  • Small footprint (yields savings in PCB space)
  • Thin package (< 1mm package height)
  • Excellent thermal performance (Soldering the exposed thermal paddle to the board provides an excellent path for heat transfer from die to the board)
  • Smaller size, form factor, and location of contact pads allows parts to be placed closer to the other components on the board
  • Negligible package lead inductance
  • Uses standard surface mount equipment and flow for PCB assembly
  • There are no lead co-planarity issues with this package
