experienced. This light could have an unpredictable affect on
the electrical performance of the IC. Care should be taken to
shield the device from direct exposure to bright visible or IR
light during operation.
Micro SMD Mounting
The micro SMD package requires specific mounting tech-
niques which are detailed in National Semiconductor Appli-
cation Note AN-1112. Referring to the section Surface
Mount Technology (SMT) Assembly Considerations, it
should be noted that the pad style which must be used with
the 9-pin package is the NSMD (non-solder mask defined)
type.
For best results during assembly, alignment ordinals on the
PC board may be used to facilitate placement of the micro
SMD device.
