MAX3232-EP: CTE Coefficient of thermal expansion of the DB (SSOP-16) package (MAX3232MDBREP)

Hi Mladen, 

Thanks for posting on E2E!

That spec is typically not listed in our datasheets. Are you looking for the CTE for the package specifically or the die? Depending on your answer here, I will reach out to the right team internally to figure this out for you. 

If possible could you also share what your goal with this spec is?

Best regards,

Ethan

HI!

Thank you for responding!
looking for the CTE of the package for the MAX3232MDBREP - to figure out how it will expand ... we have limited space.

Thank you in advance!

Perfect, thanks for the clarification. I will reach out to our packaging team about this. Note that it might take a week or two to get this coefficient. Looking at other CTE requests, it looks like the team might need to manually measure this value for you. But hopefully they have it already. I'll keep this thread open so this doesn't get forgotten.

Mladen,

I have been messaging back and forth with our packaging team. They have already started the process and results can be expected by the end of this week.
