5. Production Guidance(Important)
The stamp hole package module produced by Mxchip must completely being patched by SMT machine
in 24 hours after open firmware package. Otherwise the module should be re-package by vacuum pumping
and drying before patch.
Devices for SMT patch:
(1)Reflow soldering machine
(2)AOI detector
(3)Suction nozzle with 6-8mm caliber
Device for drying:
(1)Cabinet type oven
(2)Anti-static and high thermos tolerant tray
(3)Anti-static and high thermos tolerant gloves
Conditions of product storage (Storage environment is shown in figure 8):
Moisture bag must be stored in temperature below 30 and humidity less than 85%RH.
Dry packaging products, the guarantee period should be from 6 months date of packing seal.
Humidity indicator card is in the hermetic package.
Figure 6 Humidity Card
Humidity indicator card and drying situation:
2 hours drying for module if the color ring at 30%, 40%, 50% in humidity indicator card is blue
after unpacking;
4 hours drying for module if the color ring at 30% in humidity indicator card is pink after
unpacking;
6 hours drying for module if the color ring at 30%, 40% in humidity indicator card is pink after

Datasheet [Page 15]
EMW3090
unpacking;
12 hours drying for module if the color ring at 30%, 40%, 50% in humidity indicator card is pink
after unpacking.
Drying parameters:
Drying temperature: 125℃±5℃;
Alarm temperature: 130℃;
SMT patch when the device cool down below 36℃in natural condition;
Dry times: 1;
Please dry again if the module is unsoldering in 12 hours after last drying.
SMT is unsuitable if the module packed over 3 months. There would be serious oxidation of the pad
because of immersion gold and cause false welding and lack of weld. Mxchip does not assume the
corresponding responsibility;
ESD protection is required before SMT;
SMT patch should on the basis of reflow profile diagram, maximum temperature 245℃, reflow profile
diagram is shown in figure 10;
In order to guarantee the reflow soldering qualification rate, vision and AOI detection should be done in
10% products for the first patch to make sure the rationality of temperature control, device adsorption mode
and position. Detect 5 to 10 sample every hour in the following batch production.
5.1 Considerations
Operator should wear anti-static gloves during producing;
No more than drying time;
Any explosive, flammable and corrosive material is not allowed to add in drying;
Module should be put into oven with high thermotolerant tray. Ventilation should exist between each
module and no direct contact with oven;
Make sure oven is closed when drying to prevent temperature leaking;
Reduce opening time or keep closing the door of the oven during drying;
Use anti-static glove to take out module when its temperature below 36℃by natural cool down after
drying;
Make sure no water and dirt in the bottom of the module;
Temperature and humidity control is level 3 for initial modules. Storage and drying conditions are based
on IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.

FCC Regulations:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device ,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiated radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
