=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= ks,=0D=0AAlaa Alani=0D=0AImagination Technologies=0D=0A=0D=0A-=0D=0AThis me= ssage is subject to Imagination Technologies' e-mail terms: http://www.imgt= ec.com/e-mail.htm=0D=0A-=0D=0A ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
