Photo flash LED driver  
Rev. 1 — 7 July 2011  
Product data sheet  
1. General description  
The SSL3252 is a photo flash LED driver designed for battery operated mobile devices  
such as mobile phones and PDAs. The boost converter delivers high performance and  
drives a single or dual high brightness LED at up to 500 mA with over 85 % efficiency. The  
driver can be programmed to operate in Flash mode, Torch mode, Assist light mode, or  
Indicator mode.  
The small silicon size and the high internal switching frequency of 2 MHz minimize the  
size of the application and make the SSL3252 very suitable for mobile phones where  
space is limited, and only requiring three external components. System protection has  
been a very important part of the SSL3252 design, so a time-out function can be  
programmed to prevent overstressing the LED, and the driver itself is protected from  
overheating.

7. Functional description  
7.1 Introduction  
The SSL3252 is a boost converter intended to drive either a single high power flash LED  
or two high power flash LEDs in series. The LED current is controlled by the output  
voltage of the boost converter and the integrated linear current source. The SSL3252 has  
two interface modes and six operational modes. The interface mode is selected by the  
interface select pin IF_SEL. Depending on the Interface mode selected, the device can  
either be controlled by an I2C-bus interface, or external enable lines.  
The interface modes are:  
I2C mode  
Direct enable mode  
The operational modes are:  
Standby mode  
Shut-down mode  
Flash mode  
Torch mode  
Assist light mode  
Indicator mode  
In all LED modes, to ensure a constant switching frequency, the regulated converter  
employs Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).  
In applications where the required LED voltage is lower than the applied input voltage, the  
converter switches to linear mode. The excess voltage difference between the required  
LED voltage and input voltage is now compensated by increasing the voltage over the  
linear current source and therefore on the LED pin.  
Apart from the main LED(s), a separate indicator LED can be driven from the SSL3252.  
This is driven by a linear current source circuit that operates independent of the switch  
mode converter for the main LED(s).  
7.2 Interface modes  
The device is equipped with two interfaces: I2C and Direct enable. Which interface mode  
is used is defined by the level of the IF_SEL pin. Table 3 describes the interface  
possibilities.

7.2.1 Using the direct enable control  
When the Direct enable mode is used, the device can be switched to the various  
operational modes using the TORCH, EN1 and EN2 control signals. The definitions of  
these control signals are given in Table 4. The EN1 and EN2 functions of the SCL/EN1  
and SDA/EN2 pins have a higher priority than the pin TORCH. Figure 3 shows all the  
possible transitions between the various interface modes.  
The device is in Shut-down mode when all control pins (IF_SEL, EN1, EN2, TORCH) are  
LOW.

7.2.2 Using the I2C control  
Using the I2C interface mode enables additional features and settings as described in the  
I2C register set Table 6. The definition of the control pins is given in Table 5. Figure 4  
shows the typical transitions between the various modes.  
The device cannot enter Shut-down mode when in I2C mode. The lowest power  
consumption can be achieved in Standby mode. When using I2C, the device can still be  
put in Shut-down mode by first making all control pins LOW (SDA = SCL = TORCH = 0)  
and then going to Direct enable Shut-down mode by making IF_SEL LOW.

7.3 Operational modes  
7.3.1 Shut-down mode  
To enter the Shut-down mode, all control pins, IF_SEL, EN1 function of SCL/EN1, EN2  
function of SDA/EN2, and TORCH, must be LOW. In this mode, the internal circuitry of the  
device is turned off to guarantee a shut-down current of less than 1 A. The PMOS switch  
of the converter is conducting, and the NMOS is set to high-impedance. To avoid current  
leakage into the LED, the current source circuitry for both the main LED and the indicator  
LED are switched to high-impedance.  
7.3.2 Standby mode  
The device only enters Standby mode in I2C mode when pin IF_SEL is HIGH and the  
outputs are not active. In Standby mode, part of the internal circuitry of the device remains  
on, but the converter is not switching. To avoid current leakage into the LED, the current  
source circuitry for both the main LED and the indicator LED are switched to  
high-impedance. In this mode, I2C communication with the device is possible.  
7.3.3 Switching between Standby mode and Shut-down mode  
When using the I2C interface, the lowest power mode is the Standby mode. To further  
reduce the power, switching to Direct enable mode allows the device to enter Shut-down  
mode. When switching to and from the Direct enable interface, the I2C lines have to be  
switched LOW to avoid that they are interpreted as EN1 and EN2.  
When IF_SEL is switched HIGH, the I2C lines may still be LOW. After the SDA lines and  
the SCL lines have become HIGH, the bus free time has to be respected, as is specified in  
the I2C-bus timing specifications. I2C communication cannot be started until at least  
350 s after the IF_SEL line is switched HIGH.  
When switching from Standby mode to Shut-down mode, the I2C lines need to be set  
LOW before the IF_SEL line is set LOW, or at least within 5 s after that, to avoid the  
I2C levels being interpreted as EN1 and EN2, which may cause the LEDs to be lit.

