PCA9541  
2-to-1 I2C-bus master selector with interrupt logic and reset  
Rev. 05 — 1 October 2007  
Product data sheet  
1. General description  
The PCA9541 is a 2-to-1 I2C-bus master selector designed for high reliability dual master  
I2C-bus applications where system operation is required, even when one master fails or  
the controller card is removed for maintenance. The two masters (for example, primary  
and back-up) are located on separate I2C-buses that connect to the same downstream  
I2C-bus slave devices. I2C-bus commands are sent by either I2C-bus master and are used  
to select one master at a time. Either master at any time can gain control of the slave  
devices if the other master is disabled or removed from the system. The failed master is  
isolated from the system and will not affect communication between the on-line master  
and the slave devices on the downstream I2C-bus.  
Three versions are offered for different architectures. PCA9541/01 with channel 0  
selected at start-up, PCA9541/02 with channel 0 selected after start-up and after STOP  
condition is detected, and PCA9541/03 with no channel selected after start-up.  
The interrupt outputs are used to provide an indication of which master has control of the  
bus. One interrupt input (INT_IN) collects downstream information and propagates it to  
the 2 upstream I2C-buses (INT0 and INT1) if enabled. INT0 and INT1 are also used to let  
the previous bus master know that it is not in control of the bus anymore and to indicate  
the completion of the bus recovery/initialization sequence. Those interrupts can be  
disabled and will not generate an interrupt if the masking option is set.  
A bus recovery/initialization if enabled sends nine clock pulses, a not acknowledge, and a  
STOP condition in order to set the downstream I2C-bus devices to an initialized state  
before actually switching the channel to the selected master.  
An interrupt is sent to the upstream channel when the recovery/initialization procedure is  
completed.  
An internal bus sensor senses the downstream I2C-bus traffic and generates an interrupt  
if a channel switch occurs during a non-idle bus condition. This function is enabled when  
the PCA9541 recovery/initialization is not used. The interrupt signal informs the master  
that an external I2C-bus recovery/initialization needs to be performed. It can be disabled  
and an interrupt will not be generated.  
The pass gates of the switches are constructed such that the VDD pin can be used to limit  
the maximum high voltage, which will be passed by the PCA9541. This allows the use of  
different bus voltages on each pair, so that 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V devices can communicate  
with 5 V devices without any additional protection.  
The PCA9541 does not isolate the capacitive loading on either side of the device, so the  
designer must take into account all trace and device capacitances on both sides of the  
device, and pull-up resistors must be used on all channels.

External pull-up resistors pull the bus to the desired voltage level for each channel. All I/O  
pins are 6.0 V tolerant.  
An active LOW reset input allows the PCA9541 to be initialized. Pulling the RESET pin  
LOW resets the I2C-bus state machine and configures the device to its default state as  
does the internal Power-On Reset (POR) function.  
The PCA9541/02 version is being discontinued as of December 2007 and customers  
should use PCA9541/01.

pin must be connected to supply ground for proper device operation. For enhanced thermal, electrical, and  
board-level performance, the exposed pad needs to be soldered to the board using a corresponding  
thermal pad on the board, and for proper heat conduction through the board thermal vias need to be  
incorporated in the printed-circuit board in the thermal pad region.

8. Functional description  
Refer to Figure 1 “Block diagram of PCA9541”.  
8.1 Device address  
Following a START condition, the upstream master that wants to control the I2C-bus or  
make a status check must send the address of the slave it is accessing. The slave  
address of the PCA9541 is shown in Figure 5. To conserve power, no internal pull-up  
resistors are incorporated on the hardware selectable pins and they must be pulled HIGH  
or LOW.

Fig 5. Slave address  
The last bit of the slave address defines the operation to be performed. When set to  
logic 1 a read is selected, while logic 0 selects a write operation.  
Remark: Reserved I2C-bus addresses must be used with caution since they can interfere  
with:  
‘reserved for future use’ I2C-bus addresses (1111 1XX)  
slave devices that use the 10-bit addressing scheme (1111 0XX)  
8.2 Command Code  
Following the successful acknowledgement of the slave address, the bus master will send  
a byte to the PCA9541, which will be stored in the Command Code register.

