=20=0D=0AHi,=0D=0A=20=0D=0AI am looking into the placement of power and gro=
und balls in BGA=0D=0Apackages. In Xilinx's Virtex-II handbook, it is shown=
 that GND balls are=0D=0Aplaced in the centre island (beneath the die) and =
also arranged radially=0D=0Atowards the four corners of the package. Power =
balls on the other hand,=0D=0Aare surrounding the die on four sides. Are th=
ere any guidelines for=0D=0Aplacement of pwr/gnd balls in BGA=3F Should the=
 number of power and ground=0D=0Aballs be the same or should we allocate mo=
re ground balls in order to=0D=0Areduce ground bounce=3F=0D=0A=20=0D=0AThan=
