Pin Grid Array. A large chip carrier package which can have 28 pins or more (typically based on a grid of 0.100-inches) protruding from one flat surface, for through-hole connection to a printed circuit board. Usually made from plastic or ceramic. The chip die can be placed opposite the pins (cavity up), or can be nested in the grid array (cavity down)
An interconnection system for getting electrical signals into and out of a large integrated circuit, such as a microprocessor.
Pad Grid Array. A packaging technology in which a device's external connections are arranged as an array of conducting pads on the base of the package.
Short for pin grid array, a type of chip in which the connecting pins are located on the bottom in concentric squares. PGA chips are particularly good for chips that have many pins, such as modern microprocessors.
This is a form of chip with a group of pins in concentric rectangles, designed to fit into a PGA slot.
in rid rray; Pad Grid Array. Pin-grid arrays are square chips in which the pins are arranged in concentric squares.
Pin Grid Array. Similar to a pin grid array. An IC package that has solderable connections in a grid layout on the bottom of the package, and is soldered to the surface of the substrate (PWB) with butt solder joints.
Pin grid array; A package type suitable for high pin-count requirements, it has pins .100 inch apart on 10x10 through 17x17 matrices brazed perpendicular to the die cavity.
Pin Grid Array. This is a form of packaged IC with a group of through-hole pins in arranged in concentric rectangles.
Pin Grid Array - an style of integrated circuit package with an array of pins of pins designed to be inserted into a socket on a printed circuit board. PGAs support very high pin counts and account for approximately 1% of package types shipped on a unit shipment basis. The use of PGAs is declining.
pin grid array. A feaure of a CPU socket whereby the pins are aligned in uniform rows around the socket.
Abbreviation for pin grid array, a type of microprocessor socket that allows you to remove the microprocessor chip.
Pin Grid Array. A type of socket for a Central Processing Unit. The PGA Socket has all its pins lined up in even rows, as opposed to the SPGA Socket which has its rows staggered.
Pin grid array. A type of processor socket that allows you to remove the processor chip.
Pin Grid Array, the method in which the CPU uses to interact with the CPU socket. [image
