You should be able to use the land pattern calculator, either using the 3
formulae in IPC-SM-782 or from IPC's on-line calculator, as the result is
entirely based on the dimensions for max overall length, lead with, lead
contact length, with an RMS value for component tolerence (Ct), PCB
manufacturing tolerence (Mt) and P&P machine placement tolerence (Pt) i.e.
sq.rt.(Ct^2 + Mt^2 + Pt^2).

Otherwise, I suggest a rough calculation of max lead width + 0.02mm either
side for side fillet, max lead contact length + 0.4mm onto the outside and
0.3mm onto the inside for toe and heel fillets. For larger components, you
can almost discount the tolerences of manufacturing and placement
tolerences, as they're relatively quite small compared with component
tolerence, but for this device, if you have room between pads, I'ld at
least see what the RMS tolerence value does to the pad width and make a
judgement based on experience from there. Ball back in your court a bit.

I asked Technet for its opinion on calculating non-standard land patterns a
couple of weeks ago, and the answer from IPC was that they were working on
these issues, so really, you guess is as good as anyone else's.

Hi guys,
Anybody come across an LCC with 20 pins and only 4mm square? I'm looking at
one from RF MicroDevices - and their datasheet is lacking in the land
pattern department (very helpful...)
I need some advice re: land pattern design. IPC land pattern calc is no use
- it's not a standard LCC design.
All help gratefully received :)

Thanks
