Assembly Hints

• There are plenty of hand SMD instructions on the web - try searching through yahoo.  There is a good set at the old embedded ethernet page
• Fit the CS8900 first - pins the corners down and inspect the position under a magnifier in bright light.  Take your time - they are very difficult to remove intact - ensure all pins are in place before proceeding.  There should be enough solder on the pads (if you are using a plated board) to bond the chip down.  Small amounts can be applied to the iron tip where the plating is insufficient.  Use lots of liquid/paste flux.  Clean up any mistakes with solder wick.
• Have no fear, it is easy to do, just take your time and be gentle.
• Cygnal have a very good basic SMD soldering guide on their we site at AN014.
