1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Definition of a Chip Card Module
A chip card module is a packaged chip, which is electrically connected with a metal lead-frame and
encapsulated with a mould cap.
The chip card module is used, e.g. for further lamination into contactless Smart Cards according to ISO
14443. It can also be incorporated into e.g. disc-shaped data carriers. The chip card module is best suited
for automated high volume ISO chip card production or RF transponder production.
1.2 Use of the Chip Card Module
The chip card module is designed for connection to a coil and incorporation into a Smart Card (by lamination
etc.) or RF transponder. Specific processing information for coil-module interconnection and packaging is
given in this specification.

4 QUALITY
4.1 Qualification and Reliability
Requirements and test conditions for (re-)qualifications and reliability testing of Chip Card Modules are
detailed in Philips Specifications SNW-FQ-611 (General Quality Specification for Integrated Circuits).
4.2 Lot Acceptance Testing
Lot acceptance testing is performed on every lot prior to shipment. Inspection- and test requirements are
detailed in the General Quality Specification. The number of tests per lot depending on the lot size can be
seen below.
DESCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS
Lot-size Accepted
Mechanical/Visual 1 K to 10 K 0/125
Electrical 10 K to 35 K 0/200
35 K to 150 K 0/315
4.3 Complaint Procedure
Customers complaints should be sent to the contact person in the local Sales Office, who will forward the
complaint directly to the responsible Quality Centre.
Return shipments of security relevant products require special agreements for handling and transport
between customer and Philips Semiconductors.
4.3.1 Information needed for complaint processing:
For fast complaint handling, the documentation supplied with the rejects must include the following
information:
customer name
customer contact
Philips Semiconductors part number
lot size
quantity tested
quantity rejected
quantity returned
date code
inspection and test reference number
purchase order reference
test temperature
test equipment
location of failure (incoming inspection, qualification testing, assembly or field)

4.3.2 Analysis
After verification of the defect, the defective products are analyzed for the root cause and if applicable, an 8-
D procedure is performed to solve the problem.
Note: For products with enabled security modes/features a detailed electrical and physical analysis may not
be practicable.
4.4 Product-/Process-Change Notification
The customer will be notified of major changes of the product, which will affect form, fitting, function or
reliability of the product. The CPCN will be sent to the customer in written form at least 90 calendar days
before implementation of the change unless otherwise specified. Major changes are defined and categorised
in detail in the Philips Semiconductors Specification SNW-SQ-650A (Customer Product-/Process Change
Notification Procedure).
