7. Functional description

7.1 FM mixer 1

The FM quadrature mixer 1 converts FM RF (65 MHz to 108 MHz) to an IF frequency of

10.7 MHz. The FM mixer provides image rejection and a large dynamic range. Low and

high injection Local Oscillator (LO) can be selected via the I2C-bus.

7.2 FM RF AGC

AGC detection at the FM front-end mixer input with programmable threshold. When the

threshold is exceeded, the PIN diode drive circuit sources a current to an external PIN

diode circuit, keeping the RF signal level constant. Keyed AGC function is selectable via

the I2C-bus and uses the in-band level information derived from the limiter. The AGC PIN

diode drive circuit can optionally deliver a ﬁxed current; this local mode can be used for

search tuning on absolute RF levels. In AM mode, the FM AGC PIN diode drive circuit can

be set to source a ﬁxed current into the external FM PIN diode circuitry.

7.3 FM mixer 2

The FM quadrature mixer 2 converts 10.7 MHz IF1 to 450 kHz IF2 and includes image

rejection with the integrated channel ﬁlter. Two gain settings can be selected to

compensate for high ceramic ﬁlter insertion loss.

7.4 FM IF2 channel ﬁlter

The order and dynamic range of the FM IF2 channel ﬁlter is designed for operation with

only one external ceramic ﬁlter. The ﬁlter characteristic is optimized to combine high

selectivity with low distortion. The bandwidth of the ﬁlter can be set to a range of ﬁxed

settings or automatically via the bandwidth control algorithm. When the automatic mode is

selected the bandwidth depends on the signal conditions.

NXP Semiconductors TEF6901A

Integrated car radio

7.5 FM limiter and level detection

The limiter ampliﬁes the IF ﬁlter output signal, removes AM modulations from the IF signal

and supplies a well deﬁned signal for the FM demodulator. From the limiter also the Radio

Signal Strength Information (RSSI) is derived whichis converted to a suitable level voltage

with minimum temperature drift.

7.6 FM demodulator

The fully integrated FM demodulator converts the IF signal from the limiter to the

FM multiplex output signal with low distortion.

7.7 Center frequency and bandwidth tuning and center frequency DAA

The center frequency as well as the bandwidth of both the IF ﬁlter and demodulator are

coupled to the crystal reference frequency. A coarse alignment (IFCAP) sets the circuit

operating range and the center frequency ﬁne adjustment is achieved with a 6-bit

alignment (IFCF).

7.8 Bandwidth control algorithm

The bandwidth of the IF ﬁlter can be selected with 5 bits, directly via I2C-bus or

automatically via the bandwidth control algorithm. The bandwidth control algorithm

detects the amount of adjacent channel interference, the deviation of the desired signal,

detuning, multipath and signal strength to deﬁne the optimum bandwidth setting of the

IF ﬁlter. Flexibility on the algorithm settings is provided via the I2C-bus control.

7.9 VCO and dividers

The varactor tuned LC oscillator together with the dividers provides the local oscillator

signal for both AM and FM front-end mixers. The VCO has an operating frequency of

approximately 160 MHz to 250 MHz. In FM mode the VCO frequency is divided by 2 or 3.

These dividers generate in-phase and quadrature-phase output signals used in the

FM front-end mixer for image rejection. In AM mode the VCO frequency is divided by 6, 8,

10, 16 or 20 depending on the selected AM band. The amplitude of the VCO is controlled

by a digital AGC to ensure a safe oscillation start-up at a wide range of the loaded Q.

7.10 Crystal oscillator

The crystal oscillator provides a 20.5 MHz signal. A divider-by-two generates in-phase

and quadrature-phase mixer frequencies for the conversion from IF1 to IF2 including

image rejection. The reference divider generates from the crystal frequency various

reference frequencies for the tuning PLL. Also timing signals for the sequential machine

as well as references for the integrated FM channel ﬁlter, the stereo decoder and the

integrated audio ﬁlters and the RDS demodulator are derived from the crystal reference.

7.11 Tuning PLL

The tuning PLL locks the VCO frequency divided by the programmable divider ratio to the

reference frequency. Due to the combination of different charge pump signals in the

PLL loop ﬁlter, the loop parameters are adapted dynamically. Tuning to different

RF frequencies is done by changing the programmable divider ratio. The tuning step size

is selected with the reference frequency divider setting.

