BGA in PCB

[Ingo Cyliax]

has anyone used PCB to layout boards with BGA footprints ? I would
like to mount a fine pitch (0.8mm) BGA packagae and before I go off
building footprints, I though I would check to if anyone had done
this and what there experiences were.

see ya, -ingo

If you are referring to the Linux-based, open-source program "PCB",
you might want to post your query to the gEDA-user list:

http://archives.seul.org/geda/user/

Lots of folks there have used PCB for this kind of work, and would be
well positioned to help you.

(I'd help you myself, but haven't used PCB to do BGA stuff.)

If you are not referring to the open-source program, then please
ignore my post!

I'm using the freely available program PCB by Nau/Eaton. I'm
primarily interested in whether someone has already some BGA
footprints for it. More broadly, I'm also curious if someone
has done assembly of BGA with PCB based boards.

Greetings,

www.pad2pad.com offers the following services:
+ Custom/prototype PCB's made to order (Yawn <g&gt
+ Free software for PCB design (Humm... <g&gt
+ Assembly of PCBs they make (!!!)

If you're worried about soldering a BGA, perhaps you might want to
out-source the work?

N.B. I have observed the growth of www.emachineshop.com and
www.pad2pad.com (different branches of the same company) with great
interest. This is my only connection with the/either concern. The
above was for your information; it was NOT a recommendation!!!

Cordially,
Richard Kanarek
