Can anyone explain to me what a Chipscale package is and how they fit in with BGAs?
I have has two different explainations in the last 24hrs, and cannot find any concrete evidence about which one to trust.
Many thanks,
SteveO.
What is a chipscale package?

BGA is sometimes described as a 'chip scale package'. The term is often used for a package with contacts along the edges. There seem to be two different meanings for it.

The simplest explanation is a package about the same size as the chip. In some cases, this can be the actual chip, with maybe an extra passivation layer at the bottom, and solder balls directly on this, with little else as packaging.
