The PBGA Package also dissipates heat through

peripheral ground balls. When a heat sink is

placed on the device, heat is more uniformely

spread throughout the moulding increasing heat

dissipation through the peripheral ground balls.

The more via pads are connected to each ground

ball, the more heat is dissipated . The only limita-

tion is the risk of lossing routing channels.

Figure 6-5 shows a routing with a good trade off

between thermal dissipation and number of rout-

ing channels.
