices (more than
3000 parts from several manufacturing lots).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CALIBRATED PERFORMANCE
The ADXRS453 gyroscope uses internal EEPROM memory to
store its temperature calibration information. The calibration
information is encoded into the device during factory test. The
calibration data is used to perform offset, gain, and self-test cor-
rections over temperature. By storing this information internally,
the ADXRS453 eliminates the need for the customer to perform
system level temperature calibration.
MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR MOUNTING
Mount the ADXRS453 in a location close to a hard mounting
point of the PCB. Mounting the ADXRS453 at an unsupported
PCB location (that is, at the end of a lever or in the middle of a
trampoline, as shown in Figure 24) can result in apparent mea-
surement errors because the gyroscope is subject to the resonant
vibration of the PCB. Locating the gyroscope near a hard mounting
point helps to ensure that any PCB resonances at the gyroscope
are above the frequency at which harmful aliasing with the
internal electronics can occur. To ensure that aliased signals do
not couple into the baseband measurement range, design the
module so that the first system level resonance occurs at a
frequency higher than 800 Hz.

APPLICATION CIRCUITS
Figure 25 and Figure 26 show the recommended application
circuits for the ADXRS453 gyroscope. These application circuits
provide a connection reference for the available package types.
Note that DVDD, AVDD, and PDD are all individually connected to
ground through 1 F capacitors; do not connect these supplies
together. In addition, an external diode and inductor must be
connected for proper operation of the internal shunt regulator
(see Table 7). These components allow the internal resonator
drive voltage to reach its required level.

ADXRS453 SIGNAL CHAIN TIMING
The ADXRS453 primary signal chain is shown in Figure 27. The
signal chain is the series of necessary functional circuit blocks
through which the rate data is generated and processed. This
sequence of electromechanical elements determines how quickly
the device can translate an external rate input stimulus to an SPI
word that is sent to the master device.
The group delay, which is a function of the filter characteristic,
is the time required for the output of the low-pass filter to be
within 10% of the external rate input. In Figure 27, the group
delay is shown to be ~4 ms. Additional delay can be observed
due to the timing of SPI transactions and the population of the
rate data into the internal device registers. Figure 27 illustrates
this delay through each element of the signal chain.

SPI COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
COMMAND/RESPONSE
Input/output is handled through a 32-bit command/response
SPI interface. With the command/response SPI interface, the
response to a command is issued during the next sequential
SPI exchange (see Figure 28).
The format for the interface is defined as follows:
Clock Phase = Clock Polarity = 0
Table 9 shows the commands that can be sent from the master
device to the gyroscope. Table 10 shows the responses to these
commands from the gyroscope. For descriptions of the bits in
the commands and responses, see the Command/Response Bit
Definitions section and the Fault Register Bit Definitions
section.
The device response to the initial command is 0x00000001.
This response prevents the transmission of random data to the
master device upon the initial command/response exchange.
The SPI interface uses the ADXRS453 pins described in Table 8.

DEVICE DATA LATCHING
To allow for rapid acquisition of data from the ADXRS453,
device data latching is implemented, as shown in Figure 29.
When the chip select pin is asserted (CS goes low), the data
in the device is latched into memory. When the full MOSI
command is received and the chip select pin is deasserted
(CS goes high), the data is shifted into the SPI port registers
in preparation for the next sequential command/response
exchange. Device data latching allows for an extremely fast
sequential transfer delay of 0.1 µs (see Table 11).
Note that the transmitted data is only as recent as the sequential
transmission delay implemented by the system. Conditions that
result in a sequential transfer delay of several seconds cause the
next sequential device response to contain data that is several
seconds old.