7.3.4 Torch mode  
The Torch mode allows the main LED to be switched on at a lower LED current setting  
without timing limitations. Torch mode can be selected by connecting pin TORCH to  
HIGH. Pin TORCH is a debounced input. This allows the pin to be directly connected to a  
mechanical switch. The debouncing circuit is active during both the LOW-to-HIGH and the  
HIGH-to-LOW transitions. It uses a time constant of typically 9 ms.The main LEDs will  
light to the set torch current level. The TORCH pin has an internal 350 kpull-down  
resistor.  
In I2C mode, the LED current is defined by bits D[2:0] in the current set register. The torch  
current can be set between 20 mA and 160 mA. The same bits are also used for Assist  
light mode. For details see Table 5 and Figure 4.  
When using the Direct enable mode, the default torch current values are used. When only  
one LED is used, the torch current will be set to a default level of 80 mA. For two LEDs  
this value is 40 mA. The EN1 and EN2 signals have higher priority than the TORCH pin  
signal. For details see Table 4 and Figure 3.  
Figure 6 shows the current register setting for the torch.

7.3.5 Assist light mode  
The Assist light mode allows the main LED to be switched on at a lower LED current  
setting, without any timing limitations. The Assist light mode can be selected in both I2C  
and Direct enable modes.  
In I2C mode, the LED current is defined by bits D[2:0] in the current set register. The  
Assist light current value can be set between 20 mA and 160 mA. The same bits are also  
used for Torch mode. Entering Assist light mode is possible if bits D[1:0] from the control  
register are set to 10 and bit D3 from the same register is set to 1.  
When using the Direct enable mode, the default Assist light current values are used.  
When only one LED is used, the Assist light current will be set to a default level of 80 mA.  
For two LEDs this value is 40 mA. The state of the EN1 function of the SCL/EN1 pin must  
be LOW and the state of the EN2 function of the SDA/EN2 pin HIGH to enter Assist light  
mode (see Table 4). Figure 6 shows the current register setting for the Assist light.  
7.3.6 Flash mode  
The Flash mode allows the main LEDs to be used at high current settings. The Flash  
mode current can be set to up to 500 mA in both the I2C mode and Direct enable mode.  
In I2C mode, the current is defined by bits D[7:4] in the current set register. When two  
LEDs are used and the register is set for more than 400 mA, the maximum current is  
clipped to 400 mA. Generating the Flash mode can be done in the following three ways:  
software controlled  
edge sensitive strobe  
level sensitive strobe  
When using the I2C software controlled flash, the bits in the control register D[1:0] = 11,  
D2 = 0 and D3 = 1 must be set and the timing of the flash is determined by the value of  
the bits D[3:0] in the indicator/timer register. Figure 7 shows the software controlled flash  
operation.

The strobe signal coming directly from the host, or camera processor, can be used to  
avoid I2C latency for the flash. To select Strobe flash mode, bit D2 in the control register  
must be set to 1. In I2C mode the STRB function of the STRB/2LED pin has an internal

pull-down resistor of 350 k, and can be either level sensitive or edge sensitive,  
depending on the value of the bit D5 in the control register (0 = edge sensitive,  
1 = level sensitive).  
When using the level sensitive strobe, the flash operates as long as the strobe signal is  
active, or until the time limit set by the ‘flash timer’ bits in the indicator/timer register is  
reached. This will generate time-out fault. Figure 8 shows the level sensitive strobe flash  
operation.

