[0002] USB2.0's simple and fast connection, no need for external power supply and good compatibility are the main reasons why USB2.0 storage drives have continued to exist. In particular, compatibility allows them to be widely used on various devices, reducing the difficulty of developing compatibility for application devices.

[0003] USB 2.0 controller chips initially used QFP 48P (Quad Flat Package) packaging. However, due to cost optimization and miniaturization requirements, TSSOP 28P (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) and QFN 32P (Quad Flat No-lead Package) were gradually adopted.

[0004] Currently, these two packages have the following advantages and disadvantages:

[0005] The advantages of TSSOP28P are simple packaging process, low cost, and high soldering yield. The disadvantages are the use of alloy lead frame, poor signal quality, easy deformation of pins, and large size.

[0034] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the BGA packaging structure for the USB2.0 controller chip described in the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the principle of connecting the BGA substrate 1 and the USB connector 3.

The BGA substrate 1 includes 32 groups of pins, which are evenly arranged in an 8*4 array on the bottom of the BGA substrate 1. The BGA substrate 1 includes four groups of CE pins (i.e., CE0, CE1, CE2, and CE3), so that more flash memory chips can be supported to increase capacity.

[0035] Figure 3 This is the distribution diagram of each pin on the BGA substrate 1. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The reference distribution diagram of the serial numbers corresponding to the pins on the BGA substrate 1 is combined with Figure 3-4 As shown, among the 32 groups of pins of the BGA substrate 1, pin 1 is defined as WE, pin 2 is defined as LED, pin 3 is defined as GND, pin 4 is defined as DP, pin 5 is defined as DM, pin 6 is defined as GND, pin 7 is defined as VCCF, pin 8 is defined as VBUS, pin 9 is defined as DQS, pin 10 is defined as CE0, pin 11 is defined as CE1, pin 12 is defined as GND, pin 13 is defined as GND, pin 14 is defined as RB, pin 15 is defined as VBUS, pin 16 is defined as VCCIO, pin 17 is defined as CLE, pin 18 is defined as D0, pin 19 is defined as D2, pin 20 is defined as WP, pin 21 is defined as D4, pin 22 is defined as D6, pin 23 is defined as CE3, pin 24 is defined as VCCIO, pin 25 is defined as ALE, pin 26 is defined as D1, pin 27 is defined as D3, pin 28 is defined as RD\RE, pin 29 is defined as D5, pin 30 is defined as D7, pin 31 is defined as CE2, and pin 32 is defined as VCCF.

[0036] In this embodiment of the present invention, pins 4 (DP) and 5 (DM) are the data lines of the USB 2.0 controller chip 22, centered near the main interface of the USB connector 3 to facilitate wiring design. Pin 4 connects to the first filter capacitor 16, and pin 5 connects to the second filter capacitor 17.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, pin 8 and pin 15 are electrically connected, and pin 15 is connected to a fourth filter capacitor 19; pin 8 and pin 15 are VBUS, serving as the main power supply. To facilitate the wiring design of the application end, pin 8 is close to the power supply end (DC5V) of the USB2.0 connector.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present invention, the pin 16 and the pin 24 are connected to the sixth filter capacitor 21 .

[0041] In the embodiment of the present invention, the pin 32 is connected to the fifth filter capacitor 20 .

[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to save application design space and reduce the number of external capacitors used, the BGA substrate 1 can also be equipped with multiple built-in filter capacitors.

[0046] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, the pins 1-32 of the BGA substrate 1 are only used to illustrate the location of each pin and the corresponding pin function definition. According to actual application requirements, in other implementations, the serial number or name corresponding to each pin can also be adaptively adjusted.

[0048] 1. The BGA substrate 1 includes 32 groups of pins, which are evenly arranged in an 8*4 array at the bottom of the BGA substrate 1. The layout is compact and saves space.

[0049] 2. The BGA substrate 1 includes four sets of CE pins, thereby supporting more flash memory chips to increase capacity;

[0050] 3. The built-in filter capacitor further reduces the layout area;

[0051] 4. Pins on the BGA substrate 1 that require external filter capacitors or are connected to the USB connector 3, such as pin 4, pin 5, pin 6, pin 7, pin 8, pin 16, pin 24, pin 32, etc., are all arranged on the outermost side of the pin array to facilitate wiring;

[0052] 5. Pins such as D0-D7, DQS, RD / RE, CLE, ALE, CE, and RB are staggered in order and can be directly wired on the same layer, reducing the probability of via layer switching and avoiding parasitic inductance and capacitance of vias, which may cause interference in the wiring of key signals.

However, it is understood that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, structures, and techniques are not shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this description.

Rather, as reflected in the claims, the invention aspects lie in less than all of the features of the individual embodiments previously disclosed. Accordingly, the claims that follow the detailed description are hereby expressly incorporated into this detailed description, with each claim standing on its own as a separate embodiment of the invention.

[0055] It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments illustrate rather than limit the invention and that those skilled in the art will be able to design alternative embodiments without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