The 2 LSBs are used as a pointer to determine which register will be accessed.  
If the auto-increment flag is set (AI = 1), the two least significant bits of the Command  
Code are automatically incremented after a byte has been read or written. This allows the  
user to program the registers sequentially or to read them sequentially.  
During a read operation, the contents of these bits will roll over to ‘00’ after the last  
allowed register is accessed (‘10’).

During a write operation, the PCA9541 will acknowledge bytes sent to the IE and  
CONTROL registers, but will not acknowledge a byte sent to the Interrupt Status  
Register since it is a read-only register. The 2 LSBs of the Command Code do not roll  
over to ‘00’ but stay at ‘10’.  
Only the 2 least significant bits are affected by the AI flag.  
Unused bits must be programmed with zeros. Any command code (write operation)  
different from ‘000AI 0000’, ‘000AI 0001’, and ‘000AI 0010’ will not be acknowledged. At  
power-up, this register defaults to all zeros.

8.3 Interrupt Enable and Control registers description  
When a master seeks control of the bus by connecting its I2C-bus channel to the  
PCA9541 downstream channel, it has to write to the Control Register (Reg#01).  
Bits MYBUS and BUSON allow the master to take control of the bus.  
The MYBUS and the NMYBUS bits determine which master has control of the bus.  
Table 9 explains which master gets control of the bus and how. There is no arbitration. Any  
master can take control of the bus when it wants regardless of whether the other master is  
using it or not.  
The BUSON and the NBUSON bits determine whether the upstream bus is connected or  
disconnected to/from the downstream bus. Table 10 explains when the upstream bus is  
connected or disconnected.  
Internally, the state machine does the following:  
If the combination of the BUSON and the NBUSON bits causes the upstream to be  
disconnected from the downstream bus, then that is done. So in this case, the values  
of the MYBUS and the NMYBUS do not matter.

PCA9541  
NXP Semiconductors  
2-to-1 I2C-bus master selector with interrupt logic and reset  
If a master was connected to the downstream bus prior to the disconnect, then an  
interrupt is sent on the respective interrupt output in an attempt to let that master  
know that it is no longer connected to the downstream bus. This is indicated by setting  
the BUSLOST bit in the Interrupt Status Register.  
If the combination of the BUSON and the NBUSON bits causes a master to be  
connected to the downstream bus and if there is no change in the BUSON bits since  
when the disconnect took effect, then the master requesting the bus is connected to  
the downstream bus. If it requests a bus initialization sequence, then it is performed.  
If there is no change in the combination of the BUSON and the NBUSON bits and a  
new master wants the bus, then the downstream bus is disconnected from the old  
master that was using it and the new master gets control of it. Again, the bus  
initialization if requested is done. The appropriate interrupt signals are generated.  
After a master has sent the bus control request:  
1. The previous master is disconnected from the I2C-bus. An interrupt to the previous  
master is sent through its INT line to let it know that it lost control of the bus.  
BUSLOST bit in the Interrupt Status Register is set. This interrupt can be masked by  
setting the BUSLOSTMSK bit to ‘1’.  
2. A built-in bus initialization/recovery function can take temporary control of the  
downstream channel to initialize the bus before making the actual switch to the new  
bus master. This function is activated by setting the BUSINIT to ‘1’ by the master  
during the same write sequence as the one programming MYBUS and BUSON bits.  
When activated and whether the bus was previously idle or not:  
a. 9 clock pulses are sent on the SCL_SLAVE.  
b. SDA_SLAVE line is released (HIGH) when the clock pulses are sent to  
SCL_SLAVE. This is equivalent to sending 8 data bits and a not acknowledge.  
c. Finally a STOP condition is sent to the downstream slave channel.  
This sequence will complete any read transaction which was previously in process  
and the downstream slave configured as a slave-transmitter should release the SDA  
line because the PCA9541 did not acknowledge the last byte.  
3. When the initialization has been requested and completed, the PCA9541 sends an  
interrupt to the new master through its INT line and connects the new master to the  
downstream channel. BUSINIT bit in the Interrupt Status Register is set. The switch  
operation occurs after the master asking the bus control has sent a STOP  
command. This interrupt can be masked by setting the BUSINITMSK bit to ‘1’.  
4. When the bus initialization/recovery function has not been requested (BUSINIT = 0),  
the PCA9541 connects the new master to the slave downstream channel. The switch  
operation occurs after the master asking the bus control has sent a STOP  
command. PCA9541 sends an interrupt to the new master through its INT line if the  
built-in bus sensor function detects a non-idle condition in the downstream slave  
channel at the switching time. BUSOK bit in the Interrupt Status Register is set. This  
means that a STOP condition has not been detected in the previous bus  
communication and that an external bus recovery/initialization must be performed. If  
an idle condition has been detected at the switching time, no interrupt will be sent.  
This interrupt can be masked by setting the BUSOKMSK bit to ‘1’.  
Interrupt status can be read. See Section 8.4 “Interrupt Status registers” for more  
information.

