We have on regular basis the same complains for ADIS16209CCCZ.
The customers report as follows:
... these IC are shorted to GND as soon as they were soldered in place while using small programmable re-flow oven. ...
... 3 pcs of p/n 1607244 INCLINOMETER, ±1.7G, 3.3V, 16LGA but none of them worked. Two had a shorting inside VCC and GND - and the Dout signal was not working in the third one....
Does anybody has encountered more similar problems and what could be the reason why this happens?
Regards
