PCF85134

Universal 60 x 4 LCD segment driver for multiplex rates up to


1:4
Rev. 4 — 11 May 2017 Product data sheet

1. General description
The PCF85134 is a peripheral device which interfaces to almost any Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD)1 with low multiplex rates. It generates the drive signals for any static or
multiplexed LCD containing up to four backplanes and up to 60 segments. It can be easily
cascaded for larger LCD applications. The PCF85134 is compatible with most
microcontrollers and communicates via the two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. Communication
overheads are minimized by a display RAM with auto-incremented addressing, by
hardware subaddressing, and by display memory switching (static and duplex drive
modes).

Although there is a small difference in typical frequency frame and ESD test condition
PCF85134 can be used as drop-in replacement to PCF8534 without any system circuit or
firmware change.

For a selection of NXP LCD segment drivers, see Table 25 on page 45.

Fig 4. Typical system configuration

The host microcontroller maintains the 2-line I2C-bus communication channel with the
PCF85134.

Biasing voltages for the multiplexed LCD waveforms are generated internally, removing
the need for an external bias generator. The internal oscillator is selected by connecting
pin OSC to VSS. The only other connections required to complete the system are the
power supplies (pins VDD, VSS, and VLCD) and the LCD panel selected for the application.

6.1 Power-On Reset (POR)


At power-on the PCF85134 resets to the following starting conditions:

• All backplane and segment outputs are set to VLCD


• The selected drive mode is: 1:4 multiplex with 1⁄3 bias
• Blinking is switched off
• Input and output bank selectors are reset
• The I2C-bus interface is initialized
• The data pointer and the subaddress counter are cleared (set to logic 0)
• The display is disabled (bit E = 0, see Table 11)

Remark: Do not transfer data on the I2C-bus for at least 1 ms after a power-on to allow
the reset action to complete.

6.2 LCD bias generator


Fractional LCD biasing voltages are obtained from an internal voltage divider consisting of
three impedances connected in series between VLCD and VSS. If the 1⁄2 bias voltage level
for the 1:2 multiplex drive mode configuration is selected, the center impedance is
bypassed by switch. The LCD voltage can be temperature compensated externally, using
the supply to pin VLCD.

6.3 LCD voltage selector


The LCD voltage selector coordinates the multiplexing of the LCD in accordance with the
selected LCD drive configuration. The operation of the voltage selector is controlled by the
mode-set command from the command decoder. The biasing configurations that apply to
the preferred modes of operation, together with the biasing characteristics as functions of
VLCD and the resulting discrimination ratios (D) are given in Table 5.

Discrimination is a term which is defined as the ratio of the on and off RMS voltage across
a segment. It can be thought of as a measurement of contrast.

Table 5. Biasing characteristics


LCD drive Number of: LCD bias V off  RMS  V on  RMS  V on  RMS 
mode ------------------------- ------------------------ D = ------------------------
-
Backplanes Levels configuration V LCD V LCD V off  RMS 

static 1 2 static 0 1 
1:2 multiplex 2 3 1⁄ 0.354 0.791 2.236

3
1:4 multiplex 4 4 1⁄ 0.333 0.577 1.732
3

A practical value for VLCD is determined by equating Voff(RMS) with a defined LCD
threshold voltage (Vth(off)), typically when the LCD exhibits approximately 10 % contrast. In
the static drive mode, a suitable choice is VLCD > 3Vth(off).

Multiplex drive modes of 1:3 and 1:4 with 1⁄2 bias are possible but the discrimination and
hence the contrast ratios are smaller.
1
Bias is calculated by ------------- , where the values for a are
1+a
a = 1 for 1⁄2 bias
a = 2 for 1⁄3 bias

The RMS on-state voltage (Von(RMS)) for the LCD is calculated with Equation 1:

a 2 + 2a + n
V on  RMS  = V LCD ------------------------------ (1)
2
n  1 + a

where the values for n are

n = 1 for static drive mode


n = 2 for 1:2 multiplex drive mode
n = 3 for 1:3 multiplex drive mode
n = 4 for 1:4 multiplex drive mode

