Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

FTDI's FT2232C, FT232BM, FT245BM, FT8U232AM, and FT8U245AM are JEDEC MSL Class 3.  This is specified as 192 hours at 30ºC and 60% relative humidity.

 

The bag can be stored unopened and undamaged for up to 12 months at <40ºC and <90% relative humidity.

 

Devices require baking if:

 

The humidity indicator card is >20% when read at 23ºC +/-5%
The bag is open for over 48 hours at <40ºC and < 90 % relative humidity

 

If baking is required devices can be baked for 24 hours at 125ºC (+/- 5ºC).  This level is defined by EIA JEDEC standard JES022-A112.
