BGA soldering is very reliable if done using the correct procedure, so we introduce GA Soldering on PCB board, BGA Inspection and BGA Rework. According to different packaging materials, BGA components ...

Smooth and straight connections must be created at PCB (Printed Circuit Board) layout. BGA pins may need to be re-assigned, if the BGA is re-configurable, but that's necessary to keep signals and ...

If you want to build cool things these days, you’ve probably had to master surface mount electronics. However, for many people, ball grid array (BGA) is still intimidating. Have a look at [VoltLog’s] ...

Recently, we stumbled upon a video by [iBoff], adding an M.2 NVMe port to a 2011-2013 MacBook. Apple laptops never came with proper M.2 ports, especially the A1278 – so what’s up? The trick is – ...

Diagram of a ball grid array (BGA). Engineers can use digital image correlation (DIC) to assess its thermal expansion or warpage due to thermal, mechanical and thermo-mechanical loads. DIC is an ...

Conversely,experienced embedded designers know to mask or tent BGA vias at thedesign and layout level. Even when this step is omitted, adesign-for-manufacture (DFM) check mapped out at the planning ...

Memory chip packaging designs changed significantly when the industry moved from SDR to DDR. Some common DRAM packaging includes Thin Small-Outline Package (TSOP), Chip-Scale Packaging (CSP), ...

Computer hardware gets better, faster, and cheaper as time goes by. This is particularly true of portable computing devices such as the Dell XPS notebook we are looking at today. What we are ...
