What is PGA(Pin Grid Array)?

PGA(Pin Grid Array)

• PGA is used in 5th Genration processors.

• PGA is rectangular or square in shape mount in PCB(Printed circut Board).The pins are usually 2.54 mm apart (0.1") and can cover the whole underneath of the package.

• PGA has large width Data Bus as compare to DIP(Dual inline Package).

• PGA starts with Intel 80286 microprocessors.

• PGA is in Plastic Packageing layout with organic plate.

What is PGA(Pin Grid Array)

• The biggest advantage is the number of pin are maximum as compare to DIP so that the more connection are established.

• PGA is less reliable due to number of maximum pin makes limitation on electrical capabilities.

• PGA is cheaper then other Grid.

• Depending on the size and complexity of the IC, the array may form a number of parallel rows of pins on two opposite sides of the package or around all 4 sides.