COMMAND/RESPONSE BIT DEFINITIONS
Table 12. SPI Interface Bit Definitions
Bits Description
SQ2 to SQ0 Sequence bits (from master)
SM2 to SM0 Sensor module bits (from master)
A8 to A0 Register address
D15 to D0 Data
P Command odd parity
SPI SPI command/response
RE Request error
DU Data unavailable
ST1, ST0 Status bits
P0 Response, odd parity, Bits[31:16]
P1 Response, odd parity, Bits[31:0]
SQ2 to SQ0 Bits
The SQ2 to SQ0 bits provide the system with a means of synchro-
nizing the data samples that are received from multiple sensors.
To facilitate correct synchronization, the ADXRS453 gyroscope
includes the SQ[2:0] bits in the response sequence as they were
received in the request.
SM2 to SM0 Bits
The SM2 to SM0 bits are the sensor module bits from the master
device. These bits are not implemented in the ADXRS453 and
are hard-coded to 000 for all occurrences.
A8 to A0 Bits
The A8 to A0 bits represent the memory address for data read or
data write. These bits should be supplied by the master when the
memory registers are being accessed; these bits are ignored for all
sensor data requests. For a complete description of the available
memory registers, see the Memory Register Definitions section.
D15 to D0 Bits
The D15 to D0 bits are the 16-bit device data, which can
contain any of the following:
Data from the master to be written to a memory register, as
specified by the A8 to A0 bits.
Sensor rate output data from the slave.
Device data from the slave read from the memory register
specified by the A8 to A0 bits, as well as the data from the
next sequential register.
Following a write command, the 16-bit data that is written
to the specified memory register in the ADXRS453 and is
reflected back to the master device for correlation.
P Bit
A parity bit (P) is required for all master-to-slave data transmis-
sions. The communication protocol requires one parity bit to
achieve odd parity for the entire 32-bit command. “Don’t care”
bits are also factored into the parity calculation.
SPI Bit
The SPI bit is set when either of the following occurs:
Too many or not enough bits were transmitted.
A message from the control module contains a parity error.
A SPI error causes the device to issue a R/W error response
regardless of the SPI command type issued by the master
device (see Table 10). In addition, any error during a sensor
data request results in the device issuing a read/write error.
RE Bit
The request error (RE) bit is the communication error bit trans-
mitted from the ADXRS453 device to the control module. Request
errors can occur when
An invalid command is sent from the control module.
A read/write command specifies an invalid memory
register.
A write command attempted to write to a nonwritable
memory register.
DU Bit
After the chip select pin is deasserted (CS goes high), the user
must wait 0.1 µs before reasserting the CS pin to initiate another
command/response frame with the device. Failure to adhere to
this timing specification may result in a data unavailable (DU)
error.
ST1 and ST0 Bits
The status bits (ST1 and ST0) are used to signal to the master
device the type of data contained in the response message (see
Table 13).
Table 13. Status Bit Code Definitions
ST[1:0] Contents of Bits[D15:D0]
00 Invalid data for sensor data response
01 Valid sensor data
10 Sensor self-test data
11 Read/write response
Either of the following conditions can result in the ST[1:0] bits
being set to 00 during a sensor data response:
The self-test response is sufficiently different from its
nominal value (see the Specifications section for the
appropriate limits).
The PLL fault bit is active (see the PLL Bit section).
P0 Bit
P0 is the parity bit that establishes odd parity for Bits[31:16]
of the device response.
P1 Bit
P1 is the parity bit that establishes odd parity for the entire
32-bit device response.
ADXRS453 Data Sheet
Rev. B | Page 18 of 32
FAULT REGISTER BIT DEFINITIONS
Table 14 describes the bits available for signaling faults to
the user. The individual bits of the fault registers are updated
asynchronously, depending on their respective detection criteria;
however, it is recommended that the fault registers be read at a
rate of at least 250 Hz. When asserted, an individual status bit
is not deasserted until it is read by the master device. If the error
persists after a fault register read, the status bit is immediately
reasserted and remains asserted until the next sequential
command/response exchange. The bits in the FAULT0 register are
appended to every sensor data response (see Table 10). Both
fault registers can be accessed by issuing a read command to
Address 0x0A.
Table 14. Fault Register Bit Definitions
Register Bit Name Description
FAULT1 Fail Failure that sets the ST[1:0] bits to 00
AMP Amplitude detection failure
OV Regulator overvoltage
UV Regulator undervoltage
FAULT0 PLL Phase-locked loop failure
Q Quadrature error
NVM Nonvolatile memory fault
POR Power-on or reset failed to initialize
PWR
Power regulation failed due to over-
voltage or undervoltage condition
CST
Continuous self-test failure or amplitude
detection failed
CHK Check: generate faults
Fail Bit
The fail flag is asserted when the ST[1:0] bits are set to 00 (see
the ST1 and ST0 Bits section). Assertion of the fail bit indicates
that the device has experienced a gross failure and that the sensor
data could be invalid.
AMP Bit
The AMP fault bit is asserted when the measured amplitude
of the silicon resonator has been significantly reduced. This
condition can occur if the voltage supplied to CP5 falls below
the requirements of the internal voltage regulator. This fault bit
is OR’ed with the CST fault bit; therefore, during a sensor data
request, the CST bit position represents either an AMP failure
or a CST failure. The full fault register can be read from memory
to determine the specific failure.
OV Bit
The OV fault bit is asserted if the internally regulated voltage
(nominally 3 V) is observed to exceed 3.3 V. This measurement
is low-pass filtered to prevent artifacts such as noise spikes from
asserting a fault condition. When an OV fault occurs, the PWR
