Narrow-body SOIC is JEDEC MS-012: a 3.90 mm body, a 6.00 mm nominal lead span and a 1.75 mm height limit. Wide-body SOIC is MS-013:

Every FPGA is a ball grid array, and the joint under that array is where an FPGA board succeeds or fails. A modern high-end FPGA

FPGA designs push printed circuit board fabrication harder than almost any other class of digital hardware. A single large FPGA can bring hundreds of high-speed

Assembling an FPGA board is not the same job as populating a simple sensor PCB. The centrepiece is a large, expensive, fine-pitch ball grid array

A re-spin of a simple board costs you a few days and a few dollars. A re-spin of an FPGA board costs weeks and a

On most FPGA boards, the FPGA is the most expensive line item, the longest lead time, and the biggest counterfeit risk, all at once. High-end