When the edge sensitive strobe signal is used, the flash is activated at the positive edge  
of the STRB function of the STRB/2LED pin, and the flash operation time will be defined  
from the timer register value. Figure 9 shows the edge sensitive strobe flash operation.

After the flash pulse in all three flash modes, the output ON bit is automatically cleared.  
In Direct enable mode, the flash current will be set to a default level. When only one LED  
is used, the flash current will be set to a default level of 500 mA. For two LEDs, this value  
is 320 mA. Entering Flash mode in Direct enable mode can be done by switching the level  
to HIGH on both the EN1 and EN2 functions of the SCL/EN1 and SDA/EN2 pins (Table 4).  
The LED will stay lit in Flash mode for as long as the enable pins are set to Flash mode,  
but limited to a maximum of 850 ms by the time-out timer. Figure 10 shows the current  
levels for the flash in both the I2C and the Direct enable use case. More details on flash  
timing are given in Section 7.4.1.

7.3.7 Indicator  
The indicator LED is connected between the dedicated indicator LED current output pin  
(I_IND) and GND. Internally, a linear current source controls the indicator LED current to  
the required current level.  
In I2C interface mode, the indicator LED current can be set between 2.5 mA and 10 mA by  
bits D[7:6] of the indicator/timer register.  
When using the Direct enable mode, the indicator current is set to a default level of  
2.5 mA.  
Figure 11 shows the LED current levels for the indicator in both the I2C and the Direct  
enable use case.

7.4 Protection circuits  
There are several integrated protection circuits that protect the device and the application  
against defects. Some of the protection circuits trigger the corresponding bit in the  
fault and info register. In I2C mode, the external logic can read out the status of the  
protection circuits to determine what fault has occurred, and decide on the proper action  
to take. In Direct enable mode, the status register cannot be read out, but the protection  
circuits are still functional. In I2C mode the faults are cleared automatically by reading the  
fault and info register. In Direct enable mode the faults are cleared when the EN1 function  
of SCL/EN1, EN2 function of SCL/EN2 and TORCH pins are set to LOW.  
7.4.1 Time-out protection  
A time-out protection function is used to avoid main LED overloading during flash. The  
timer is started when the Flash mode is activated by the software, or by hardware strobe  
signals in I2C mode, or by the signals EN1 and EN2 in Direct enable mode.  
The time-out protection is active in I2C level sensitive strobe Flash and Direct enable  
modes. When using I2C level sensitive strobe Flash mode the time-out protection is  
triggered when the STRB signal is active longer than the time set by the ‘flash timer’ bits in  
indicator/timer register. In Direct enable mode, the default time limit is used as a trigger for  
this protection. If the EN1/EN2 signals are active (HIGH) longer than the default limit of  
850 ms, the time-out protection is triggered. In case of a time-out fault the IC will stop  
switching and go into Fault mode. The fault and info register is set accordingly to flag a  
fault condition.