NXP Semiconductors  
2-to-1 I2C-bus master selector with interrupt logic and reset  
The MYTEST and the NMYTEST bits cause the interrupt pins of the respective masters to  
be activated for a ‘functional interrupt test’.  
Remark: The regular way to proceed is that a master asks to take the control of the bus  
by programming MYBUS and BUSON bits based on NMUYBUS and NBUSON values.  
Nevertheless, the same master can also decide to give up the control of the bus and give  
it to the other master. This is also done by programming the MYBUS and BUSON bits  
based on NMYBUS and NBUSON values.  
Remark: Any writes either to the Interrupt Enable Register or the Control Register cause  
the respective register to be updated on the 9th clock cycle, that is, on the rising edge of  
the acknowledge clock cycle.  
Remark: The actual switch from one channel to another or the switching off of both the  
channels happens on a STOP command that is sent by the master requesting the switch.  
8.3.1 Register 0: Interrupt Enable (IE) register (B1:B0 = 00)  
This register allows a master to read and/or write (if needed) Mask options for its own  
channel.  
The Interrupt Enable register described below is identical for both the masters.  
Nevertheless, there are physically 2 internal Interrupt Enable registers, one for each  
upstream channel. When Master 0 reads/writes in this register, the internal Interrupt  
Enable Register 0 will be accessed. When Master 1 reads/writes in this register, the  
internal Interrupt Enable Register 1 will be accessed.

master 0 reads/writes in this register, the internal Control Register 0 will be accessed.  
When master 1 reads/writes in this register, the internal Control Register 1 will be  
accessed.

[1] BUSON and NBUSON is an exclusive-OR type function where:  
Equal values (‘00’ or ‘11’) means that the connection between the upstream and the downstream channels  
is off.  
Different values (‘01’ or ‘10’) means that the connection between the upstream and the downstream  
channels is on.  
Switch to the new channel is done when the master initiating the switch request sends a  
STOP command to the PCA9541.  
If either master wants to change the connection of the downstream channel, it needs to  
write to its Control Register (Reg#01), and then send a STOP command because an  
update of the connection to the downstream according to the values in the two internal  
Control Registers happens only on a STOP command. Writing to one control register  
followed by a STOP condition on the other master's channel will not cause an update to  
the downstream connection.  
When both masters request a switch to their own channel at the same time, the master  
who last wrote to its Control Register before the PCA9541 receives a STOP command  
wins the switching sequence. There is no arbitration performed.

Table 12 describes which command needs to be written to the Control Register when a  
master device wants to take control of the I2C-bus. Byte written to the Control Register is a  
function of the current I2C-bus control status performed after an initial reading of the  
Control Register.  
Current status of the I2C-bus is determined by the bits MYBUS, NMYBUS, BUSON and  
NBUSON is one of the following:  
The master reading its Control Register does not have control and the I2C-bus is off.  
The master reading its Control Register does not have control and the I2C-bus is on.  
The master reading its Control Register has control and the I2C-bus is off.  
The master reading its Control Register has control and the I2C-bus is on.  
‘I2C-bus off’ means that upstream and downstream channels are not connected together.  
‘I2C-bus on’ means that upstream and downstream channels are connected together.  
Remark: Only the 4 LSBs of the Control Register are described in Table 12 since only  
those bits control the I2C-bus control. The logic value for the 4 MSBs is specific to the  
application and are not discussed in the table.  
The read sequence is performed by the master as:  
S - 111xxxx0 - 000x0001 - Sr - 111xxxx1 - DataRead - P  
The write sequence is performed by the master as:  
S - 111xxxx0 - 000x0001 - DataWritten - P

