Does anyone see any issues in mixing SMD and NSMD pads within one BGA footprint. We have high current pads which we want to make SMD and the other signal pads to be NSMD

Charles, I am senior engineer in the environmental test lab for Agilent Technologies(HP Spin off). I am working on qualifying a large SCI(Solder Collumn Interposer) CBGA package. The package is 1mm pitch. The balls are .72mm. The number of balls ar

I'm no expert but I think you will find the majority of discussions around BGA & good printing results focus on the PCB design and things like tented vias and pad definition. e.g https://macrofab.com/blog/bga-pad-creation-smd-nsmd/ After that, work

We've never heard of a situtation where oversized pads caused voiding. Your supplier is correct that the pads on the board should be the same size as the pads on the interposer, but this is to improve reliability issues. Search the fine SMTnet Archi

Hi, If I were working with a 75 um thick stencil, Is there a spec. as to what the maximum value allowed on actual solder height measurements? Stencil type: Laser cut and electropolished Solder paste type: Type 4 Sn-Sb Would the measured values va

I've searched the archives and maybe my search skills aren't up to snuff but I couldn't find much. I'm curious what people are doing for 0.4 mm pitch BGAs, assuming a type 4 paste. Pad diameter? SMD or NSMD? Stencil thickness? Aperture diameter? Us

Does this device have a integral heat sink / metal slug on top, like a TI TM320C6XXX er a Altera EP20K4XX? Compare the size of the pads on the interposer and the board. Compare the type solder mask [NSMD vs SMD] on the interposer and the board. Wh

Since posting the above comment extolling the virtues of NSMD pads and disparaging SMD pads, we've learned that the points apply to all array devices, but in spite of that some designers of fine pitch [eg, 0.4, 0.5mm pitch] array devices choose SMD w

Robert: Ah, opinions are like mothers, everyone has one. Here's mine: 1 Goto the Altera site, get a copy of "AN 114," follow it. Generally, manufacturers are closer to the requirements of their components than others are. 2 Metal showing on the b