fault bit is asserted simultaneously. Because the OV fault bit is not
transmitted as part of a sensor data response, it is recommended
that the user read back the FAULT1 and FAULT0 memory
registers upon the assertion of a PWR error to determine the
specific error condition.
UV Bit
The UV fault bit is asserted if the internally regulated voltage
(nominally 3 V) is observed to be less than 2.77 V. This mea-
surement is low-pass filtered to prevent artifacts such as noise
spikes from asserting a fault condition. When a UV fault occurs,
the PWR fault bit is asserted simultaneously. Because the UV
fault bit is not transmitted as part of a sensor data response, it is
recommended that the user read back the FAULT1 and FAULT0
memory registers upon the assertion of a PWR error to determine
the specific error condition.
PLL Bit
The PLL bit indicates that the device has experienced a failure
in the phase-locked loop functional circuit block. This occurs
when the PLL fails to achieve synchronization with the resonator
structure. If the PLL status flag is active, the ST[1:0] bits of the
sensor data response are set to 00, indicating that the response
contains potentially invalid rate data.
Q Bit
A Q fault is asserted based on two independent quadrature
calculations.
The quad memory register (Address 0x08) contains a value
corresponding to the total instantaneous quadrature present
in the device. If this value exceeds 4096 LSB, a Q fault is
issued.
An internal quadrature accumulator records the amount
of quadrature correction performed by the ADXRS453. A
Q fault is issued when the quadrature error present in the
device has contributed to an equivalent of 4°/sec (typical)
of rate offset.
NVM Bit
An NVM error is transmitted to the control module when the
internal nonvolatile memory data fails a checksum calculation.
This check is performed once every 50 µs and does not include
the PIDx memory registers.
POR Bit
An internal check is performed on device startup to ensure that
the volatile memory of the device is functional. This is accom-
plished by programming a known value from the device ROM
into a volatile memory register. This value is then continuously
compared to the known value in ROM every 1 µs for the duration
of the device operation. If the value stored in the volatile memory
changes or does not match the value stored in ROM, the POR
error flag is asserted. The value stored in ROM is rewritten to
the volatile memory upon a device power cycle.
Data Sheet ADXRS453
Rev. B | Page 19 of 32
PWR Bit
The device performs a continuous check of the internal 3 V
regulated voltage level. If either an overvoltage (OV) or under-
voltage (UV) fault is asserted, the PWR bit is also asserted. This
condition occurs if the regulated voltage is observed to be either
above 3.3 V or below 2.77 V. An internal low-pass filter removes
high frequency glitching effects to prevent the PWR bit from
being asserted unnecessarily. To determine whether the fault is
a result of an overvoltage or undervoltage condition, the OV
and UV fault bits must be read.
CST Bit
The ADXRS453 is designed with continuous self-test function-
ality. The measured self-test amplitudes are compared to the
limits presented in Table 1. Deviations from these values result
in reported self-test errors. The two thresholds for a self-test
failure are as follows:
Self-test value > ±512 LSB from nominal results in the
assertion of the self-test flag in the fault register.
Self-test value > ±1856 LSB from nominal results in the
assertion of the self-test flag in the fault register and the
setting of the ST[1:0] bits to 00, indicating that the rate
data contained in the sensor data response is potentially
invalid.
CHK Bit
The CHK bit is transmitted by the control module to the
ADXRS453 as a method of generating faults. By asserting the
CHK bit, the device creates conditions that result in the gener-
ation of all faults represented in the fault registers. For example,
the self-test amplitude is deliberately altered to exceed the fault
detection threshold, resulting in a self-test error. In this way, the
device is capable of checking both its ability to detect a fault
condition and its ability to report that fault condition to the
control module.
The fault conditions are initiated nearly simultaneously; how-
ever, the timing for receiving fault codes when the CHK bit is
asserted depends on the time required to generate each unique
fault. It takes no more than 50 ms for all internal faults to be
generated and the fault register to be updated to reflect the
condition of the device. Until the CHK bit is cleared, the status
bits (ST[1:0]) are set to 10, indicating that the data should be
interpreted by the control module as self-test data. After the
CHK bit is deasserted, an additional 50 ms are required for the
fault conditions to decay and for the device to return to normal
operation. See the Recommended Start-Up Sequence with CHK
Bit Assertion section for the proper methodology for asserting
the CHK bit.
ADXRS453 Data Sheet
Rev. B | Page 20 of 32
RECOMMENDED START-UP SEQUENCE WITH CHK
BIT ASSERTION
Figure 31 illustrates a recommended start-up sequence that can
be implemented by the user. Alternate start-up sequences can
be used, but the response from the ADXRS453 must be handled
correctly. If the start-up sequence is implemented immediately
after power is applied to the device, the total time to implement
the following fault detection routine is approximately 200 ms.
As described in the Device Data Latching section, the data
present in the device upon the assertion of the CS signal is used
in the next sequential command/response exchange. This results
in an apparent one-transaction delay before the data resulting
from the assertion of the CHK bit is reported by the device. For
all other read/write interactions with the device, no such delay
exists, and the MOSI command is serviced during the next
sequential command/response exchange.
Note that if the CHK bit is deasserted and the user tries to obtain
data from the device before the CST fault flag clears, the device
reports the data as error data.

