Can I bring up the issue of the bigger devices in PQ208 packages again? Even so the PQ208 has not the maximum of IO pins available, and for fast I/O intense applications simultanious switching problems may be more visible, PQ208 has heavy advantages for prototyping and so may lead to more design wins:
- relaxed PCB design rules for lower cost prototype boards
- heavily relaxed solder requirements and post-solder control requirements
- accessability of all pins for (scope) debugging.
B.t.w.: the design win may not lead to high demand on the PQ parts itself, as for mass manufacturing BGA package advantage may apply and the package may be switched.
Otherwise congratulations to the new family member!
Cheers