NXP Semiconductors TEF6901A

Integrated car radio

7.12 Antenna DAA

For FM operation the antenna Digital Auto Alignment (DAA) measures the VCO tuning

voltage and multiplies it with a factor deﬁned by the 7-bit DAA setting to generate a tuning

voltage for the FM antenna tank circuit (RF selectivity). In AM mode the DAA setting

controls a ﬁxed voltage.

7.13 AM RF AGC control

The AM front-end is designed for the application of an external Junction Field Effect

Transistor (JFET) low noise ampliﬁer with cascode AGC and PIN diode AGC both

controlled by an integrated AGC control circuit. Four AGC thresholds of the detector at the

ﬁrst mixer input are selectable via I2C-bus. Detectors at the RF mixer input and at the

AMIF2 input prevent undesired overload (see Figure 40). AGC information can be read

out via I2C-bus. The PIN diode current drive circuit includes a pull-up current source for

reverse biasing of the PIN diode, when the AGC is not active to achieve a low parasitic

capacitance.

7.14 AM mixer 1

The large dynamic range AM mixer converts AM RF (144 kHz to 26.1 MHz) to an IF

frequency of 10.7 MHz.

7.15 AM IF noise blanker

The spike detection for the AM IF noise blanker is at the output of the AM front-end mixer.

Blanking is realized at the second AM mixer.

7.16 AM IF AGC ampliﬁer and demodulator

The 450 kHz IF2 signal after the ceramic channel selection ﬁlter is ampliﬁed by the

IFAGC ampliﬁer and demodulated.

7.17 AM level detection

The IF2 signal used for AM IF AGC and demodulation is also used in the limiter circuit for

in-band level detection.

7.18 AM and FM level DAA

The start and slope of the level detector output are programmable to achieve level

information independent of gain spread in the signal channel.

7.19 AM and FM IF counter

The output signal from the limiter is used for IF counting in both AM and FM.

7.20 Tuning mute

A soft slope tuning mute is controlled by the sequential machine for different tuning

actions to eliminate audible effects of tuning and band switching.

NXP Semiconductors TEF6901A

Integrated car radio

7.21 FM stereo decoder

A low-pass ﬁlter provides additional suppression of high frequency interferences at the

stereo decoder input and the necessary signal delay for FM noise blanking.

The MPX signal is decoded in the stereo decoder part. An integrated oscillator and pilot

PLL is used for the regeneration of the 38 kHz subcarrier. The required 19 kHz

and 38 kHz signals are generated by division of the oscillator output signal in logic

circuitry.

By means of a 19 kHz quadrature detector the pilot PLL oscillator frequency is locked to

the incoming 19 kHz stereo pilot. A pilot level voltage derived from a 19 kHz in-phase

detector is used for stereo detection and for generation of an anti-phase 19 kHz signal to

remove the pilot tone from the audio signal.

The signal is then decoded in the decoder part. The L-R side signal is demodulated using

the 38 kHz subcarrier and combined with the main signal to the left and right audio

channel. A ﬁne adjustment is done by adjusting the gain of the L-R signal. A smooth mono

to stereo takeover is achieved by controlling the efﬁciency of the matrix by the Stereo

Noise Control (SNC) signal from the weak signal processing block.

7.22 FM and AM AF noise blanker

The FM or AM tuner operation selects between two noise blanker operations optimized for

FM or AM ignition noise suppression.

In FM mode the noise blanker operates as a modiﬁed sample and hold circuit with

ultrasonic noise detection on MPX and detection of noise spikes on level.

In AM mode the audio signal is muted during the interference pulse triggered by slew-rate

detection of the audio signal.

7.23 Fixed high cut and high cut control

The high cut part is a low-pass ﬁlter circuit with seven bandwidth settings. The cut-off

frequencies of the ﬁlter curves can be selected to match different application requirements

(ﬁxed high cut).

The high cut circuit also provides a dynamic control of the ﬁlter response, the High Cut

Control (HCC). This function is controlled by the HCC signal from the weak signal

processing.

7.24 De-emphasis

The signal passes the low-pass ﬁlter de-emphasis block and is then fed to the source

selector. The de-emphasis time constant can be selected between the standards of 50 µs

and 75 µs.

7.25 Weak signal processing

The weak signal processing block detects quality degradations in the incoming signal and

controls the processing of the audio signal accordingly. The weak signal processing block

has three different quality criteria: The average value of the level voltage, AM components

on the level voltage (WAM = wideband AM) and high frequency components in the MPX

signal (USN = ultrasonic noise).

