T(L)QFP (Thin (Low profile) Quad Flat Package)
Overview
SAMSUNG's LQFP(Low-profile Quad Flat Package) is a surface mount integrated circuit package format with component leads extending from each of the four sides. Pins are numbered counter-clockwise from the index dot. Spacing between pins can vary; common spacings are 0.4, 0.5, 0.65 and 0.80 mm intervals.
TQFP, or Thin Quad Flat Package, is a type of IC packaging designed for use in space-conscious applications such as PC cards. TQFP-packaged chips are thinner than PQFP-packaged chips, with a thickness of either 1.0mm or 1.4mm.
Low profile and thin quad flat packages (QFP) are classified by the overall thickness (t) according to JEDEC definition :
- L type: 1.2 < t <=1.7 mm
- T type: 1 < t <=1.2 mm

Thermal Performance
- General thermal characteristics are the same as PBGA but thermal resistance of FBGA is much higher than usual PBGA because of smaller die size and smaller package body size. Thermal conductivities of packaging materials are almost same.
- Center thermal ball configuration is much helpful to enhance thermal performance because heat transfer through thermal via and thermal ball can be activated with heat conduction.
Electrical Performance
- Power/Ground nets can be routed as short as possible, which gives promising solution for about 1nH/pad. Based on requirement, the multilayer PCB can be employed for enhancing power delivery.
- Differential signal line for USB, SATA, and etc can be easily implemented with managing characteristic impedance. Typically, 100Ohm differential signal line design is available over 10 Gbps.
- The dedicated custom package design is avaiable with field solving solution and circuit simulation for any special design requiring electrical performance including xtalk management, ultra-low impedance power supply network, and skew-management.
