* Low-noise versions of CA741 and CA3078* BIMOS types “CMOS type.Operating and Handling Considerations
Solid state devices are being designed into an increasing
variety of electronic equipment because of their high
standards of reliability and performance. However, it is
essential that equipment designers be mindful of good
engineering practices in the use of these devices to achieve
the desired performance.
‘This Note summarizes important operating recommen-
dations and precautions which should be followed in the
interest of maintaining the high standards of performance of
linear integrated circults and MOS field-effect transistors.
The ratings included in RCA data bulletins are based
fon the Absolute Maximum Rating System, which is
defined by the following Industry Standard (JEDEC)
Absolute Maximum Ratings ae limiting values of opera
ting and environmental conditions applicable to any electron
device of 2 specified type as defined by its published data,
and should not be exceeded under the worst probable
conditions
“The device manufacturer chooses these values to provide
acceptable serviceability of the device, taking no responsi
bility for equipment variations, environmental variations, and
the effects of changes in operating conditions due to
variations in device characteristics.
‘The equipment manufacturer should design so that
initially and throughout life no absolute-maximum value for
the intended service is exceeded with any device under the
worst probable operating conditions with respect to supply-
voltage variation, equipment component variation, equip-
ment control adjustment, load variation, signal variation,
environmental conditions, and variations in device charac-
teristics.
tis recommended that equipment manufacturers consult
RCA whenever device applications involve unusual electrical,
‘mechanical or envizonmental operating conditions.
 
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
“The deny Mealullty provided by lntegeated ceils at
MOS/FET’s makes possible their use in 2 broad range of
applications and under many different operating conditions.
When incorporating these devices in equipment, designers
should anticipate the rare possibility of device failure and
make certain that no safety hazard would result from such
‘The small size of these devices provides obvious ad-
vantages to the designers of electronic equipment. How-
ever, it should be recognized that these compact devices
usually provide only relatively small insulation area between
adjacent leads and the metal envelope. When these devices
fare used in moist or contaminated atmospheres, therefore,
supplemental protection must be provided to prevent the
evelopment of electrical conductive paths across the
relatively small insulating surfaces
 
 
 
Devices should not be connected into or disconnected
from circuits with the power on because high transient
voltages may cause permanent damage to the devices.
‘TESTING PRECAUTIONS
In common with many electronic components, solid-state
devices should be operated and tested in circuits which have
reasonable values of current limiting resistance, or other
forms of effective current overload protection. Failure to
‘observe these precautions can cause excessive internal heating
‘of the device resulting in destruction ndjor possible
shattering ofthe enclosure
MOUNTING
Intégeated citcuits are normally supplied with eadtin
plated leads to facilitate soldering into circuit hoards. In
those relatively few applications requiring welding of the
device leds, rather than soldering. the devices umy be
‘obtained with gokd or nickel plated Kovar leads* Ht should be
recognized that this ype of plating will ot provide complete
protection sgainst lead corrosion in the presence of high
humidity snd mechanical stress. The aluminum foiMined
cardboard “sandwich puck” employed for stlie protection
fof the Mat-pack also provides some additional protection
against lead corrosion, and it is recommended that the
‘devices be stored in this package until used
When integrated circuits ure welded onto printed circuit
boards or equipment, the presence of moisture between the
closely spaced terminals ean result in conductive paths that
tay impair device performance in highmpedance appli
‘ations, IL is therefore recommended that conformal coatings
‘or polling he provided as an added measure of protection
against moisture penetration
In any method of mounting integrated circuits which
involves. bending or forming of the device leads. it is
extremely important thatthe ead be supported and clamped
between the bend and the package sel, and that bending be
done with care to avoid dimage to lead plating. In no ease
should the radius ofthe bend be les than the diameter of the
lead, or in the case of rectangufar leads, sch as those used in
RCA I4lead and 16-lead flat-puckages, les than the lead
thickness. Its abo extremely important thatthe ends of the
bent leads be straight to assure proper insertion through the
holes inthe printed-ireuit boar
 
 
 
MOS FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTORS
Insulated-Gate Metal OxideSemiconductor Field-Effect
Transistors (MOS FETS), like bipolar high-frequency
Uansistors, are susceptible to gate insulation damage by the
lectrostatic discharge of energy though the devices
Enectrostatic discharges can oocur in an MOS FET if'a type
with an unprotected gate is picked up and the static charge,
built inthe handier’s body capacitance is discharged through
the device. With proper handling and applications
procedures, however, MOS transistors ate currently being
‘extensively used in’ production by numerous equipment
manufacturers in military, industrial, and consumer appica-
 
+ MIL38510A, paragraph 3.5.6.1(a), lead material.tions, with virtually no problems of damage due to
clectrostaic discharge.
In some MOS FETs, diodes are electrically connected
between each insulated gate and the transistor's source
‘These diodes offer protection against static discharge and
Incireuit transients without the need for external shorting
mechanisms, MOS FETs which do not include gate-
protection diodes can be handled safely ifthe following basic
precautions ae taken
 
1. Prior to assembly into a circuit, all leads should be kept
Shorted together either by the use of metal shorting
springs attached to the device by the vendor, or by the
{nsertion into conductive material such as “ECCOSORB*
1LD26” or equivalent.
(NOTE: Polystyrene insulating “SNOW” is not suffi
ciently conduetive and should not be used.)
2 When devices are removed by hand from their eariers,
the hand being used should be grounded by any suitable
means, for example, with a metallic wristband,
43. Tips of soldering irons should be grounded,
44. Devices should never be inserted into or removed from
circuits with power on

SOLID STATE CHIPS
Solid state chips, unlike packaged devices, are non-
hermetic devices, normally fragile and small in physica size,
and therefore, require special handling considerations as
follows
1. Chips must be stored under proper conditions to insure
that they are not subjected to a moist and/or contam-
inated atmosphere that could alter their electrical,
physial, or mechanical characteristics. After the shipping.
container is opened, the chip must be stored under the
following conditions:
|A. Storage temperature, 400 max.
B,_ Relative humidity, 50% max.
C. Clean, dustree environment.
2 The user must exercise proper cate when handling chips
to prevent even the slightest physical damage to the chip,
3. During mounting and lead bonding of chips the user must
use proper assembly techniques to obtain proper ele:
trical, thermal, and mechanical performance
4. Afier the chip has been mounted and bonded, any
necessary procedure must be followed by the user to
insure that these non-hermetic chips are not subjected to
‘moist oF contaminated atmosphere which might cause
the development of electrical conductive paths across the
relatively small insulating surfaces. In addition, proper
consideration must be given to the protection Of these
devices from other harmful environments which could
conceivably adversely affect their proper performance