Product data sheet Rev. 03 — 20 March 2008 11 of 107

NXP Semiconductors TEF6901A

Integrated car radio

In the weak signal processing block these signals are combined in speciﬁc ways and used

for the generation of control signals for soft mute, stereo blend (SNC = stereo noise

control) and HCC. Detector time constants of soft mute, HCC and SNC can be selected

independently.

In AM mode, soft mute and HCC are controlled by the average value of the level voltage.

7.26 Audio step interpolation

The tone/volume blocks of source selector, volume/balance, bass/loudness, fader and

output mute include the Audio Step Interpolation (ASI) function. This minimizes audible

pops by smoothing the transitions in the audio signal during the switching of the controls.

7.27 Source selector

The source selector selects one out of several input sources:

•One internal stereo signal (AM/FM tuner)

•Seven input pins allow many combinations of external sources by means of ﬂexible

input selection

Three of the seven input pins can connect to:

–1 stereo signal with ground input for common mode rejection (CD)

–1 stereo signal and 1 mono signal

Four more input pins can connect to:

–1 stereo signal (AUX) and 1 mono signal with common mode rejection or

differential input (PHONE)

–1 stereo signal (AUX) and 2 mono signals (e.g. NAV and BEEP)

–2 stereo signals (AUX and AUX-2)

–1 stereo signal with common mode rejection (CD-2) and 1 mono signal (e.g.

BEEP)

–1 stereo signal with differential input (CD-symmetrical)

7.28 VU-meter read

The input audio level of external sources can read out via the I2C-bus. Audio level

information is available on a logarithmic scale. In radio mode the AM or FM modulation

index is available in the same way.

7.29 Volume and balance

The volume/balance control is used for volume setting and also for balance adjustment.

The control range of the volume/balance control is between +20 dB and −75 dB in steps

of 1 dB.

7.30 CD compression

Dynamic volume compression is available for external input sources. This option is

generally used for audio from CD or other digital formats to reduce the very high dynamic

range of these signals into a range suitable for the car environment.

7.31 Bass

The bass tone control stage controls the low audio frequencies with a modiﬁed shelve

curve response. The control range is between +14 dB and −14 dB in steps of 2 dB. Four

different ﬁlter cut-off frequencies can be selected.

7.32 Treble

The treble tone control stage controls the high audio frequencies with a shelve curve

response. The control range is between +14 dB and −14 dB in steps of 2 dB. Four

different ﬁlter cut-off frequencies can be selected.

7.33 Loudness

An integrated loudness function can be activated which controls bass and treble in relation

to the user volume setting. The control range of the bass frequencies is limited to 20 dB

and the optional treble range to 4 dB. Different volume ranges can be selected for the

loudness control.

7.34 Fader

The fader is located at the end of the tone/volume chain. The balance between the front

and rear channel can be controlled by attenuation of either the front or the rear channel.

Control range is 0 dB to −64 dB with a step size of 1 dB. Optionally the fader attenuation

can be activated for front and rear channels together.

7.35 RDS/RBDS demodulator

The RDS demodulator recovers and regenerates the continuously transmitted RDS or

RBDS data stream that may be part of the FM MPX signal and provides the signals clock

(RDCL) and data (RDDA) for further processing by a hardware or software RDS decoder.

Unbuffered demodulator output and buffered 16-bit output mode are available. The output

modes are compatible with stand-alone demodulator devices as well as digital and analog

signal processor standards. In case of buffered output mode additional RDS Quality

(RDQ) demodulation quality information is available optional.

8. I2C-bus protocol

SDA and SCL HIGH and LOW internal thresholds are speciﬁed according to both 2.5 V

and 3.3 V I2C-bus, however also SDA and SCL signals froma5Vbusaresupported. The

maximum I2C-bus communication speed is 400 kbit/s in accordance with the I2C-bus fast

mode speciﬁcation.

8.1 Read mode

Application restriction to use the read mode: Read transmissions should not be

stopped after read byte 4 (IFBW) since this will disturb level read-out, weak signal

processing and bandwidth control. Read transmission can be stopped after any of the

other read bytes 0 to 3, 5 or 6.

After a tuning action, which is activated by the state machine, the IF counter is reset at

that moment when tuning is established (PLL in-lock). The ﬁrst counter result is available

from 2 ms after reset. For FM further results can be obtained from 4 ms, 8 ms, 16 ms and

32 ms after reset, the increasing count time attenuates inﬂuence of FM modulation on the

counter result. After this, the counter continues at the maximum count time of 32 ms (see

Figure 5). For AM the count time is ﬁxed to 2 ms and results are available every 2 ms.

