The naming encodes a product family (8386), a variant index (1), a 172-pin DRQFN package and a tape-and-reel (TR) shipment option for automated assembly. This listing is focused on procurement, mechanical integration and board-level assembly benefits for engineers and sourcing specialists. For manufacturer and ordering details see IC Manufacturer.

QCA-8386-1-DRQFN172-TR-00-0 Technical Specifications

QCA-8386-1-DRQFN172-TR-00-0 Key Features

• High pin-count 172-lead DRQFN package enables dense I/O mapping and flexible board routing, reducing multi-chip solutions.
• Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports automated pick-and-place and reflow assembly, which improves throughput and reduces labor costs.
• Surface-mount DRQFN form factor provides a low-profile footprint that simplifies thermal path design and supports compact board layouts.
• Clear revision coding (00-0) and variant index (1) simplify BOM control and traceability during procurement and production.

Typical Applications

• Board-level modules where a high pin-count IC in a compact DRQFN package reduces module area and eases routing for multi-signal systems.
• Automated manufacturing lines that require tape-and-reel supplied components for high-volume pick-and-place and consistent reel handling.
• Industrial or telecom assemblies that prioritize surface-mount components with controlled package geometry for repeatable solder reflow profiles.
• Repairable or upgradeable systems where clear revision and variant coding improves inventory segregation and lifecycle management.

QCA-8386-1-DRQFN172-TR-00-0 Advantages vs Typical Alternatives

The DRQFN172 format offers a smaller board footprint and lower profile than many dual-inline or large-BGA alternatives while still providing a comparably high number of pins. Tape-and-reel packaging makes this part easier to integrate into automated assembly lines compared with loose-tube or cut-tape options. The explicit family and revision coding helps procurement and production teams maintain part traceability and reduces the risk of cross-revision substitution during manufacturing.

FAQ

What does DRQFN172 mean?

DRQFN172 indicates a discrete, rectangular quad-flat no-lead package with a total of 172 pins. The code emphasizes a low-profile surface-mount form factor suited for dense board layouts and automated pick-and-place assembly.

What does TR packaging provide?

TR is the tape-and-reel format used for automated assembly. It supplies parts in reels compatible with standard pick-and-place feeders, improving placement speed and reducing manual handling for large production runs.

How is revision coded in this part?

The trailing string 00-0 represents the revision or internal variant code. This helps purchasing and manufacturing teams to match assembly BOMs to the correct revision for traceability and quality control.

Can I use standard DRQFN land patterns?

Board layout should follow the manufacturer??s recommended DRQFN land pattern for pad dimensions and thermal vias. Always consult the official datasheet for exact pad size, solder mask and stencil recommendations before final PCB fabrication.

Where to find official datasheet?

Obtain the official datasheet and mechanical drawings from the manufacturer or authorized distributor. The datasheet contains exact electrical specs, thermal data and recommended PCB footprint needed for final design and validation.
