Paste stencil for PQFN devices?

Designing with GaN FETs and ICs Assembly and Layout
1

Hi all,
I’m currently laying out a board where I plan to use the EPC2302, which comes in the PQFN style package. Unlike all the other devices I’ve worked with, the datasheet does not specify anything about the paste stencil design. But the shape of the pads are very odd, so I don’t think normal IPC guidelines apply well. Does EPC have any suggestions for these packages?

Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
we have sent you our latest proposal via email. We are planning on updating the datasheet with it as soon as we can confirm a few more things…
