Hi,

I attach schematic of FPGA (U6) for your reference. I do not manage to get the re-flow temperature profiles at this moment.

Please advise can we proceed for FA? If yes, may I have the shipping address?

Thanks.

Thank you Shwu Ching for all the details provided.

From the statement given, I can get some picture of the issue.

I can see it might be because of electrical overstress (EOS) issue. Power pins short to ground is one of the symptoms of EOS.
In order to avoid electrical damage, the device should always be handled in a static-free environment and all the input signals should remain within specified limits, as recommended in the PSG Data Book and associated application notes, at all times.

For your information, EOS is fall under mishandling issue.

Regards,
Wani

    Hi,

    We are handling products in ESD safe environment and all this failure are fail at incoming board pretest failure. We have been tested and shipped around more than 1k boards and do not have issues and only seeing this batch failures recently.

    Thanks,

    Hi Wani,

    Please help to advise can we ship parts for FA as we encountered this issue (13 parts failed) for recent batches only.

    Thanks,
