256-ball caBGA Breakout and Routing Examples

This BGA breakout and routing example places a MachXO PLD in a 14x14 mm, 0.8 mm pitch, 256-ball caBGA package (LCMXO2280-B256/BN256) into two fabrication scenarios. One for a 6-layer stack up with 100% I/O utilization and a 4-layer with 15% fewer I/Os. The 6-layer design (Example #1), demonstrates the best use of mechanically drilled blind vias to place caps near power pins to minimize layers.

Note: This is a sample design and is not intended to be used for any particular application. Before applying any technique, confirm that your PCB fabrication service will support the dimensions specified.
