14 results about "Land grid array" patented technology

The land grid array (LGA) is a type of surface-mount packaging for integrated circuits (ICs) that is notable for having the pins on the socket (when a socket is used) rather than the integrated circuit. An LGA can be electrically connected to a printed circuit board (PCB) either by the use of a socket or by soldering directly to the board.

Double side molded land grid array package platform using a substrate with copper posts

DSM-LGA using substrates with different surface finish options include copper posts for electrical communication. The copper posts include a height-to-width ratio that cannot be achieved in traditional copper posts, as well as a taper ratio that forms a more rectangular cross section as opposed to traditional copper posts. Additionally, by using copper, the copper posts include a relatively high thermal conductivity (as compared to solder), thus allowing the copper posts to dissipate thermal energy generated by integrated circuits and other processors. Copper posts can take the form of a single, cylindrical post. Alternatively, copper posts can be merged to form a variety of copper structures used for various applications, including I / O, grounding / isolation, and substrate support.

Method to multi-source PD controllers for USB4 solutions and systems

A novel method and interface are provided to generalize power delivery (PD) solutions and allow OEMs and suppliers to easily replace PD solutions using the same design and layout without having to re-spin the motherboard. This is achieved by defining a new interface and ball-out which support dual port PD solution that meet the system requirements. The embodiments employ an interposer to unify different PD solutions. The interposer is part of a unique Land Grid Array (LGA) soldered down solution with pre-defined interface employing a generic pinout to support PD solutions for dual type-C ports from different vendors. The interposer includes an LGA having a pattern of pads that is coupled to a LGA on a platform PCB with a matching pattern.

Land grid array (LGA) socket pins and housings

Land grid array (LGA) sockets with low-profile housings and stamped cylindrical pins are disclosed. Each pin includes a top contact portion, a bottom contact portion, and a serpentine spring portion that compresses along the vertical axis. In some embodiments, a bent electrically conductive strip provides a shorter electrical path to support high-speed data transmission. In other embodiments, the pin comprises a stub that contacts a pin hole plating layer to provide a shorter electrical path. The pins may be formed from beryllium copper and plated with palladium-gold. The socket housing, formed from printed circuit board laminate layers, defines cavities that receive and constrain the pins to limit movement and prevent damage. Localized ground and power structures, including plated-through holes and shielding vias, reduce crosstalk. The low-profile socket designs enhance signal and power integrity while enabling cost-effective manufacturability through progressive stamping and laminate-based assembly.
