PCB Layout Recommendations

The recommended layout pads for the module are shown in the figure below. All dimensions

are in thousands of an inch (mil). The circle in upper left corner is an orientation mark only,

and should not be a part of the copper pattern.

The area underneath the module should be covered with solder resist in order to prevent

short circuiting the test pads on the back side of the module. A solid ground plane is

preferred. Unconnected pins should be soldered to the pads, and the pads should be left

floating.