After AF Update (AFU) sampling the IF counter read value is held (IFCM = 10) (see

Figure 6,Figure 17 and Figure 18) for easy I2C-bus read-out. The counter itself remains

active in the background in 2 ms count time mode. The IF counter data hold is released

after I2C-bus read.

IFCM reads 00 immediately after I2C-bus start of PRESET, SEARCH, AFU, JUMP or

After AF update sampling the level read value is held (indicated by IFCM = 10) for easy

I2C-bus read-out. The level detector remains active in the background. The LEV data hold

is released after I2C-bus read.

To reduce the inﬂuence of modulation in AM mode the LEV information is additionally

AF update and check tuning.

For standard operation the following level alignment (byte LEVELALGN; see Table 43) is

used:

FM and AM level slope; ∆LEV = 51 (∆VLEVEL = 0.80 V) at ∆VRF = 20 dB (measured at

VRF = 200 µVand VRF =20µV)

The indicated amplitude levels are approximate values.

In the case of FM radio, carrier modulation is measured (MPX FM deviation). Timing is

ﬁxed with fast 30 ms release time. Depending upon reception conditions and internal

offsets small modulation levels may be indicated as MOD[4:0] = 0 0000b. After AF update

sampling the MOD read value is held (indicated by IFCM = 10) for easy I2C-bus read-out.

The MOD detector remains active in the background. The MOD data hold is released after

I2C-bus read.

In the case of AM radio, carrier modulation is measured (AM). Timing is ﬁxed with fast

30 ms release time. Modulation may exceed 100 % in cases of special modulation

schemes as used by some stations. After AF update sampling, the MOD read value is

held (indicated by IFCM = 10) for easy I2C-bus read-out. The MOD detector remains

active in the background. The MOD data hold is released after I2C-bus read.

With external source selection and VU-meter mode disabled (AVUM = 0 and COMP = 0)

FM or AM modulation is indicated equal to radio mode.

With external source selection and VU-meter mode enabled (AVUM=1orCOMP = 1) the

audio input level of the external source is indicated (i.e. the audio level as found on the line

input pins). For stereo signals left and right channels are combined for MOD read

(0.5 ×L+0.5× R). VU-meter timing is deﬁned by setting HTC. For AVUM control see

subaddress 17h; see Table 97. In case of AF update sampling the AM or FM modulation

value is indicated with data hold (indicated by IFCM = 10) for easy I2C-bus read-out. The

MOD data hold is released after I2C-bus read and VU-meter indication continues.

8.1.7 Read mode: data byte TEMP

8.2 Write mode

The device is controlled by the I2C-bus. After the Integrated Circuit (IC) address the MSA

byte contains the control of the tuning action via the bits MODE[2:0] and subaddressing

via bits SA[4:0] (see Figure 8).

All circuits are controlled by the CONTROL register. Any data change in the CONTROL

subaddress range 00h to 05h includes data that may lead to audible disturbance when

changed. Therefore the subaddress range 00h to 05h is not loaded in the CONTROL

of tuning actions and mute control, freeing the microcontroller from cumbersome controls

and timings. The subaddress range of 06h onwards does not contain such critical data.

I2C-bus information in this range will be loaded in the CONTROL register directly (at

acknowledge of each byte).

Controlled by a state machine the BUFFER data will be loaded in the CONTROL register

for new settings. However at the same time the CONTROL data is loaded in the BUFFER

previous data remains available in the BUFFER register (see Figure 10,Figure 11 and

Figure 12).

Via MODE several operational modes can be selected for the state machine. MODE offers

all standard tuning actions as well as generic control for ﬂexibility. The state machine

controls the tuner directly by controlling the I2C-bus data. Internal circuits like the IF

counter, mute and weak signal processing are controlled complementary to the tuner

action. The state machine operation starts at the end of transmission (P = STOP). In case

a previous action is still active this is overruled and the new action deﬁned by MODE is

started immediately.

When only the address byte is transmitted no action is started and no setting is changed,

this can be used to test the presence of the device on the bus. To minimize the I2C-bus

transmission time only bytes that include data changes need to be written. Following the

MSA byte the transmission can start at any given data byte deﬁned by the subaddress

(SA) bits. In case of MODE = preset, search or load the value of buffered data that is not

overwritten by the new transmission will equal the control register content, i.e. the current

tuner state. Instead in case of MODE = buffer, AF update, jump, check or end any not

overwritten BUFFER data remains to be the existing BUFFER register content, i.e. the

previous tuner state.

