I have twenty Xilinx XC9572XL VQFP64. Their sealed package has been open two months, and stored in an office with no temperature/humidity control. Now I want to get these devices soldered in for a pre-production run.
If I put these in without carrying out a baking cycle am I asking for trouble? What are the likely effects due to moisture, and what are people's real-life experiences?
Many thanks,
Dave
