1 Package Redesign Details

Explanation

The devices in the MicroStar BGA™ packaging were redesigned using a laminate nfBGA package. This nfBGA package offers datasheet-equivalent electrical performance. It is also footprint equivalent to the MicroStar BGA. For more details, please refer to this nfBGA Packaging Application Report.

When referencing the device data sheet, use the new package designator in place of the discontiued package designator throughout the document.

The orderable addendum at the end of the device data sheet will reflect the new package designator.

See the following page or the end of the device data sheet for the updated nfBGA package drawing.

These devices have now been converted to an nfBGA package.
