What is the BGA socket?

BGA Socket is a central processing unit socket (CPU), which uses the type of integrated circuit based on the surface called Ball Grid grid. It is similar to other shape factors, such as the pins (PGA) field (PGA) and the LAND (LGA) grid field in that the contact used to connect the CPU or processor to the motherboard for physical support and electrical connection is neatly arranged in a format similar to a grid. However, BGA is named after its type of contacts, which are small solder balls. This distinguishes it from the PGA, which uses holes for pins; and LGA that contains pins. However, BGA has to achieve the popularity of the above chip factors. Examples include BGA 437 and BGA 441. BGA prefix may also vary depending on the variant of the shape factor used by the socket. For example, the FC-BGA 518, a socket of 518-mocks, uses the Flip-Chip Ball-chip field, which means that it turns the computer chip to be exposed to the back of its matrix. This is particularly advantageousTo reduce the heat processor by placing the radiator on it.

There are several other BGA variants. For example, a ceramic ball grid (CBGA) field and a ball (PBGA) plastic field indicate ceramic and plastic material from which the socket is made. Micro Ball Grid Array (MBGA) is an example of a description of ball size that contains fields. In some cases, the prefixes are combined to indicate BGA sockets that have more than one significant attribute. The first example is MFCBGA or Micro-FCBGA, which means that the BGA socket has smaller contacts with the ball and follows the Flip-Chip form factor.

The main advantage of the BGA socket is its ability to use hundreds of contacts with considerable spacing so that they do not join the old -presence of the old. For the BGA socket, there is also less heat conduction between the component and the motherboard and shows excellent electrical power to other types of integrated circuit. EHowever, some disadvantages Xistory, because BGA format contacts are not as flexible as other types. In addition, BGA sockets are generally not as mechanically reliable as PGA and LGA. Since May 2011, it has lagged behind the two form factors mentioned above, although Intel Corporation semiconductor company uses a socket for its low -voltage Intel atom and a reduced brand.
