Why are there no BGA chips with triangular tessellation of circular pads (a "hexagonal grid")?
Ball grid arrays are advantageous integrated circuit packages when a high interconnect density and/or low parasitic inductance is paramount. However, they all use a rectangular grid.
A triangular ...

Creating with BGA
I have a project that I've begun to work on, it's sort of an embedded PC type project, with a iMx6 arm processor. However, since this is a (potentially) commercial venture, we can't use prebuilt ...

Via on pad for bga decoupling. Is this ok when hand soldering?
I have understood that via on pad is bad for automatic assembly processes, but can be fine for hand soldering, since it is easy to compensate for the solder that wicks into the via.
I am doing a small ...

BGA Microcontroller Only Works with Finger Pressing
I have a PCBA with a BGA microcontroller on it. I found that two UART pins send/receive garbled output unless I press my finger down on the BGA package itself.
I've seen this on a few boards and I ...
