1. General Information and Purpose

· Document Type: A guide outlining packaging specifications for Analog Devices' components.
· Scope: Defines package types, sizes, quantities, and designators used for shipping parts.
· Key Terms: Introduces important terminology (Reel7, Reel, Waffle Pack) that is used throughout.

2. Table 1: Reel and Quantity Specifications (Main Reels - 13" Reels)

This table specifies the key attributes for Analog devices packages on 13" reels:

· Device Package Type: Identifies the type of package (e.g., SOT-23, SOT-143, SC70, MSOP, WLCSP2, LFCSP)
· Package Designator: Specifies the designator used for the packaging (e.g., RT, RJ/RT, RM, CP). *Important Note: the document differentiates between RT and RJ for SOT-23 packages based on revision level.*
· Body Size: (Applicable to some packages like LFCSP) Specifies dimensions in millimeters.
· Number of Leads: Indicates the number of pins/leads on the component.
· Reel Quantity: The number of components on a 7" reel (250 is most common, with some variances).
· Tape Width (mm): Specifies the width of the tape that holds the components.
· Tape Pitch (mm): Specifies the spacing between components on the tape.
· Pin 1 Orientation: Indicates the orientation of Pin 1 on the component during taping. (C1, C2, C4 are used as designators).

3. Table 1 (Continued): Small Quantity Reel (7" Reels)

This table provides packaging specification for components on 7" reels, which are useful for low-volume orders. This section is mostly a restatement of what's already mentioned for 13" reels.

4. Specific Notes & Exceptions

· SOT-23 Revision Level: Prior to revision "W," SOT-23 packages use the "RT" designator. After revision "W", they use "RJ" for packages with more than three leads.
· Special Carriers: ADL5500 WLCSP requires a specific carrier tape (part number 4205418-2/A). Small quantity reels have specific requirements as well regarding wafer thickness and sphere size.

5. Glossary

· Reel7 (aka R7 or RL7): 7" reel.
· Reel (aka RL or R): 13" reel.
· Waffle Pack: A small tray for a small quantity of product in a package or bare die form.