RATE DATA FORMAT
The ADXRS453 gyroscope transmits rate data in a 16-bit format
as part of a 32-bit SPI data frame. See Table 10 for the full 32-bit
format of the sensor data response. The rate data is transmitted
MSB first, from D15 to D0.
The data is formatted as a twos complement number with a scale
factor of 80 LSB/°/sec. Therefore, the highest obtainable value
for positive (clockwise) rotation is 0x7FFF (decimal +32,767),
and the highest obtainable value for negative (counterclockwise)
rotation is 0x8000 (decimal −32,768). Performance of the device
is not guaranteed above ±24,000 LSB (±300°/sec).

MEMORY MAP AND REGISTERS
MEMORY MAP
Table 16 provides a list of the memory registers that can be
read from or written to by the user. See the SPI Communication
Protocol section for the proper input sequence to read from or
write to a specific memory register. Each memory register has
eight bits of data; however, when a read request is performed,
the data always returns as a 16-bit message. This is accomplished
by appending the data from the next sequential register to the
memory address that was specified.
Data is transmitted MSB first. For proper acquisition of data from
the memory register, make the read request to the even-numbered
register address only; for example, to read the LOCSTx registers,
Address Register 0x04, but not Register 0x05. For a description of
each memory register listed in Table 16, see the Memory Register
Definitions section.

MEMORY REGISTER DEFINITIONS
The SPI-accessible memory registers are described in this section.
As noted in the Memory Map section, when requesting data
from a memory register, only the first sequential memory address
should be addressed. The data returned by the device contains 16
bits of memory register information. Bits[15:8] contain the MSB
of the requested information, and Bits[7:0] contain the LSB.
Rate (RATEx) Registers
Addresses: 0x00 (RATE1)
0x01 (RATE0)
Register update rate: f0/32 (~485 Hz)
Scale factor: 80 LSB/°/sec
The RATEx registers contain the temperature compensated rate
output of the device, filtered to f0/200 (~77.5 Hz). This data can
also be accessed by issuing a sensor data read request to the device.
The data is presented as a 16-bit, twos complement number.

Temperature (TEMx) Registers
Addresses: 0x02 (TEM1)
0x03 (TEM0)
Register update rate: f0/32 (~485 Hz)
Scale factor: 5 LSB/°C
The TEMx registers contain a value corresponding to the
temperature of the device. The data is presented as a 10-bit,
twos complement number. 0 LSB corresponds to a temperature
of approximately 45°C (see Table 17).

