CSP Leadless-LGA
 

Product Overview

 
Land grid array (LGA) uses laminate substrate to form the landing pad and the exposed pad for performance enhancement. It is essentially a BGA minus the solder balls. LGA's advant-age over other leadless packages is its flexible routing and multi-chip module capability LGA is also a thinner (down to 0.66 mm) and lighter CSP. LGA technology has been developed for lead free solution and space reduction on mother boards. This type of package has chip size solution based on mature laminated substrate technology and material.


Application
 
LGA is suitable for high performance ICs like Single Chip, CPU, Logic and Memory. Common applications for this type of package includes:

Performance

 
Electrical Characterization
 
Unlike BCC and MCC, some LGA packages have signal traces to connect the peripheral I/O pads on chip with array landing pads in the substrate. Thus the electrical data is not attributed to the gold wire only. Almost all the LGA substrates are customized. The RLC data is therefore variable. (Contact ASE R&D for electrical data.)