PCA9541  
NXP Semiconductors  
2-to-1 I2C-bus master selector with interrupt logic and reset  
8.4 Interrupt Status registers  
The PCA9541 provides 4 different types of interrupt:  
To indicate to the former I2C-bus master that it is not in control of the bus anymore  
To indicate to the new I2C-bus master that:  
The bus recovery/initialization has been performed and that the downstream  
channel connection has been done (built-in bus recovery/initialization active).  
A ‘bus not well initialized’ condition has been detected by the PCA9541 when the  
switch has been done (built-in bus recovery/initialization not active). This  
information can be used by the new master to initiate its own bus  
recovery/initialization sequence.  
Indicate to both I2C-bus upstream masters that a downstream interrupt has been  
generated through the INT_IN pin.  
Functionality wiring test.  
8.4.1 Bus control lost interrupt  
When an upstream master takes control of the I2C-bus while the other channel was using  
the downstream channel, an interrupt is generated to the master losing control of the bus  
(INT line goes LOW to let the master know that it lost the control of the bus) immediately  
after disconnection from the downstream channel.  
By setting the BUSLOSTMSK bit to ‘1’, the interrupt is masked and the upstream master  
that lost the I2C-bus control does not receive an interrupt (INT line does not go LOW).  
8.4.2 Recovery/initialization interrupt  
Before switching to a new upstream channel, an automatic bus recovery/initialization can  
be performed by the PCA9541. This function is requested by setting the BUSINIT bit to ‘1’.  
When the downstream bus has been initialized, an interrupt to the new master is  
generated (INT line goes LOW).  
By setting the BUSINITMSK bit to ‘1’, the interrupt is masked and the new master does  
not receive an interrupt (INT line does not go LOW).  
When the automatic bus recovery/initialization is not requested, if the built-in bus sensor  
function (sensing permanently the downstream I2C-bus traffic) detects a non-idle  
condition (previous bus channel connected to the downstream slave channel, was  
between a START and STOP condition), then an interrupt to the new master is sent (INT  
line goes LOW). This interrupt tells the new master that an external bus  
recovery/initialization must be performed. By setting the BUSOKMSK bit to ‘1’, the  
interrupt is masked and the new master does not receive an interrupt (INT line does not  
go LOW).  
Remark: In this particular situation, after the switch to the new master is performed,  
a read of the Interrupt Status Register is not possible if the switch happened in the  
middle of a read sequence because the new master does not have control of the SDA  
line.

NXP Semiconductors  
2-to-1 I2C-bus master selector with interrupt logic and reset  
8.4.3 Downstream interrupt  
An interrupt can also be generated by a downstream device by asserting the INT_IN pin  
LOW. When INT_IN is asserted LOW and if both INTINMSK bits are not set to ‘1’ by either  
master, INT0 and INT1 both go LOW.  
By setting the INTINMSK bit to ‘1’ by a master and/or the INTINMSK bit to ‘1’ by the other  
master, the interrupt(s) is (are) masked and the corresponding masked channel(s) does  
(do) not receive an interrupt (INT0 and/or INT1 line does (do) not go LOW).  
8.4.4 Functional test interrupt  
A master can send an interrupt to itself to test its own INT wire or send an interrupt to the  
other master to test its INT line. This is done by:  
setting the TESTON bit to ‘1’ to test its own INT line  
setting the NTESTON bit to ‘1’ to test the other master INT line  
Setting the TESTON and/or NTESTON bits to ‘0’ by a master will clear the interrupt(s).  
Remark: Interrupt outputs have an open-drain structure. Interrupt input does not have any  
internal pull-up resistor and must not be left floating (that is, pulled HIGH to VDD through  
resistor) in order to avoid any undesired interrupt conditions.  
8.4.5 Register 2: Interrupt Status Register (B1:B0 = 10)  
The Interrupt Status Register for both the masters is identical and is described below.  
Nevertheless, there are physically 2 internal Interrupt Registers, one for each upstream  
channel.  
When Master 0 reads this register, the internal Interrupt Register 0 will be accessed.  
When Master 1 reads this register, the internal Interrupt Register 1 will be accessed.

