How does one do these calculations, what are the rules?

Is there a web site that can provide guidance?  QFN's are difficult to
solder well

Pete,

 I agree. Sometime it is less of an agenda and more of a case of never
having reflowed these parts.

 My observation with QFNs has suggested having a good .5 to 1.0 mm of pad
outside the package. It acts like a solder reservoir area allowing solder
to flow out from under the leads as the component reflows and settles down.
So often I see suggest QFN footprint with no such area.

 Just a non-qualified observation.

Bob K.

I never trust the manufacturer's suggested footprint, always do my own
calculations.  They have a different agenda than I need to have.  Lately,
though, I'm finding their footprints much closer to mine.

Pete
