Quad Package Generator

Package name: jsl/landpatterns/quad

Generate landpatterns for packages with pins on 4-sides

This package contains a general purpose generator for creating square/rectangular packages that have pins along the 4 external edges of the package shape.

The generators defined here are parameterized to support multiple different types of packages.

TODO - add diagram here of the package - Explain west, south, east, north with respect to the diagram.

Definitions

Quad-Package

Base Quad Package Definition

public defstruct Quad-Package <: Package :
    lead-profile: Quad-Lead-Profile
    thermal-lead?: False|Shape|ThermalPad

  • lead-profile: Quad-Lead-Profile - Lead Profiles for All Edges of the Quad Package

  • thermal-lead?: False|Shape|ThermalPad - Optional thermal lead for the package.

The user is expected to inherit from this base implementation to create various quad packages like QFN, QFP, etc.

Constructors

Quad-Package

Constructor for defstruct Quad-Package

public defn Quad-Package ( -- num-leads:Int, lead-profile:Quad-Lead-Profile, thermal-lead?:False|Shape|ThermalPad, package-body:PackageBody, pad-planner:PadPlanner = ?, lead-numbering:Numbering = ?, density-level:DensityLevel = ?)

QuadGridPlanner

Quad Grid Planner

public defstruct QuadGridPlanner <: GridPlanner :
    param-sets: [Lead-Profile-Params, Lead-Profile-Params]
    row-sets: Int|Tuple<Int>

  • param-sets: [Lead-Profile-Params, Lead-Profile-Params] - Lead Profile Parameter Sets The quad package is assumed to support different Lead-Profiles on the Y-span (-X and +X column) and X-span (-Y and +Y columns). This value is expected to consist of the lead params in the following order: [Y-span, X-span]

  • row-sets: Int|Tuple<Int> - Row Sets for the columns of the grid. This value can optionally be a single number of rows which is applied to all columns. This is the most common for regular square quad packages. This value can also be a Tuple of integers identifying unique numbers of rows per column. This is most useful for rectangular quad packages with uneven numbers of pads on each lead span.

This grid planner supports Quad Package components like QFN, QFP, etc

The idea is that this constructs a 4-Column grid where: 1. Column 0 is in -X half plane and orders ascending for +Y to -Y 2. Column 1 is in the -Y half-plane and is rotated 90 degrees 3. Column 2 is in the +X half plane and is rotated 180 degrees 4. Column 3 is in the +Y half-plane and is rotated 270 degrees

This creates the typical numbering scheme for ICs:

Left-Row  Col 0               Col 2    Right-Row
       Col 3 ->  16 15 14 13
   0          1               12         3
   1          2               11         2
   2          3               10         1
   3          4               9          0
       Col 1 ->  5  6  7  8

Notice that the row indices are directed down the edge of the package and result in the same flipped on the left and right side pattern as in a dual-package.

Functions

QuadGridPlanner

Constructor for the Quad Grid Planner

public defn QuadGridPlanner ( -- param-sets:[Lead-Profile-Params, Lead-Profile-Params], row-sets:Int|Tuple<Int>) -> QuadGridPlanner

  • Returns QuadGridPlanner

get-params

Retrieve the appropriate lead profile parameters depending on column

public defn get-params (g:QuadGridPlanner, c:Int) -> Lead-Profile-Params

  • c: Int - Column index as a zero-indexed value.
  • Returns Lead-Profile-Params

Quad-Lead-Profile

Quad Package Lead Span Definition

public defstruct Quad-Lead-Profile <: Equalable & Hashable :
    x-count: Maybe<Int>
    x-leads: Lead-Profile
    y-count: Maybe<Int>
    y-leads: Lead-Profile

  • x-count: Maybe<Int>

  • x-leads: Lead-Profile

  • y-count: Maybe<Int>

  • y-leads: Lead-Profile

This is a tool for defining the Lead-Profile for the leads on the E/W (X) Edges and the N/S (Y) Edges of the quad package component.