The RMS off-state voltage (Voff(RMS)) for the LCD is calculated with Equation 2:

a 2 – 2a + n
V off  RMS  = V LCD ------------------------------ (2)
2
n  1 + a

Discrimination is the ratio of Von(RMS) to Voff(RMS) and is determined from Equation 3:

Using Equation 3, the discrimination for an LCD drive mode of 1:3 multiplex with
1⁄ bias is 3 = 1.732 and the discrimination for an LCD drive mode of 1:4 multiplex with
2

1⁄ 21

The advantage of these LCD drive modes is a reduction of the LCD full scale voltage VLCD
as follows:

• 1:3 multiplex (1⁄2 bias): V LCD = 6  V off  RMS  = 2.449V off  RMS 

• 1:4 multiplex (1⁄2 bias): V LCD = ---------------------


4  3
- = 2.309V off  RMS 
3

These compare with V LCD = 3V off  RMS  when 1⁄3 bias is used.

VLCD is sometimes referred as the LCD operating voltage.

6.3.1 Electro-optical performance


Suitable values for Von(RMS) and Voff(RMS) are dependent on the LCD liquid used. The
RMS voltage, at which a pixel is switched on or off, determines the transmissibility of the
pixel.

For any given liquid, there are two threshold values defined. One point is at 10 % relative
transmission (at Vth(off)) and the other at 90 % relative transmission (at Vth(on)), see
Figure 5. For a good contrast performance, the following rules should be followed:

V on  RMS   V th  on  (4)

V off  RMS   V th  off  (5)

Von(RMS) and Voff(RMS) are properties of the display driver and are affected by the selection
of a, n (see Equation 1 to Equation 3) and the VLCD voltage.

Vth(off) and Vth(on) are properties of the LCD liquid and can be provided by the module
manufacturer. Vth(off) is sometimes just named Vth. Vth(on) is sometimes named saturation
voltage Vsat.

It is important to match the module properties to those of the driver in order to achieve
optimum performance.

6.5 Oscillator
The internal logic and the LCD drive signals of the PCF85134 are timed by the frequency
fclk. It equals either the built-in oscillator frequency fosc or the external clock frequency
fclk(ext). The clock frequency fclk determines the LCD frame frequency (ffr).

6.5.1 Internal clock


The internal oscillator is enabled by connecting pin OSC to pin VSS. In this case, the
output from pin CLK is the clock signal for any cascaded PCF85134 in the system.

6.5.2 External clock


Pin CLK is enabled as an external clock input by connecting pin OSC to VDD.

Remark: A clock signal must always be supplied to the device. Removing the clock may
freeze the LCD in a DC state, which is not suitable for the liquid crystal.

6.6 Timing and frame frequency


The PCF85134 timing controls the internal data flow of the device. This includes the
transfer of display data from the display RAM to the display segment outputs. In cascaded
applications, the correct timing relationship between each PCF85134 in the system is
maintained by the synchronization signal at pin SYNC. The timing also generates the LCD
frame signal whose frequency is derived from the clock frequency. The frame signal
frequency is a fixed division of the clock frequency from either the internal or an external
clock.

6.7 Display register


The display register holds the display data while the corresponding multiplex signals are
generated.

6.8 Segment outputs


The LCD drive section includes 60 segment outputs (S0 to S59) which should be
connected directly to the LCD. The segment output signals are generated based on the
multiplexed backplane signals and with data resident in the display register. When less
than 60 segment outputs are required, the unused segment outputs must be left
open-circuit.

6.9 Backplane outputs


The LCD drive section includes four backplane outputs BP0 to BP3 which must be
connected directly to the LCD. The backplane output signals are generated in accordance
with the selected LCD drive mode.

• In 1:4 multiplex drive mode: BP0 to BP3 must be connected directly to the LCD.
If less than four backplane outputs are required, the unused outputs can be left
open-circuit.

• In 1:3 multiplex drive mode BP3 carries the same signal as BP1, therefore these two
adjacent outputs can be tied together to give enhanced drive capabilities.
• In 1:2 multiplex drive mode BP0 and BP2, respectively, BP1 and BP3 carry the same
signals and can also be paired to increase the drive capabilities.
• In static drive mode, the same signal is carried by all four backplane outputs and they
can be connected in parallel for very high drive requirements.

