BURNSVILLE, MN – October, 2009 – Ironwood Electronics’ new high performance socket adapter – SF-BGA199B-B-05 allows 0.65mm pitch, 12x16mm body, 18X22 array Samsung MCP KMYFE0C0CM-D300 memory IC’s to be placed in socket and operate without compromising performance in demanding applications. If the target circuit board already exists or mounting holes cannot be drilled into the target board, then a BGA SMT adapter can be used with an Ironwood GHz socket. The BGA SMT adapter consists of solder balls on the bottom side and round pads on the topside. It looks very similar to the actual IC except it is slightly larger than the IC to accommodate threaded insert on four corners. Ironwood GHz socket can be mounted on to this adapter using the screws that mate into the threaded insert. The BGA SMT adapter is soldered to a PCB using standard soldering methods. The adapter is constructed with high temperature FR-4 body assuring match with target PCB’s CTE and prevents failures that may occur with CTE mismatch. Ironwood GHz socket, to which the user attaches a target 199 ball Samsung BGA memory chip or other compatible chip, is assembled onto the adapter through threaded inserts, 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 electrical path of the BGA SMT adapters is optimized using conductive filled via technology. This is the shortest connection length by far for any socket adapters, therefore providing better transmission of high frequency signals. The 0.65mm BGA SMT Adapters are available in many different pin counts and customs can be delivered in days.

August, 2009 – Design engineers using 0.075” pitch 117 position BGA ICs will be interested in the release of PA-BGA117C-P-S-01 prototyping adapter from Ironwood Electronics. This new adapter release is a part of Ironwood Electronics’ high performance prototyping adapter product line that allows quick prototyping of BGA ICs. A clam-shell spring pin ZIF socket (SS-BGA117C-01 sold separately) can be used with the prototyping adapter which provides easy access to address and data lines and simplifies IC swap out. This adapter interfaces the 117 position 0.075” pitch BGA SMT land pattern to a 0.100” center pin grid array (PGA). PA-BGA117C-P-S-01 is constructed with gold plated solder-tail machined pins for maximum reliability when the adapter is plugged into a receptacle or soldered down to PCB. Optionally, the adapters can be supplied with wire-wrap pins so the prototype can be built on very inexpensive wire-wrap panels.

The SS-BGA117C-01 operates at bandwidths up to 10 GHz with less than 1dB of insertion loss. The sockets are designed to dissipate up to several watts without extra heat sinking and can handle up to 100 watts with custom heat sink. The self inductance of the contactor is typically 0.62nH per pin. The socket connects all pins with 10+ GHz bandwidth on all connections to the proto adapter.

The SS-BGA117C-01 is constructed with high performance and low inductance Spring Pins (pogo) with 500,000 insertion capability. There is 30 grams of force on each ball when IC is inserted and lid is actuated. The temperature range is -40 C to +150 C. Current capacity on each contactor is 4 amps at ambient temperature. User simply drops in BGA chip, turns screw, and start testing.

The PA-BGA117C-P-S-01 (BGA prototyping adapter) is available immediately at $190.00 each at quantity 1-10 and reduced pricing available on higher quantities. The SS-BGA117C-01 (Clamshell spring pin BGA socket) is available immediately at $1288.00 each at quantity 1-10 and reduced pricing available on higher quantities.

Probing Adapter for 60 Pin DDR BGA

Full Speed Debugging of low power, ST Micro 0.8mm pitch 64 Mbit FLASH memory with
PSRAM is made easier with LA-BGA88D-FLASH-PSRAM-01 Logic Analyzer Adapter

BURNSVILLE, MN – February, 2008 – Ironwood Electronics’ LA-BGA88D-FLASH-PSRAM-01 Logic Analyzer Adapter which allows high-speed operation simultaneously enabling memory device analysis used in PDAs, Cellphones, Digital cameras and MP3 players using Tektronix Logic Analyzer System. Ironwood Electronics is an expert in developing high-speed interfaces for processors, peripheral IC’s and memory devices and is a development partner with both Agilent and Tektronix. Features of the LA-BGA88D-FLASH-PSRAM-01 include shortest possible trace length for maximum speed, low inductance, low capacitance, blind and buried via, rigid-flex PCB design technology. This adapter is designed to interface with Fine pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) packages.

Ironwood’s LA-BGA88D-FLASH-PSRAM-01 Logic Analyzer Adapter consists of two parts. The surface mount foot is soldered to the target system board in place of BGA, 0.8mm pitch IC using standard BGA soldering methods. The probe board plugs into the SMT base and employs a PCB with power planes to deliver all data, address, control, and clock signals to Mictor connectors. The 64 MBit FLASH memory with PSRAM chip is surface mounted on to the male BGA adapter which will plug into the female BGA socket soldered to the probe board. Typical IC used with this adapter is the ST Microelectronics flash memory M36W0R6040T1ZAQF.

The LA-BGA88D-FLASH-PSRAM-01 adapter , with a lead-time of 5 days. The component parts are also available individually. For more information on this product please contact:
