Hi, There is a new version of 1020-pin BGA routing test for checking at :) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/protel-users/files/junk/ please tell me that this is OK? ;) or tell me how to manage this damn chip :) Used layers are TOP, MID1, MID2 and BOT (BOT layer is not routed yet...) so I think it can be done with 4 signal layers (maybe not all signal pads but many of them), there will be 4 layers for power planes 2*GND and 2*POWER (planned 8 layer board) -Juha Pajunen -Original Message- From: Juha Pajunen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 1. lokakuuta 2002 9:43 To: Protel EDA Forum Subject: Re: [PEDA] 1020-pin BGA out-routing question (some add) Here is link for device package itself... http://www.altera.com/support/devices/packaging/specifications/pkg-pin/pdf/1 020-FBGA_Therm.pdf here is link for the pin-out files... http://www.altera.com/literature/lit-dp.html#stratix here is link for the chip... http://www.altera.com/literature/ds/ds_stx.pdf' -Juha Pajunen -Original Message- From: JaMi Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 1. lokakuuta 2002 5:19 To: Protel EDA Forum Subject: Re: [PEDA] 1020-pin BGA out-routing question (some add) Is there an actual datasheet for the specific device you are using?

Re: [PEDA] 1020-pin BGA out-routing question (some add)
Hi, I changed the footprint, 40mil pitch with 20mil pads. VIAs between SMD pad are 16mil pad and 8mil hole, we want use this because there will be more room for routing and SOLDERMASK is bigger between SMD pad and VIA (I have 4mil opening for SMD pads and VIAs are tentd or 0mil opening; which one is better). Traces are 4mil and gap is also 4mil, need to route two trace between SMD pads, do not want make over 10 layer board... Should I use two powerplanes for FPGA core voltage, I/O voltage for FPGA (there is 8 bank, so we might need 8 different I/O voltages), VREF voltage for each bank (8 bank), 3.3V for memory and other chips... how to manage all those different voltages...??? How about making splitplanes on GNDplane for different GNDs? (memory, I/O, of cource there will be own GND splitplane for FPGA chip...???) JaMi wrote...

Traces are 4mil and gap is also 4mil, need to route two trace between SMD pads, do not want make over 10 layer board... Do not change your spacing to .040 unless that is the actual spacing of your device. I only offered that because it was used in a presentation that I attended on the subject, but if I actually understand correctly, your BGA is 1.00mm spacing (actually .03937 and not .04000), and the cumulative error would definitely cause a problem on a pattern this large. Stick with what the databook calls for on the pitch, and adjust everything else to match that. If you are using an 8 mil hole in a 16 mil pad, that requires a 8 mil overall feature registration (.004 true position), which is pretty tight for an 8 by 5 inch board, and that would allow zero for annular ring, which is acceptable (for certain manufacturing specs), but forces you to use teardrops on all of your vias. I would think that you would be much better off tightening up your solder mask, and it's registration, and using the extra slop (as it were) in the rest of the design. Even if you stuck with the 8 mil hole, and kicked your pad up to 18 mils, but kept the same feature registration, you could at least avoid breakouts. Anyway, something to think about. Remember that Protel does allow you to remove unused internal pads when you generate gerbers, but I would not want to depend on this for any clearances (I would prefer to make a special via for the specific occasion and location in which I juggled the pad stack (s it were), if I had a tight spot or two and needed a little extra space. I will try and locate the number of the IPC Spec that discusses breakout in this specific situation. Also remember that when you consider overall feature registration and breakout, you also have to consider the effect on plane clearance, and remember that hole size is usually based on final hole size, after plating, while the plane clearance itself has to take into account the max drill size (including any etchback (if present)). This brings up the related subject of thermals. The via farm under a BGA usually has the effect of making swiss cheese out of any planes that run under the BGA, and you have to be very careful about how you use thermals here, because you can literally destroy any plane that is left after the normal clearance for the tightly packed vias if you are not careful. Some people demand the use of thermals under a BGA, regardless of the number of perforations in the plane due to vias, in which case, I would say that you need to be very very careful with the specific dimensions if the thermal (make one specifically for use under the BGA if necessary) and make sure that your final gerbers look OK before you ship them out and make the board. My own opinion in this case, is to NOT use a thermal at all on the via, but rather the connections to the plane direct, and then make sure that the trace that goes between the via and the actual BGA pad, is small enough (say 8 mils) that it acts as a thermal relief itself (in just the same manner as if you have a surface mount pad on an outer layer that you had to isolate from a plane (just as the Polygon Plane fill does)). This is usually enough thermal isolation from the plane itself, to not affect the soldering of the BGA, but you had better check with your assembly house (it might require some special profiling) and get their approval on this one, before you go this route, since I am sure that many people out there would disagree with me on this point. With the trace between the via and pad at about 8 mil, it will provide thermal isolation that is required for the soldering operation, but at the same time it is short enough so that it does not become too much of an inductor for those power and ground connections. You might want some other opinions on this one. Two traces per routing channel is very do-able, and respecting the actual number of layers you will need, I can't help you there, as it will take

