Nordic VLSI Significantly Increases Production Capacity for its 2.4GHz wireless component portfolio to Meet Future Demand
Oslo, Norway - 2nd of April 2004 - Following a sharp increase in demand for its 2.4GHz wireless component portfolio, Nordic VLSI this week announced that it will expand the production test capacity by moving from single to dual-site load boards in its European as well as Taiwanese test facility. The move also includes additional test lines that will be added for a further increase in total production capacity.
nRF24XX components are currently supplied in a QFN sawing type package, i.e. individual parts are singulated from the strip though a sawing operation. Nordic will change the technology employed for the assembly of nRF24XX components from a sawing type into a punch type singulated package. The move will significantly increase the assembly capacity, and will ensure that current and future demand for nRF24XX can be met.
With these measures being finalized in 2nd Quarter 2004 Nordic has completed a program to ensure that future requirements for capacity and environmental issues can be met. In addition to the measures above Nordic will in 2nd Quarter 2004 start volume production of the pin for pin and spec for spec compliant nRF2401G, nRF24E1G, nRF2402G and nRF24E2G to offer a PB-free Green alternative to customers. The nrF24XXG are in compliance with the European Parliament Directive entitled "Restrictions on the use of Hazardous Substances" (RoHS) and also comply with universal environmental regulations set by the United States, Japan, and China. In addition, the Green QFN packages meet JEDEC's moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements of 2. Offering better MSL performance than lead-containing packages, the Green QFN package provides robust solder joint life and is fully compatible with regular assembly process