register gets cleared on the second clock pulse during the read operation.  
[5] If the interrupt condition remains on INT_IN after the read sequence, another interrupt will be generated (if the interrupt has not been  
masked).  
8.5 Power-on reset  
When power is applied to VDD, an internal power-on reset holds the PCA9541 in a reset  
condition until VDD has reached VPOR. At this point, the reset condition is released and the  
internal registers are initialized to their default states, with:  
PCA9541/01: default Channel 0 (no STOP detect)  
After power-up and/or insertion of the device in the main I2C-bus, the upstream  
Channel 0 and the downstream slave channel are connected together.  
PCA9541/02: default Channel 0 (STOP detect)  
After power-up and/or insertion of the device in the main I2C-bus, the upstream  
Channel 0 and the downstream slave channel are connected together after a STOP  
condition has been detected by the PCA9541/02 on Channel 0.  
If the bus was not idle, Channel 0 and the downstream slave device will be  
connected together as soon as a STOP condition occurs at the conclusion of the  
transmission sequence on Channel 0.  
If the bus was idle, then Channel 0 is connected to the downstream slave channel  
after a STOP condition is detected on Channel 0. This I2C-bus command may or  
may not be addressed to the PCA9541/02.  
If a switch to Channel 1 (initiated by the master on Channel 1) is requested (before  
or after the default switch to Channel 0 has been performed), the upstream  
Channel 1 is connected to the downstream slave channel when the master located  
in Channel 1 sends the STOP command.

PCA9541/03: default ‘no channel’ (no STOP detect)  
After power-up and/or insertion of the device in the main I2C-bus, no channel will be  
connected to the downstream channel. The device is ready to receive a START  
condition and its address by a master.  
If either register writes to its Control Register, then the connection between the  
upstream and the downstream channels is determined by the values on the Control  
Registers.  
Thereafter, VDD must be lowered below 0.2 V to reset the device.  
8.6 External reset  
A reset can be accomplished by holding the RESET pin LOW for a minimum of tWL. The  
PCA9541 registers and I2C-bus state machine will be held in their default states until the  
RESET input is once again HIGH. This input typically requires a pull-up resistor to VDD  
.
Default states are:  
I2C-bus upstream Channel 0 connected to the I2C-bus downstream channel for the  
PCA9541/01  
no I2C-bus upstream channel connected to the I2C-bus downstream channel for the  
PCA9541/02 with Channel 0 connected to the downstream I2C-bus channel after  
detection of a STOP on the upstream channel  
no I2C-bus upstream channel connected to the I2C-bus downstream channel for the  
PCA9541/03.

Fig 8. Pass gate voltage as a function of supply voltage  
Figure 8 shows the voltage characteristics of the pass gate transistors (note that the graph  
was generated using the data specified in Section 12 “Static characteristics” of this data  
sheet). In order for the PCA9541 to act as a voltage translator, the Vo(sw) voltage should  
be equal to, or lower than the lowest bus voltage. For example, if the main buses were  
running at 5 V, and the downstream bus was 3.3 V, then Vo(sw) should be equal to or below  
3.3 V to effectively clamp the downstream bus voltages. Looking at Figure 8, we see that  
Vo(sw)(max) will be at 3.3 V when the PCA9541 supply voltage is 3.5 V or lower so the  
PCA9541 supply voltage could be set to 3.3 V. Pull-up resistors can then be used to bring  
the bus voltages to their appropriate levels (see Figure 17).  
More Information on voltage translation can be found in Application Note AN262:  
PCA954X family of I2C/SMBus multiplexers and switches.

9. Characteristics of the I2C-bus  
The I2C-bus is for 2-way, 2-line communication between different ICs or modules. The two  
lines are a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). Both lines must be  
connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor when connected to the output stages  
of a device. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.  
9.1 Bit transfer  
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain  
stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse as changes in the data line at this time  
will be interpreted as control signals (see Figure 9).

9.2 START and STOP conditions  
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy. A HIGH-to-LOW  
transition of the data line, while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START condition (S).  
A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the  
STOP condition (P) (see Figure 10).

The number of data bytes transferred between the START and the STOP conditions from  
transmitter to receiver is not limited. Each byte of eight bits is followed by one  
acknowledge bit. The acknowledge bit is a HIGH level put on the bus by the transmitter,  
whereas the master generates an extra acknowledge related clock pulse.  
A slave receiver which is addressed must generate an acknowledge after the reception of  
each byte. Also a master must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte  
that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter. The device that acknowledges has to  
pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable  
LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge related clock pulse; setup and hold  
times must be taken into account.  
A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an  
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the  
transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP  
condition.

