Bulk package and board integration
The MAX9700CETB: This part is supplied in Bulk packaging, which typically ships in tubes or trays rather than tape-and-reel. For a reflow-assembly line, the Bulk format means the parts are not carrier-taped; a tube feeder or tray shaker is needed for pick-and-place, or hand placement for prototype runs. Confirm the package code with the detailed datasheet to verify the exact outline and pad footprint.
