PBGA (Plastic Ball Grid Array)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PBGA uses an organic substrate with a wire-bonded die and plastic encapsulation. Typical ball pitch ranges from <strong>1.27 mm to 0.65 mm<\/strong>, with ball counts commonly between <strong>100 and 900 I\/Os<\/strong>. It is the most widely adopted BGA package in high-volume electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Low cost and mature supply chain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compatible with standard SMT processes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Good balance of performance and manufacturability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. CBGA (Ceramic Ball Grid Array)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBGA is built on a multilayer ceramic substrate, offering higher thermal conductivity than organic materials. Ball pitch is usually <strong>1.27 mm or larger<\/strong>, and package sizes often exceed <strong>20 \u00d7 20 mm<\/strong>.
