Hi all, I'm having some confusion related to BGA. I believe BGA can have planes for ground, core vdd, io vdd etc. Since the planes are equipotential, can I assume for same number of power pin count in QFP, I can reduce balls in BGA. For ex., I have a common die for two packages say, QFP and BGA with same number of pads for both packages. But I want to reduce the power pin count by taking advantage of planes in BGA. Is it possible? Could anyone throw some light on it? Regards Canes __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