After power-on reset, all registers, including the reserved registers, should be initialized

with their default settings (see Table 22) using a preset mode tuning action (see Table 25).

The tuning mute circuit is muted. An action of the state machine is required to de-mute the

circuit, for this purpose preset mode (bits MODE[2:0] = 001) is best ﬁtted since it assures

fast settling of all parameters before mute is released.

Integrated car radio

Since buffer mode (bits MODE[2:0] = 000) does not change any tuner action or register

other then those deﬁned by the I2C-bus write transmission it generally is the mode used

for writing outside the buffered subaddress range (i.e. bits SA[4:0] = 06h to 1Fh). Writing

in the subaddress range of 06h to 1Fh is executed immediately and is not controlled by

the state machine. Load mode does not interrupt a state machine process, the preload

action changes the content of the BUFFER register which may interfere with a tuner

action in progress.

When a new state machine tuning action is started during a mute state of the state

machine, the new action skips the unnecessary activation of mute and starts immediately

with the actions that follow the mute period in the standard sequence. In this way fastest

timing is possible e.g. for search tuning (see Figure 14,Figure 16,Figure 20 and

Figure 22). When AF update mode is started during a mute state only the return tuning

action will be performed; in combination with check mode an AF update can be created

with the AF sampling time deﬁned by I2C-bus control (see Figure 18).

The FM IF2 signal path contains a digital controlled AGC function with a maximum AGC

decay time of 13 ms to realize sufﬁcient AM suppression during changing signal

conditions and high modulation situations. During the settling of the AGC (e.g. after a

tuning action), the gain of the FM path and the level detection can be affected. To get

correct signal quality information, a minimum time of 13 ms should be used between two

tuning actions.

8.2.8 Write mode: data byte LEVELALGN

For I2C-bus reading of the level voltage and standard alignment see read data byte 1

(see Table 10).

Level alignment should begin with slope alignment (LSL): the level slope does not change

with level start alignment (LST) or broadcast band; therefore a single LSL alignment

setting can be used for all FM and AM band selections.

Level start may change between broadcast bands; therefore generally a separate LST

alignment and setting is used for every broadcast band.

The fully integrated IF2 ﬁlter of the TEF6901A has to be aligned in order to achieve the

optimum performance at all ambient conditions.

8.2.10.1 Factory alignment of bits IFCAP[3:0]

FM IF ﬁlter operation point alignment: data byte IFCAP: a single alignment of the FM IF

ﬁlter operation range secures an accurate and continuous frequency setting over the full

temperature range and all FM bands.

1. Set bit IFCAPA to logic 1 to disable internal IFCAP control

2. Decrease IFCAP from 15 downwards until I2C-bus read bit IFCAPG (read byte 5; ID)

changes from logic 1 to logic 0

3. Save this IFCAP setting as alignment value

4. Set bit IFCAPA to logic 0 to return to normal operation

8.2.10.2 Initialization of the radio

During radio initialization bit IFCAPA (is logic 1) is used for writing the stored IFCAP[3:0]

value. Afterwards set bit IFCAPA to a logic 0 to start normal operation. Writing of the

IFCAP byte with the alignment value is allowed during radio operation but requires a

setting of bit IFCAPA to logic 0.

8.2.10.3 Factory alignment of IFCF

FM IF ﬁlter center frequency alignment: data byte IFCF: to correct IF frequency errors

caused by an error in the crystal frequency the alignment is preferably performed for every

FM band in use. A test frequency in the center of the band is preferred. An accurate

alignment result is realized by testing for symmetrical ﬁlter attenuation.

1. Set RF generator level VRF = 200 µV

2. Set bit IFCFA to logic 1 to enable fast settling of the ﬁlter frequency

3. Set bit IFNBW to logic 1 for accuracy (ﬁlter is set to narrow 57 kHz bandwidth)

4. Test high side of ﬁlter curve: tune to fRF − 50 kHz (Europe/USA) or fRF + 33.3 kHz

(Japan/OIRT)

5. Change IFCF from 0 to 63 and note the level read result (level voltages)

6. Test low side of ﬁlter curve: tune to fRF + 50 kHz (Europe/USA) or fRF − 33.3 kHz

(Japan/OIRT)

7. Change IFCF from 0 to 63 and note the level voltages

8. Find the IFCF value where both level curves cross (lowest difference) and save this

IFCF value

8.2.13 Write mode: data byte TIMING

[1] During the tuning mute of the preset and search mode tuning action the time constants set by STC, HTC

and MTC change to tattack =50msandt

recovery = 50 ms to enable fast settling of the weak signal processing

to new conditions.

