The leadless chip carrier (LCC) package represents the
logical next step in the continual evolution of surface
mount technology. Desinged to be a close replacement
for the TO-39 package, the LCC will give designers the
extra flexibility they need to increase circuit board den-
sity. International Rectifier has engineered the LCC pack-
age to meet the specific needs of the power market by
increasing the size of the bottom source pad, thereby
enhancing the thermal and electrical performance. The
lid of the package is grounded to the source to reduce
RF interference.
