13 PCB Design

When designing the land pad layout for FC/FCG and CG/CGG packages, it is recommended to have the dimensions as listed in the following table.

The following figure shows the RT PolarFire® SoC package land pad layout for both single trace breakout and dual trace breakout.

Note: The package layout drawings and dimensions are provided for non-solder mask defined BGA pads which are recommended for the devices.

It is not recommended to have a single land pad layout to accommodate both FC/FCG and CG/CGG packages. While a single land pad array might be used for prototyping, each package configuration must have their own land pad layout to ensure optimized board level system reliability. Plastic flip-chip BGA packages and ceramic column grid packages must not have the same layout for flight modules.
