3 Universal Land Patterns for 6-pin DLE and DLF Packages

Six-pin DLE and DLF oscillators currently on the market tend to have varying placements of the corner pins, which leads to different footprints and land patterns that are often incompatible with each other. Installing an oscillator on an unsuitable land pattern results in overhangs that can potentially affect performance. TI’s universal land patterns in DLE and DLF sizes are one-size-fits-all designs that feature more generously-sized corner pads.

The 6-pin DLE or DLF oscillators fit comfortably on the respective versions of the universal land pattern without overhangs. Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4 show device footprints from both TI and many other vendors overlaid on the universal land patterns.