7.4.2 Overtemperature protection  
If the chip temperature exceeds its limit (Totp, see Table 9), the SSL3252 will stop  
switching and enter Fault mode.  
When an overtemperature situation is encountered, the fault and info register is set  
accordingly to flag a fault condition. If the chip temperature drops below the Totp(hys) level  
and the fault register is cleared, the SSL3252 can operate normally.  
7.4.3 Overvoltage protection  
If the output voltage (VO) exceeds its limit (VO(ovp), see Table 9), the SSL3252 will stop  
switching and enter Fault mode. Overvoltage protection will be triggered when there is no  
LED connected to LED pin (open), or no capacitor connected to VO pin (open).  
If the overvoltage protection is triggered, the fault and info register is set accordingly to  
flag a fault condition.  
7.4.4 Short-circuit protection  
The output is short-circuit protected to avoid device and battery overloading. If the LED is  
shorted to GND (voltage on LED drops below 1.2 V) due to a main LED, or application  
failure, the SSL3252 will stop switching and enter Fault mode.  
If the short-circuit protection is triggered, the fault and info register is set accordingly to  
flag a fault condition.  
7.4.5 Broken coil detection  
To avoid device and battery overloading from high peak currents, the device is equipped  
with broken coil peak current protection. This protection will be triggered when the core of  
the coil is broken and the inductance of the coil drops below 800 nH (25 %). The broken  
coil detection is done at the beginning of the ramp-up of the LED current. In case of  
broken coil detection, the SSL3252 will stop switching and go in Fault mode.  
If the broken coil protection is triggered, the fault and info register is set accordingly to flag  
a fault condition.  
7.4.6 Indicator output protection  
The I_IND output is short-circuit and open-circuit protected to detect the fault condition.  
In case I_IND is shorted (VI_IND is less than 1.2 V) to GND or open (I_IND current is lower  
than 1.25 mA), the SSL3252 will only stop the indicator LED current source. The rest of  
the device will remain functional.  
If the indicator output protection is triggered, the fault and info register is set accordingly to  
flag a fault condition.  
7.4.7 Undervoltage lockout  
As a result of a low input voltage, the input voltage can drop too low to guarantee normal  
operation. When the input voltage has dropped below the undervoltage lockout level, the  
device switches to Fault mode stopping the switching completely. Start-up in I2C mode is  
only possible by crossing the start-up level (VI(UVLO) + Vhys(UVLO)) and if the TORCH pin is  
LOW, see Table 9. Start-up in Direct enable mode is only possible by crossing the start-up  
level and if EN1 function of SCL/EN1, EN2 function of SDA/EN2 and TORCH pins are

7.5 Soft ramp-up/ramp-down of LED current  
The device is equipped with a soft ramp-up/ramp-down circuit to avoid battery  
overloading. When entering the Torch mode, Assist light mode or Flash mode, when  
switching back to Standby mode or Shut-down mode, or just going from one current mode  
to another (e.g., Torch mode to Flash mode), the soft start circuit will slowly increase or  
decrease the output current until the required LED current has been reached. The  
maximum total ramp-up time will be 1 ms including the 150 s wake-up time for going  
from 0 mA to the maximum current of 500 mA and the maximum ramp-down time of  
770 s for going from 500 mA to 0 mA. The ramp-up/ramp-down time depends on the  
LED current setting.

7.6 Peak current limit  
The device is equipped with a peak current limit function to avoid saturation of the  
inductor. This circuit limits the peak inductor currents to the value set in the control register  
(04h bits D[7:6]). In Direct enable mode the default current limit value is 1.75 A. No  
protection is activated.

7.7 Start-up sequence  
When I2C mode is selected (IF_SEL is HIGH) and the voltage on the VIN pin is rising to a  
level higher than the Power-On Reset (POR) value (POR level is typically 2.0 V) all  
registers are set to their reset state. After the registers are set, the device enters Standby  
mode and waits for I2C commands.  
If the Direct enable mode is selected (IF_SEL is low), POR is detected, and pins EN1  
function of SCL/EN1, EN2 function of SDA/EN2, and TORCH are set to LOW, the device  
will stay in Shut-down mode. When activity is detected on one of the control pins (EN1  
function of SCL/EN1, EN2 function of SDA/EN2 or TORCH), the SSL3252 will start to  
operate using the default settings. When the activity ends (all control pins are LOW) the  
device will go back to Shut-down mode.  
7.8 LED detection  
There is an internal circuit integrated into the SSL3252, which is capable of detecting the  
number of LEDs connected in series to the LED output, and automatically selecting the  
right default current settings. The number of LEDs is detected every time the LED is  
ramping up. At an LED current of 80 mA the voltage at the LED output is compared to the  
reference level of 4.35 V plus the offset set by bits D[5:4] in the indicator/timer register. If  
the measured voltage is higher than the reference level, this is interpreted as two LEDs  
connected in series at the LED pin and the device changes all current settings to the dual  
LED default value. If the voltage is lower than the reference level, the single LED current  
settings are selected.  
In I2C mode, bit D3 in the fault and info register is set according to the detected amount of  
LEDs. In Direct enable mode, the 2LED function of the STRB/2LED pin is used to indicate  
the number of detected LEDs. The STRB/2LED pin is an open-drain output pin in Direct  
enable mode with a maximum sink current of 1 mA. The 2LED function of the STRB/2LED  
pin will only signal the number of LEDs in Flash mode. The signal on the 2LED function of  
the STRB/2LED pin will be active during the flash period from the moment of the detection  
(80 mA LED current) until the moment the LED current is back to 0 mA. In all other  
operating modes, the 2LED function of the STRB/2LED pin will be high-impedance.  
In I2C mode, LED detection can be disabled by setting bit D3 in the current set register to  
0. In this case, the number of LEDs can only be set via the I2C-bus by writing the required  
value to bit 3 from the fault and info register, which results in the corresponding default  
currents being set.  
When operating in Assist light mode or Torch mode and with the LED detection enabled,  
the LED output will always first ramp-up to 80 mA and then ramp-up or ramp-down to the  
value set by the current register.  
7.9 I2C-bus protocol  
The I2C interface is a 2-wire serial interface developed by NXP Semiconductors to  
communicate between different ICs or modules. The two wires 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  
only be initiated when the bus is not busy. The SSL3252 I2C-bus characteristic is the  
400 kbit/s Fast-mode I2C-bus from the I2C-bus specification.

