[hpsdr] Will the Angelia blank PC Board be available...?

[RW Mail List]

Hi Abhi,

Soldering a 780 pin FBGA.....Mmmm, that’s hard. I haven’t a clue what’s on the board, but would it be possible to purchase a Board with the 780 pin FBGA soldered on to it? Would you then be able to hand solder the rest of the components onto the board without messing everything?

Thanks for your help,

Roderick Wall, vk3yc.

Dear Roderick,

Angelia  uses a 780 pin FBGA chip, unless you have the assembly capability to mount this chip it would be near impossible to build the board,

During the proto run we noticed that the reflow oven profile had to match Altera's recommended profile within a 5% tolerance, also the FPGA chip is expensive at $340, I can send you a PCB if you still want to try your hand at assembling Angelia :),

73s,
Abhi