[1] When for an external audio source VU-meter mode is enabled (bits AVUM or COMP are logic 1) the HTC

setting controls the trecovery VU-meter timing, tattack has a ﬁxed value of 20 ms; see Table 99.

[1] When for an external audio source dynamic compression is enabled (bit COMP is logic 1) the MTC setting

controls the trecovery compression timing, tattack has a ﬁxed value of 20 ms; see Table 80.

[2] The attack time is the time, which the weak signal processing needs to realize a full control change for a

level voltage change between HIGH level (where the weak signal processing is inactive) and 0.75 V level

voltage.

[3] The recovery time is the time needed for the full control change when the level voltage rises from 0.75 V to

HIGH level.

MOD and offset is limited to AF update tuning only. For dynamic compression the bits MOD[4:0] indicate the external source input

amplitude as in the VU-meter mode; AVUM; data byte 17h (see Table 97). The FM dynamic bandwidth control is disabled and a ﬁxed

bandwidth of 113 kHz is deﬁned. However, other ﬁxed bandwidth settings are available by DYN = 0 and the setting of BW; data byte 0h

(see Table 28). The compression recovery timing is controlled by data byte 0Bh; TIMING (see Table 80). Compression start and slope

are controlled by data byte 0Eh; SOFTMUTE (see Table 81 and Table 82). Standard compression requires a setting of MST = 7 and

Dynamic compression is realized by attenuation of the volume setting. To match the audio

amplitudes with and without compression a higher volume (VOL) setting should be selected

when compression is activated. The VOL correction value used deﬁnes the positioning of the

compression characteristic high signal attenuation and low signal ampliﬁcation.

In this example: COMP = 0: VOL = ‘user volume’; COMP = 1: VOL = ‘user volume’ + 15.

[1] The overall gain is the sum of the input gain setting ING[3:0] and the volume setting VOL[6:0].

The overall gain has a range of +28 dB to −83 dB.

For ING + VOL > 28 dB the overall gain is 28 dB.

For ING + VOL < −83 dB the mute is active.

[2] For overall gain values below −75 dB (ING + VOL < −75 dB) the gain steps have a monotonous sequence.

The values of gain set error, gain step error and gain tracking error are not speciﬁed. The minimum gain

quality detection of USN, MOD and offset is limited to AF update tuning only. During VU-meter mode the

17. Soldering

This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account

of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note

AN10365 “Surface mount reﬂow

soldering description”

17.1 Introduction to soldering

Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both

the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is

ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and

Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not

suitable for ﬁne pitch SMDs. Reﬂow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high

densities that come with increased miniaturization.

17.2 Wave and reﬂow soldering

Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from

a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:

•Through-hole components

•Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board

Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless

packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,

leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,

due to an increased probability of bridging.

The reﬂow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by

component placement and exposure to a temperature proﬁle. Leaded packages,

packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reﬂow solderable.

Key characteristics in both wave and reﬂow soldering are:

•Board speciﬁcations, including the board ﬁnish, solder masks and vias

•Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation

•The moisture sensitivity level of the packages

•Package placement

•Inspection and repair

•Lead-free soldering versus PbSn soldering

17.3 Wave soldering

Key characteristics in wave soldering are:

•Process issues, such as application of adhesive and ﬂux, clinching of leads, board

transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are

exposed to the wave

•Solder bath speciﬁcations, including temperature and impurities

Product data sheet Rev. 03 — 20 March 2008 103 of 107

NXP Semiconductors TEF6901A

Integrated car radio

17.4 Reﬂow soldering

Key characteristics in reﬂow soldering are:

•Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reﬂow process usually leads to

higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 45) than a PbSn process, thus

reducing the process window

•Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process

window for a mix of large and small components on one board

•Reﬂow temperature proﬁle; this proﬁle includes preheat, reﬂow (in which the board is

heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak

temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste

characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the

packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package

depends on package thickness and volume and is classiﬁed in accordance with

Table 115 and 116

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all

times.

Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reﬂow

soldering, see Figure 45.