6.10 Display RAM


The display RAM is a static 60  4-bit RAM which stores LCD data. A logic 1 in the RAM
bit map indicates the on-state (Von(RMS)) of the corresponding LCD element. Similarly, a
logic 0 indicates the off-state (Voff(RMS)). For more information on Von(RMS) and Voff(RMS),
see Section 6.3.

There is a one-to-one correspondence between

• the bits in the RAM bitmap and the LCD elements


• the RAM columns and the segment outputs
• the RAM rows and the backplane outputs.
The display RAM bit map, Figure 11, shows row 0 to row 3 which correspond with the
backplane outputs BP0 to BP3, and column 0 to column 59 which correspond with the
segment outputs S0 to S59. In multiplexed LCD applications, the data of each row of the
display RAM is time-multiplexed with the corresponding backplane (row 0 with BP0, row 1
with BP1, and so on).

Fig 12. Relationship between LCD layout, drive mode, display RAM filling order and display data transmitted over the I2C-bus
NXP Semiconductors PCF85134
Universal 60 x 4 LCD segment driver for low multiplex rates

When display data is transmitted to the PCF85134, the display bytes received are stored
in the display RAM in accordance with the selected LCD multiplex drive mode. The data is
stored as it arrives and depending on the current multiplex drive mode, data is stored
singularly, in pairs, triples, or quadruples. To illustrate the filling order, an example of a
7-segment display showing all drive modes is given in Figure 12. The RAM filling
organization depicted applies equally to other LCD types.

The following applies to Figure 12:

• In static drive mode the eight transmitted data bits are placed into row 0 as one byte.
• In 1:2 multiplex drive mode the eight transmitted data bits are placed in pairs into
row 0 and row 1 as four successive 2-bit RAM words.
• In 1:3 multiplex drive mode the eight bits are placed in triples into row 0, row
1, and row 2 as three successive 3-bit RAM words, with bit 3 of the third address left
unchanged. It is not recommended to use this bit in a display because of the difficult
addressing. This last bit may, if necessary, be controlled by an additional transfer to
this address. But care should be taken to avoid overwriting adjacent data because
always full bytes are transmitted (see Section 6.10.3).
• In 1:4 multiplex drive mode, the eight transmitted data bits are placed in quadruples
into row 0, row 1, row 2, and row 3 as two successive 4-bit RAM words.

6.10.1 Data pointer


The addressing mechanism for the display RAM is realized using the data pointer. This
allows the loading of an individual display data byte, or a series of display data bytes, into
any location of the display RAM. The sequence commences with the initialization of the
data pointer by the load-data-pointer command (see Table 10). Following this command,
an arriving data byte is stored at the display RAM address indicated by the data pointer.
The filling order is shown in Figure 12. After each byte is stored, the content of the data
pointer is automatically incremented by a value dependent on the selected LCD drive
mode:

• In static drive mode by eight.


• In 1:2 multiplex drive mode by four.
• In 1:3 multiplex drive mode by three.
• In 1:4 multiplex drive mode by two.

If an I2C-bus data access terminates early, then the state of the data pointer is unknown.
Consequently, the data pointer must be rewritten before further RAM accesses.

6.10.2 Subaddress counter


The storage of display data is determined by the content of the subaddress counter.
Storage is allowed only when the content of the subaddress counter matches with the
hardware subaddress applied to A0, A1, and A2. The subaddress counter value is defined
by the device-select command (see Table 13). If the content of the subaddress counter
and the hardware subaddress do not match, then data storage is inhibited but the data
pointer is incremented as if data storage had taken place. The subaddress counter is also
incremented when the data pointer overflows.

Product data sheet Rev. 4 — 11 May 2017 19 of 51


NXP Semiconductors PCF85134
Universal 60 x 4 LCD segment driver for low multiplex rates

In cascaded applications each PCF85134 in the cascade must be addressed separately.


Initially, the first PCF85134 is selected by sending the device-select command matching
the first hardware subaddress. Then the data pointer is set to the preferred display RAM
address by sending the load-data-pointer command.