This type allows the user to optionally select the number of pins on either the X edges, the Y edges, or on both. These numbers must still be consistent with the num-leads parameter of the package.

See select-quad-numbering for more information.

Functions

select-quad-numbering

Select Numbering Scheme for QFN lead configuration

public defn select-quad-numbering (num-leads:Int, pf:Quad-Lead-Profile) -> Numbering

  • num-leads: Int - Total number of leads in the desired package (not including thermal)
  • Returns Numbering
  • Throws ValueError - If the lead configurations are invalid - such as one side having less than or equal to 0 leads.

For standard square QFN packages, the Column-Major-Numbering is sufficient to enumerate the pad ids for a QFN. This gets selected if x-count and y-count are both None.

For non-standard QFNs that have uneven numbers of leads of each side we must use a different numbering scheme. This function will use the configuration in the Quad-Lead-Profile to generate an appropriate Uneven-Column-Major-Numbering for the asymmetric pin edges of a non-standard QFN.

If x-count is an Int and y-count is None - then we will attempt to use the num-leads value to solve for what y-count should be assuming the N/S edge of leads is equal on either side. Vice versa if x-count is None and y-count is an Int.

Quad-Lead-Profile

Construct a Quad-Lead Profile

public defn Quad-Lead-Profile ( -- x-span:Toleranced, x-pitch:Double, x-lead:SMT-Lead, y-span:Toleranced, y-pitch:Double, y-lead:SMT-Lead, x-count:Int = ?, y-count:Int = ?) -> Quad-Lead-Profile

  • x-span: Toleranced - Center to center distance between the X-dimension leads in mm.
  • x-pitch: Double - Center to center distance between leads in mm.
  • x-lead: SMT-Lead - Lead Configuration data for generating the pad of the X leads
  • y-span: Toleranced - Center to center distance between the Y-dimension leads in mm.
  • y-pitch: Double - Center to center distance between leads in mm.
  • y-lead: SMT-Lead - Lead Configuration data for generating the pad of the Y leads
  • x-count: Int - Number of leads for the X-dimension leads. This is the number of leads on the E/W sides of the quad package. If this value is not provided, then we will attempt to guess based on other parameters.
  • y-count: Int - Number of leads for the Y-dimension leads. This is the number of leads on the N/S sides of the quad package. If this value is not provided, then we will attempt to guess based on other parameters.
  • Returns Quad-Lead-Profile

The quad-lead profile allows the user to optionally select different lead-span configurations for the X leads vs the Y leads.

The X leads are the dual row of pads that straddle the Y axis. The Y leads are the dual row of pads that straddle the X axis.

Quad-Lead-Profile

public defn Quad-Lead-Profile ( -- span:Toleranced, pitch:Double, lead:SMT-Lead) -> Quad-Lead-Profile

  • Returns Quad-Lead-Profile

Quad-Lead-Profile

Construct a Quad Profile from two separate Lead-Profile objects.

public defn Quad-Lead-Profile ( -- x-leads:Lead-Profile, y-leads:Lead-Profile, x-count:Int = ?, y-count:Int = ?) -> Quad-Lead-Profile

  • x-leads: Lead-Profile - Lead Profile for the X leads (E/W edges)
  • y-leads: Lead-Profile - Lead Profile for the Y leads (N/S edges)
  • x-count: Int - Number of leads for the X-dimension leads. This is the number of leads on the E/W sides of the quad package. If this value is not provided, then we will attempt to guess based on other parameters.
  • y-count: Int - Number of leads for the Y-dimension leads. This is the number of leads on the N/S sides of the quad package. If this value is not provided, then we will attempt to guess based on other parameters.
  • Returns Quad-Lead-Profile

Quad-Lead-Profile

Construct a symmetric quad lead profile from a given Lead-Profile object

public defn Quad-Lead-Profile ( -- profile:Lead-Profile) -> Quad-Lead-Profile

  • profile: Lead-Profile - Lead Profile to apply to all edges of the quad package.
  • Returns Quad-Lead-Profile
