Ball Grid Array - A type of chip packaging in which the "pins" or connections to the PCB is a series of small lands or pads which come prepared with small solder balls attached. When place upon the corresponding matching pattern on the PCB and subjected to solder reflow, the balls melt and form electrical and mechanical connections between the land on the package and the pad on the PCB. Characterized by attachment on the flat bottom of the package.

Ascertaining that a BGA's decoupling capacitance is good enough

BGA parts often have a large number of power pins in the middle of the package. It is of course important to ensure that the power rail has been sufficiently capacitively decoupled. How can one go ...
