Bondmaster

This module downloads the index of packages from a central server (via ftp) and enables the user to scan through the available packages. The user can filter so that only packages that meet certain criterion are displayed.

Criterion Include:

  • Package Family
  • Die Attach Paddle Size
  • Number of Pins
The Bondmaster Main Window

bondmaster main

Upon starting the Bondmaster Viewer, it immediately contacts the package database ftp server and downloads the index file known as dwgs.txt. This contains the list of all parts in the database along with their pin count, package family, paddle size and release information.

This information is displayed in spreadsheet format.

Package Family

The package family pulldown enables the user to view only members of that particular package family. For example if the user chooses to see FBGA's, the display might look like the one below:


bondmaster for fbga


Filtering

In addition to filtering by package family a product engineer can use additional criteria to filter the displayed packages. By pressing the Filter button a new dialog opens up.

Filtering by Part Size

If you select this option then you can specify the number of leads (must be an exact match) and enter the die width and height. Only parts whose paddle exceeds the die width and height by 0.040 inch (40 mils) will be selected.


Filtering by Part Number

If you know the part number, then check this radio button and enter it.
Example

You wish to find all packages that have 24 leads and will accomodate a die that is 0.1 by 0.1 inch in size. Your filter entry will look as follows:
