Allegro Package Designations
This document provides reference information as an
aid to differentiating the device package types used by
Allegro
™
MicroSystems. It provides cross-references
to the package designation, an Allegro code that is
integrated into the device part number:
• alphabetical listing of Allegro package
designators, with differentiating specifications
and reference illustrations
• alphabetical listing of common or obsolete
package designators, cross-referenced to Allegro
designators
• key to interpreting Allegro part numbers for
package designators
• key to interpreting Allegro terms for lead forms
The package designator is used to differentiate the
external physical characteristics of the packages for
ordering purposes.
To use this document, in the Allegro Package Code
column, locate the package designator for the device.
Alternatively, use the drawings to identify a package,
or the cross-reference to common terms.
A few package types have leadform options. These
options are indicted by the instruction codes, shown in
parentheses in the Package Designation column. Lead-
form options are shown in separate rows. Leadform
options are not always available for every device type.
The options available for any specific device are
substantially determined by the package designation
for that device. Not all options are available for any
particular package designation or device type, and
provision of certain configurations may be subject
to minimum volume or ncnr (noncancellation, non-
return) limitations.
For clarity and differentiation, the drawings are
schematic and not to scale, however, a representative
footprint is provided at approximately actual size of
the package body when mounted on a pcb. The draw-
ings do not represent all possible configurations of
that device, or any particular device, and may have
features that vary according to supplier preference
within specifications, such as pin 1 index marks.
Exposed thermal pads may have several alternative
layouts for any particular package designation.
When applicable, references to industry-standard
type conventions, such as jedec package registrations,
are provided. These references are for informational
purposes only, and do not necessarily indicate that the
device indicated conforms fully with those standards
in all respects.
NOTE: For information on packages and leadform
configurations offered for individual devices, refer to
the datasheet for the device.