Remark: For more details on the I2C-bus standard, refer to the document  
UM10204, “I2C-bus specification and user manual”  
(www.nxp.com/documents/user_manual/UM10204.pdf).  
The following text describes the protocols used by the SSL3252 for the read and write  
sequences. The read sequence may use a repeated START condition during the  
sequence, to stop the bus being released during the communication. The sequences can  
be used to read or write only one data byte, or to read or write a sequence of data bytes.  
After a START condition, a valid hardware address must be sent to the SSL3252 followed  
by a subaddress and n data bytes. See Figure 14 and Figure 15 below. For the format and  
the timing of the START condition (S), the STOP condition (P) and the Acknowledge bit  
(A), refer to the user manual UM10204.

7.9.1 Addressing  
Each SSL3252 in an I2C-bus system is activated by sending a valid slave address to the  
device. The slave address always has to be sent as the first byte after the START  
condition in the I2C-bus protocol. See Figure 16.

There is one address byte required since 7-bit addresses are used. The last bit of the  
address byte is the read/write bit and should always be set according to the required  
operation. This 7-bit address is 0110 000b (30h). The combination with the LSB R/W bit  
gives a write address of 60h and a read address of 61h.  
The second byte sent to the SSL3252 is the subaddress of the specific register.  
7.9.2 Data  
After the subaddress the data bytes are sent. The definition of the data transfer is given in  
Figure 14 and Figure 15. After each data byte an acknowledge is given and the  
subaddress is automatically incremented to the next subaddress.  
A description of the data that can be programmed in the registers is given in Table 6.

11. Application information  
11.1 Input capacitor  
For good input voltage decoupling, a low ESR ceramic capacitor is highly recommended.  
A 4.7 F (X5R/X7R) 6.3 V is the minimum recommended value. Since the input capacitor  
is supplying the input ripple current, a larger capacitor will improve both the transient  
behavior of the regulator and the EMI behavior of the power supply. Taking capacitor DC  
bias and temperature de-rating specifications into account, a 10 F (X5R/X7R) is  
preferred. Although increasing component count, a smaller capacitor of 100 nF  
(X5R/X7R) placed in parallel to the input capacitor will also improve EMI behavior.  
11.2 Output capacitor  
The output capacitor supplies the current into the main LED, while the inductor is being  
charged, and it also ensures loop stability. The minimum capacitance for stable loop  
operation would be 4.7 F, but taking capacitor DC bias and temperature de-rating  
specifications into account, a low ESR ceramic capacitor of 10 F (X5R/X7R) is highly  
recommended. A higher value of capacitance will improve output current ripple, while  
maintaining loop stability. Typically the SSL3252 overvoltage limit on pin VO is at 9.5 V,  
and the rated voltage of the output capacitor should be at least 10 V.  
11.3 Inductor  
The device has been designed to operate well with inductance values between 1.5 H  
and 3.3 H, in order to optimize for solution size. In a typical high current dual flash LED  
application a 2.2 H inductance is recommended. The inductor’s saturation current should  
be greater than or equal to the inductor peak current limiter current, which is a typical  
1.75 A. During normal operation, it is recommended to keep the inductor peak current  
below this value. The copper losses and magnetic hysteresis losses in the inductor also  
contribute to the total system losses.  
11.4 PCB layout  
It is essential to have a good circuit layout in order to maximize efficiency and minimize  
EMI disturbance. The circuit topology uses an inductor, which is often seen as a main  
source of EMI disturbance, but any loop of wire carrying a current is essentially an  
electromagnet, whose field strength is proportional to the current. Careful circuit layout is  
therefore very important, keeping loop areas small and minimizing the magnetic flux. Due  
to the way a boost converter operates, there are two power states. One state when the  
internal NMOS switch is ON, and one when the NMOS switch is OFF. During each state  
there will be a current loop made by the power components that are conducting. The input  
and output capacitors must be arranged in such a way on the SSL3252 that during each  
of the two states the current loop is conducting in the same direction. This prevents phase  
reversal of the magnetic field, and reduces radiated EMI. The current loop area should be  
kept small by placing the power components as close as possible to the SSL3252. Use  
ground planes to keep the loop areas to a minimum.

Priority should be given for the output capacitor to be positioned as close as possible to  
the VO and PGND nodes of the SSL3252. Since large currents will flow from input  
capacitor to the inductor and not to the VIN pin of the SSL3252, it is wise to locate the  
input capacitor near the inductor. The VIN pin should be star-connected to the positive  
pad of the input capacitor.  
PGND and GND of the SSL3252 should be directly connected to each other. Place the  
ground connection of the output capacitor as close as possible to the PGND pin of the  
SSL3252.  
The preferred minimum trace width for the high current width is 15 mm/A.

13. Soldering of WLCSP packages  
13.1 Introduction to soldering WLCSP packages  
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account  
of soldering WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip-Size Packages) can be found in application note  
AN10439 “Wafer Level Chip Scale Package” and in application note AN10365 “Surface  
mount reflow soldering description”.  
Wave soldering is not suitable for this package.  
All NXP WLCSP packages are lead-free.  
13.2 Board mounting  
Board mounting of a WLCSP requires several steps:  
1. Solder paste printing on the PCB  
2. Component placement with a pick and place machine  
3. The reflow soldering itself  
13.3 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 18) than a PbSn process, thus  
reducing the process window  
Solder paste printing issues, such as 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) while being 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 10.

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 18.

13.3.1 Stand off  
The stand off between the substrate and the chip is determined by:  
The amount of printed solder on the substrate  
The size of the solder land on the substrate  
The bump height on the chip  
The higher the stand off, the better the stresses are released due to TEC (Thermal  
Expansion Coefficient) differences between substrate and chip.  
13.3.2 Quality of solder joint  
A flip-chip joint is considered to be a good joint when the entire solder land has been  
wetted by the solder from the bump. The surface of the joint should be smooth and the  
shape symmetrical. The soldered joints on a chip should be uniform. Voids in the bumps  
after reflow can occur during the reflow process in bumps with high ratio of bump diameter  
to bump height, i.e. low bumps with large diameter. No failures have been found to be  
related to these voids. Solder joint inspection after reflow can be done with X-ray to  
monitor defects such as bridging, open circuits and voids.  
13.3.3 Rework  
In general, rework is not recommended. By rework we mean the process of removing the  
chip from the substrate and replacing it with a new chip. If a chip is removed from the  
substrate, most solder balls of the chip will be damaged. In that case it is recommended  
not to re-use the chip again.

Device removal can be done when the substrate is heated until it is certain that all solder  
joints are molten. The chip can then be carefully removed from the substrate without  
damaging the tracks and solder lands on the substrate. Removing the device must be  
done using plastic tweezers, because metal tweezers can damage the silicon. The  
surface of the substrate should be carefully cleaned and all solder and flux residues  
and/or underfill removed. When a new chip is placed on the substrate, use the flux  
process instead of solder on the solder lands. Apply flux on the bumps at the chip side as  
well as on the solder pads on the substrate. Place and align the new chip while viewing  
with a microscope. To reflow the solder, use the solder profile shown in application note  
AN10365 “Surface mount reflow soldering description”.  
13.3.4 Cleaning  
Cleaning can be done after reflow soldering.