Once the display RAM of the first PCF85134 has been written, the second PCF85134 is
selected by sending the device-select command again. This time however the command
matches the hardware subaddress of the second device. Next the load-data-pointer
command is sent to select the preferred display RAM address of the second PCF85134.

This last step is very important because during writing data to the first PCF85134, the data
pointer of the second PCF85134 is incremented. In addition, the hardware subaddress
should not be changed while the device is being accessed on the I2C-bus interface.

6.10.3 RAM writing in 1:3 multiplex drive mode


In 1:3 multiplex drive mode, the RAM is written as shown in Table 7 (see Figure 12 as
well).

Table 7. Standard RAM filling in 1:3 multiplex drive mode


Assumption: BP2/S2, BP2/S5, BP2/S8 etc. are not connected to any elements on the display.
Display RAM Display RAM addresses (columns)/segment outputs (Sn)
bits (rows)/ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 :

1 a6 a3 a0 b6 b3 b0 c6 c3 c0 d6 :
2 a5 a2 - b5 b2 - c5 c2 - d5 :
3 - - - - - - - - - - :

If the bit at position BP2/S2 would be written by a second byte transmitted, then the
mapping of the segment bits would change as illustrated in Table 8.

Table 8. Entire RAM filling by rewriting in 1:3 multiplex drive mode


Assumption: BP2/S2, BP2/S5, BP2/S8 etc. are connected to elements on the display.
Display RAM Display RAM addresses (columns)/segment outputs (Sn)

2 a5 a2 b5 b2 c5 c2 d5 d2 e5 e2 :
3 - - - - - - - - - - :

In the case described in Table 8 the RAM has to be written entirely and BP2/S2, BP2/S5,
BP2/S8, and so on, have to be connected to elements on the display. This can be
achieved by a combination of writing and rewriting the RAM like follows:

• In the first write to the RAM, bits a7 to a0 are written.


• In the second write, bits b7 to b0 are written, overwriting bits a1 and a0 with bits b7
and b6.
• In the third write, bits c7 to c0 are written, overwriting bits b1 and b0 with bits c7 and
c6.

NXP Semiconductors PCF85134
Universal 60 x 4 LCD segment driver for low multiplex rates

Depending on the method of writing to the RAM (standard or entire filling by rewriting),
some elements remain unused or can be used. But it has to be considered in the module
layout process as well as in the driver software design.

6.10.4 Bank selector

[Link] Output bank selector


The output bank selector (see Table 14) selects one of the four rows per display RAM
address for transfer to the display register. The actual row selected depends on the
particular LCD drive mode in operation and on the instant in the multiplex sequence.

• In 1:4 multiplex mode, all RAM addresses of row 0 are selected, these are followed by
the contents of row 1, 2, and then 3
• In 1:3 multiplex mode, rows 0, 1, and 2 are selected sequentially
• In 1:2 multiplex mode, rows 0 and 1 are selected
• In static mode, row 0 is selected
The SYNC signal resets these sequences to the following starting points:

• row 3 for 1:4 multiplex


• row 2 for 1:3 multiplex
• row 1 for 1:2 multiplex
• row 0 for static mode

The PCF85134 includes a RAM bank switching feature in the static and 1:2 multiplex drive
modes. In the static drive mode, the bank-select command may request the contents of
row 2 to be selected for display instead of the contents of row 0. In the 1:2 multiplex mode,
the contents of rows 2 and 3 may be selected instead of rows 0 and 1. This gives the
provision for preparing display information in an alternative bank and to be able to switch
to it once it is assembled.

[Link] Input bank selector


The input bank selector loads display data into the display data in accordance with the
selected LCD drive configuration. Display data can be loaded in row 2 in static drive mode
or in rows 2 and 3 in 1:2 multiplex drive mode by using the bank-select command (see
Table 14). The input bank selector functions independently to the output bank selector.

6.11 Blinking
The display blinking capabilities of the PCF85134 are very versatile. The whole display
can blink at frequencies selected by the blink-select command (see Table 15). The blink
frequencies are derived from the clock frequency. The ratio between the clock and blink
frequency depends on the blink mode selected (see Table 9).