Low CST (LOCSTx) Registers
Addresses: 0x04 (LOCST1)
0x05 (LOCST0)
Register update rate: f0/16 (~970 Hz)
Scale factor: 80 LSB/°/sec
The LOCSTx registers contain the value of the temperature
compensated and low-pass filtered continuous self-test delta.
This value is a measure of the difference between the positive
and negative self-test deflections and corresponds to the values
presented in Table 1. The device issues a CST error if the value
of the self-test exceeds the established self-test limits. The self-test
data is filtered to f0/8000 (~1.95 Hz) to prevent false triggering
of the CST fault bit. The data is presented as a 16-bit, twos com-
plement number, with a scale factor of 80 LSB/°/sec.

High CST (HICSTx) Registers
Addresses: 0x06 (HICST1)
0x07 (HICST0)
Register update rate: f0/16 (~970 Hz)
Scale factor: 80 LSB/°/sec
The HICSTx registers contain the unfiltered self-test information.
The HICSTx data can be used to supplement fault diagnosis in
safety critical applications because sudden shifts in the self-test
response can be detected. However, the CST bit of the fault
register is not set when the HICSTx data is observed to exceed
the self-test limits. Only the LOCSTx memory registers, which
are designed to filter noise and the effects of sudden temporary
self-test spiking due to external disturbances, control the asser-
tion of the CST fault bit. The data is presented as a 16-bit, twos
complement number.

Quad Memory (QUADx) Registers
Addresses: 0x08 (QUAD1)
0x09 (QUAD0)
Register update rate: f0/64 (~240 Hz)
Scale factor: 80 LSB/°/sec equivalent
The QUADx registers contain a value corresponding to the amount
of quadrature error present in the device at a given time. Quadra-
ture can be likened to a measurement of the error of the motion
of the resonator structure and can be caused by stresses and aging
effects. The quadrature data is filtered to f0/200 (~77.5 Hz) and can
be read frequently to detect sudden shifts in the level of quadrature.
The data is presented as a 16-bit, twos complement number.

Fault (FAULTx) Registers
Addresses: 0x0A (FAULT1)
0x0B (FAULT0)
Register update rate: Not applicable
Scale factor: Not applicable
The FAULTx registers contain the state of the error flags in the
device. The FAULT0 register is appended to the end of every
device data transmission (see Table 10); however, this register
can also be accessed independently through its memory location.
The individual fault bits are updated asynchronously, requiring
<5 µs to activate, as soon as the fault condition exists on chip. When
toggled, each fault bit remains active until the fault register is read
or a sensor data command is received. If the fault is still active
after the bit is read, the fault bit is immediately reasserted.

The (PIDx) registers contain a 16-bit number that identifies the
version of the ADXRS453. Combined with the serial number, this
information allows for a higher degree of device individualization
and tracking. The initial product ID is R01 (0x5201), with sub-
sequent versions of silicon incrementing this value to R02, R03,
and so on.

The SNx registers contain a 32-bit identification number that
uniquely identifies the device. To read the entire serial number,
two memory read requests must be initiated. The first read
request to Address 0x0E returns the upper 16 bits of the serial
number, and the following read request to Address 0x10 returns
the lower 16 bits of the serial number.

NOTES
1. THE PACKAGE HAS TERMINALS ON TWO FACES. HOWEVER, THE TERMINALS ON THE
BACK ARE FOR INTERNAL EVALUATION ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE USED IN THE END
APPLICATION. THE TERMINALS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PACKAGE INCORPORATE
METALLIZATION BUMPS THAT ENSURE A MINIMUM SOLDER THICKNESS FOR IMPROVED
SOLDER JOINT RELIABILITY. THESE BUMPS ARE NOT PRESENT ON THE BACK TERMINALS
AND, THEREFORE, POOR SOLDER JOINT RELIABILITY CAN BE ENCOUNTERED IF THE BACK
TERMINALS ARE USED IN THE END APPLICATION. FOR THE OUTLINE DIMENSIONS OF THIS
PACKAGE, SEE FIGURE 38.
