What are the ball pitch of these uBGA?
BGA and FGA,with a lot of work, can be done. May be that CSA also, but
I don't want to think about ever!
BGA has 1.5mm ball-ball spacing, enought to convert without difficult
to "hole-throught" soldering small pieces of wire to each ball and
carefully aligning the pins to plug in the well aligned PCB holes!
I tried with a dead chip and certainly can be done. But if the chip
is in BGA usually has a lot of pins!
The FGA has 1mm ball-ball and should be possible also, but really
more harder, and of course the PCB difficult to built. CSA are
0.8mm ball-ball that I don't felt comfortable with the idea.
Also there is adapters to hole-throught, but very expensives.
Other idea are a nail bed and fasten the chip to keep the presure.
BGA: Ball Grid Array
FGA: ball Fine pitch Grid Array
CSA: ball Chip Scale Array