Fig 17. Typical application  
10.1 Specific applications  
The PCA9541 is a 2-to-1 I2C-bus master selector designed for dual master, high reliability  
I2C-bus applications, where continuous maintenance and control monitoring is required  
even if one master fails or its controller card is removed for maintenance. The PCA9541  
can also be used in other applications, such as where masters share the same resource  
but cannot share the same bus, as a gatekeeper multiplexer in long single bus  
applications or as a bus initialization/recovery device.

10.2 High reliability systems  
In a typical multipoint application, shown in Figure 18, the two masters (for example,  
primary and back-up) are located on separate I2C-buses that connect to multiple  
downstream I2C-bus slave cards/devices via a PCA9541/01 for non-hot swap applications  
or the PCA9541/02 for hot swap applications to provide high reliability of the I2C-bus.  
SCL0  
SDA0  
SCL1  
SDA1  
002aab612  
Fig 18. High reliability backplane application  
I2C-bus commands are sent via the primary or back-up master and either master can take  
command of the I2C-bus. Either master at any time can gain control of the slave devices if  
the other master is disabled or removed from the system. The failed master is isolated  
from the system and will not affect communication between the on-line master and the  
slave devices located on the cards.  
For even higher reliability in multipoint backplane applications, two dedicated masters can  
be used for every card as shown in Figure 19.

10.3 Masters with shared resources  
Some masters may not be multi-master capable or some masters may not work well  
together and continually lock up the bus. The PCA9541 can be used to separate the  
masters, as shown in Figure 20, but still allow shared access to slave devices, such as  
Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) EEPROMs or temperature sensors.

10.4 Gatekeeper multiplexer  
The PCA9541/03 can act as a gatekeeper multiplexer in applications where there are  
multiple I2C-bus devices with the same fixed address (for example, EEPROMs with  
address of ‘Z’ as shown in Figure 21) connected in a multipoint arrangement to the same  
I2C-bus. Up to 16 hot swappable cards/devices can be multiplexed to the same bus  
master by using one PCA9541/03 per card/device. Since each PCA9541/03 has its own  
unique address (for example, ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, and so on), the EEPROMs can be connected to  
the master, one at a time, by connecting one PCA9541/03 (Master 0 position) while  
keeping the rest of the cards/devices isolated (off position).  
The alternative, shown with dashed lines, is to use a PCA9548 1-to-8 channel switch on  
the master card and run 8 I2C-bus devices, one to each EEPROM card, to multiplex the  
master to each card. The number of card pins used is the same in either case, but there  
are 7 less pairs of SDA/SCL traces on the printed-circuit board if the PCA9541/03 is used.

10.5 Bus initialization/recovery to initialize slaves without hardware reset  
If the I2C-bus is hung, I2C-bus devices without a hardware reset pin (for example, Slave 1  
and Slave 2 in Figure 22) can be isolated from the master by the PCA9541/03. The  
PCA9541/03 disconnects the bus when it is reset via the hardware reset line, restoring the  
master's control of the rest of the bus (for example, Slave 0). The bus master can then  
command the PCA9541/03 to send 9 clock pulses/STOP condition to reset the  
downstream I2C-bus devices before they are reconnected to the master or leave the  
downstream devices isolated.

16. Soldering  
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account  
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow  
soldering description”.  
16.1 Introduction to soldering  
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to  
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both  
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is  
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and  
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not  
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high  
densities that come with increased miniaturization.  
16.2 Wave and reflow soldering  
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from  
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:  
Through-hole components  
Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board  
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless  
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,  
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,  
due to an increased probability of bridging.  
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by  
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,  
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.  
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:  
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias  
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation  
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages  
Package placement  
Inspection and repair  
Lead-free soldering versus PbSn soldering  
16.3 Wave soldering  
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:  
Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board  
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are  
exposed to the wave  
Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

16.4 Reflow soldering  
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:  
Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to  
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 30) than a PbSn process, thus  
reducing the process window  
Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process  
window for a mix of large and small components on one board  
Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is  
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak  
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste  
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the  
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package  
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with  
Table 19 and 20

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all  
times.  
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow  
soldering, see Figure 30.
