This means routing signals becomes more difficult. Thus, precise BGA (Ball Grid Array integrated circuit package) partitioning on a PCB is a crucial design aspect to minimize or eliminate crosstalk ...

The folks at Mentor Graphics have just announced the publication of a new book written by Charles Pfeil. Charles is the engineering director of Mentor's Systems Design Division, and the book is ...

The following paper provides Via Fanout and Trace Routing solutions for various metric pitch Ball Grid Array Packages. Note: the “metric” dimensions are the ruling numbers. To solve the metric pitch ...

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 ...

Charles Pfeil is an Engineering Director in the Systems Design Division at Mentor Graphics. My first experience with computerized printed-circuit-board (PCB) design was in 1978 when I acquired two ...
