PRESS RELEASE
Date: May 2009


Chip Size BGA 0.8mm Socket Adapter for
Analog Device Blackfin Embedded Processor


Users can socket their 316 pin 0.8mm pitch BGA Analog Device
ADSP-BF539/ADSP-BF539F IC’s with socket whose footprint same as IC footprint


BURNSVILLE, MN – May, 2009 – Ironwood Electronics’ new high performance socket – SF-BGA316C-B-62F allows 0.8mm pitch, 17x17mm body, 20X20 array Analog Device ADSP-BF539/ADSP-BF539F IC’s to be socketed and operate without compromising performance in demanding automotive applications. The Giga-snaP™ BGA SMT adapter pair consists of SF-BGA316C-B-62F, patent pending female sockets with machined pins epoxy over molded into an assembly that matches the male pin LS-BGA316C-61. The RoHS compliant SF-BGA316C-B-62F is soldered to a PCB using standard soldering methods without warping results in reliable connection to PCB. Both adapters are constructed with high temperature FR-4 body assuring match with target PCB’s and preventing failures that occur with CTE mismatch. LS-BGA316C-61 BGA adapter, to which the user attaches a target 316 ball Analog Devices BGA chip or other compatible chip, is plugged into the female socket on the board, thereby chip is interconnected and the system is ready to go. The SMT adapters have the same solder ball types as the IC they are emulating. The Giga-snaP BGA Surface Mount Feet Adapters require half the force of conventional adapters at 10 pounds for the 316 pin device. The electrical path of the Giga-snaP™ BGA SMT adapters is a high priority performance issue with the physical length from the top connection point on the male adapter to the solder ball on the female socket is 4.5 mm. This is the shortest connection length by far for machined pin sockets, therefore providing better transmission of high frequency signals. These adapters passed environmental tests (MIL-STD) and qualified for automotive applications. The 0.8mm Giga-snaP™ BGA SMT Adapter line is available in many different pin counts and customs can be delivered in days.


Pricing for the SF-BGA316C-B-62F @qty1 = $200.00 each and LS-BGA316C-61 @qty1 = $79.00
