Frequently Asked Question

What are the moisture absorption specifications or considerations for the iSensor products?

Each of the iSensor LGA products has an MSL rating per JEDEC J-STD-033. Per J-STD-033, all iSensor LGAs are stored and shipped from ADI in trays, which are vacuum packed inside antistatic bags with desiccant bags and moisture indicator strips. The MSL rating is clearly labeled on the outside of the antistatic bag, normally with a white stick with blue text.

It's important to check with your manufacturing resources regarding their MSL handing procedures and verify that it gets appropriate consideration. Always inspect incoming materials to verify packaging per
J-STD-033, including the moisture indicator strip, which can alert inspectors to broken seals and potential exposure to moisture. If the integrity of the packaging is in doubt, use a bake-out per J-STD-033 and manage the devices exposure to moisture prior to solder reflow.