An additional feature is for an arbitrary selection of LCD segments to blink. This applies to
the static and 1:2 multiplex drive modes and can be implemented without any
communication overheads. With the output bank selector, the displayed RAM banks are
exchanged with alternate RAM banks at the blink frequency. This mode can also be
specified by the blink-select command.

In the 1:3 and 1:4 multiplex modes, where no alternate RAM bank is available, groups of
LCD elements can blink by selectively changing the display RAM data at fixed time
intervals.

The entire display can blink at a frequency other than the nominal blink frequency. This
can be effectively performed by resetting and setting the display enable bit E at the
required rate using the mode-set command (see Table 11).

6.12 Command decoder


The command decoder identifies command bytes that arrive on the I2C-bus. There are
five commands:

6.13 Display controller


The display controller executes the commands identified by the command decoder. It
contains the status registers of the PCF85134 and coordinates their effects. The display
controller is also responsible for loading display data into the display RAM in the correct
filling order.

7. Characteristics of the I2C-bus


The I2C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs or modules.
The two lines are a Serial DAta line (SDA) and a Serial CLock line (SCL). Both lines must
be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor when connected to the output
stages of a device. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.

7.1 Bit transfer


One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse as changes in the data line at this time
will be interpreted as a control signal. Bit transfer is illustrated in Figure 13.

7.1.1 START and STOP conditions


Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy.

A HIGH-to-LOW change of the data line, while the clock is HIGH, is defined as the START
condition (S).

A LOW-to-HIGH change of the data line, while the clock is HIGH, is defined as the STOP
condition (P).

The START and STOP conditions are illustrated in Figure 14.

7.3 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and STOP conditions from
transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each byte of 8 bits is followed by an acknowledge
cycle.

• A slave receiver, which is addressed, must generate an acknowledge after the


reception of each byte.
• A master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte that
has been clocked out of the slave transmitter.
• The device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA line during the acknowledge
clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the
acknowledge related clock pulse (set-up and hold times must be considered).
• A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the
transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP
condition.

Acknowledgement on the I2C-bus is illustrated in Figure 16.

7.4 I2C-bus controller


The PCF85134 acts as an I2C-bus slave receiver. It does not initiate I2C-bus transfers or
transmit data to an I2C-bus master receiver. The only data output from the PCF85134 are
the acknowledge signals of the selected devices. Device selection depends on the
I2C-bus slave address, on the transferred command data and on the hardware
subaddress.

In single device applications, the hardware subaddress inputs A0, A1, and A2 are
normally tied to VSS which defines the hardware subaddress 0. In multiple device
applications A0, A1, and A2 are tied to VSS or VDD using a binary coding scheme, so that
no two devices with a common I2C-bus slave address have the same hardware
subaddress.

7.5 Input filters


To enhance noise immunity in electrically adverse environments, RC low-pass filters are
provided on the SDA and SCL lines.

7.6 I2C-bus protocol


Two I2C-bus slave addresses (0111 000 and 0111 001) are used to address the
PCF85134. The entire I2C-bus slave address byte is shown in Table 16.

Table 16. I2C slave address byte


Slave address
Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
MSB LSB
0 1 1 1 0 0 SA0 R/W

The PCF85134 is a write-only device and does not respond to a read access, therefore
bit 0 should always be logic 0. Bit 1 of the slave address byte, that a PCF85134 will
respond to, is defined by the level tied to its SA0 input (VSS for logic 0 and VDD for logic 1).

Having two reserved slave addresses allows the following on the same I2C-bus:

• Up to 16 PCF85134 for very large LCD applications


• The use of two types of LCD multiplex drive
The I2C-bus protocol is shown in Figure 17. The sequence is initiated with a START
condition (S) from the I2C-bus master which is followed by one of the available PCF85134
slave addresses. All PCF85134 with the same SA0 level acknowledge in parallel to the
slave address. All PCF85134 with the alternative SA0 level ignore the whole I2C-bus
transfer.

