Video system design goes beyond evaluating and using the right microprocessors, peripheral chips and other related components. Consider that high-pin count, fine-pitch BGAs ranging upwards of 1,052 ...

The Ball Grid Array, or BGA package is no longer the exclusive preserve of large, complex chips on computer motherboards: today even simple microcontrollers are available with those little solder ...

As a circuit designer who also often lays out quite complex boards, I found the temptation to purchase Charles Pfeil’s new book—BGA Breakouts & Routing: Effective Design Methods for Very Large BGAs ...

Fairchild Semiconductor’s BGA packaged power MOSFETs are not currently available from a second source. However, the company has addressed the second-source issue by developing a dual layout, which ...

The BGA component serves the primary role of redistributing the signals from the die it protects to an interface pattern (the BGA’s balls) compatible with the host PCB it mounts on. As a result, many ...

Intel is rumoured to be considering releasing its Broadwell processors in a single package type using a ball-grid array (BGA) layout - potentially putting an end to the days of user-replaceable ...