Re: [PEDA] 1020-pin BGA out-routing question (some add)
Juha, OK, I looked at the layout, and the part number device, EP1S30, and did a search on the net, and came up with ALTERA STRATIX. Yes, the LVDS is in fact controlled impedance, 100 ohm differential, or you could probably route individual lines at 50 ohm. It does appear that some of the Stratix devices have the required 100 ohm termination built in, but I am not sure about yours, and this may be good providing that you are using the Stradix device as the differential receiver, however if you are using it as the LVDS driver / transmitter, then you will probably have to provide your own termination at the other end of the line. The first thing that you might want to do is look at the following ALTERA links: Ap Note for High Speed Board Design: http://www.altera.com/literature/an/an075.pdf Using High Speed Differential I/O Interfaces in Stratix Devices: http://www.altera.com/literature/an/an202.pdf These should give you some idea of just what you need to do in terms of routing, at least in the LVDS area. I looked around for some real life pinout diagrams, and only found some fairly poor tables, which would take me forever to map out. The mapping in your sample layout doesn't look quite right (although possibly it is and I am just not looking at it correctly), but I don't have the time to go over it. Can you point me to some ALTERA maps or pin out pictorals if there are any?

Re: [PEDA] 1020-pin BGA out-routing question (some add)
Hei Juha, I currently don't have the time to work out a detailed routing strategy, but if I hear of such a biest I would consider blind/buried vias. If you choose to go to microvias you even can place them within the BGA pads! Depending the overall complexity I would recommend a 2+N+2 stack in microvia technology (if assembled double sided and dense). This means vias from Top to Mid1, Mid1 to Mid2, Bottom to Bottom-1, Bottom-1 to Bottom-2 and thru the whole stack (these are conventionally drilled). Depending your actual project you may be able to simplify this.

Re: [PEDA] 1020-pin BGA out-routing question (some add)
How would you even solder a 1020pin BGA (I assume that's 32x32 with the four central balls missing?) I say that you'd need to use blind vias, with a lot of layers (I've never worked on BGA's but would imagine that you might get 4rows/columns per layer). My estimate would require around 8layers. That's if you've got signals on every layer.

Juha, It seems that everyone is missing the primary questions. What is the speed of the device? What type of routing are you doing, TTL / CMOS, ECL, LVDS, etc., etc., etc.? How many of the actual I/O's are you actually using? Where are all of your I?O's going to or comming from (do most of them have to go the same direction on the board, or are they generally going to be able to go in four different directions, etc., etc., etc.? While implied in some of the above questions, specifically, do you need controlled impedance? How many supplies are involved, and how much decoupling does the specific device require? Are there more than one ground planes involved? No reason to panic. Yet.

Re: [PEDA] 1020-pin BGA out-routing question (some add)
I would agree with his statements.. but there is other equally important considerations. First thing is use the component centre as the component origin. It will save you headacks later, Place it on a metric (1mm) grid even if the rest of the board is placed on an imperial grid. (But move your board origin to 2000mil, 2000mil first). Place the vias on a 0.5mm grid. Increase the pad size slightly 20mil? .. unless you have a doc to say otherwise and vias to 20mil with .3mm hole.. that's 8mil annular ring and will be less likely to break out. Also the tracks on the top 8mil. it fits ok.. except around the edge where they will need to be 7 mil to keep 8mil track to track spacing (you may want to neck down) this will give you less of a problem with under/over etch. Then identify all the ground and power traces, they will dictate how you layout the whole device. I have used a XXX type arrangement for the grounds before, this seems to work well (that is you join all the grounds with long diagonal traces and place a via at the intersection of the traces). This is a Motorola thing not mine :-) Power is usually after the GND and uses the free space created by the GND XXX for its vias.. makes it easy to see on the bottom of the board too. The you have to look at your signals as suggested, and determine how many layers you will allow to route out on and how many of the signals are high speed, matched impedances, time critical, slow speed, static etc. Do the grid, via and traces and identify the power/GND and I will look again :-) as will others I am sure Simon -Original Message- From: JaMi Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, 28 September 2002 7:03 a.m. To: Protel EDA Forum Cc: JaMi Smith Subject: Re: [PEDA] 1020-pin BGA out-routing question (some add) Juha, Just looked at your database.