After acknowledgement, the control byte is sent defining if the next byte is a RAM or
command information. The control byte also defines if the next byte is a control byte or
further RAM or command data (see Figure 18 and Table 17). In this way, it is possible to
configure the device and then fill the display RAM with little overhead.

9. Safety notes

CAUTION
This device is sensitive to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). Observe precautions for handling
electrostatic sensitive devices.
Such precautions are described in the ANSI/ESD S20.20, IEC/ST 61340-5, JESD625-A or
equivalent standards.

CAUTION
Static voltages across the liquid crystal display can build up when the LCD supply voltage
(VLCD) is on while the IC supply voltage (VDD) is off, or vice versa. This may cause unwanted
display artifacts. To avoid such artifacts, VLCD and VDD must be applied or removed together.

13. Application information

13.1 Cascaded operation


Large display configurations of up to 16 PCF85134s can be recognized on the same
I2C-bus by using the 3-bit hardware subaddress (A0, A1 and A2) and the programmable
I2C-bus slave address (SA0).

When cascaded PCF85134 are synchronized, they can share the backplane signals from
one of the devices in the cascade. Such an arrangement is cost-effective in large LCD
applications since the backplane outputs of only one device need to be through-plated to
the backplane electrodes of the display. The other PCF85134 of the cascade contribute
additional segment outputs. The backplanes can either be connected together to enhance
the drive capability or some can be left open-circuit (such as the ones from the slave
in Figure 22) or just some of the master and some of the slave will be taken to facilitate the
layout of the display.

Fig 22. Cascaded PCF85134 configuration

The SYNC line is provided to maintain the correct synchronization between all cascaded
PCF85134. Synchronization is guaranteed after a power-on reset. The only time that
SYNC is likely to be needed is if synchronization is accidentally lost (for example, by noise
in adverse electrical environments or by defining a multiplex drive mode when PCF85134
with different SA0 levels are cascaded).

SYNC is organized as an input/output pin. The output selection is realized as an


open-drain driver with an internal pull-up resistor. A PCF85134 asserts the SYNC line at
the onset of its last active backplane signal and monitors the SYNC line at all other times.
If synchronization in the cascade is lost, it is restored by the first PCF85134 to assert
SYNC. The timing relationship between the backplane waveforms and the SYNC signal
for the various drive modes of the PCF85134 are shown in Figure 23.

The contact resistance between the SYNC on each cascaded device must be controlled.
If the resistance is too high, the device is not able to synchronize properly; this is
applicable to chip-on-glass applications. The maximum SYNC contact resistance allowed
for the number of devices in cascade is given in Table 22.

The PCF85134 can always be cascaded with other devices of the same type or
conditionally with other devices of the same family. This allows optimal drive selection for
a given number of pixels to display. Figure 21 and Figure 23 show the timing of the
synchronization signals.

If an external clock source is used, all PCF85134 in the cascade must be configured such
as to receive the clock from that external source (pin OSC connected to VDD). It must be
ensured that the clock tree is designed such that on all PCF85134 the clock propagation
delay from the clock source to all PCF85134 in the cascade is as equal as possible since
otherwise synchronization artifacts may occur.

In mixed cascading configurations, care has to be taken that the specifications of the
individual cascaded devices are met at all times.

15. Handling information


All input and output pins are protected against ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) under
normal handling. When handling Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) devices ensure that
all normal precautions are taken as described in JESD625-A, IEC 61340-5 or equivalent
standards.

16. Packing information


For tape and reel packing information, please see Ref. 12 “SOT315-1_118” on page 48.

17. Soldering of SMD packages


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

Universal 60 x 4 LCD segment driver for low multiplex rates

• Inspection and repair


• Lead-free soldering versus SnPb 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

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 25) than a SnPb 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 23 and 24

Table 23. SnPb eutectic process (from J-STD-020D)


Package thickness (mm) Package reflow temperature (C)
Volume (mm3)
< 350  350
< 2.5 235 220
 2.5 220 220

Table 24. Lead-free process (from J-STD-020D)


Package thickness (mm) Package reflow temperature (C)
Volume (mm3)
< 350 350 to 2000 > 2000
< 1.6 260 260 260
1.6 to 2.5 260 250 245
> 2.5 250 245 245

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 25.
