APPARATUSES INCLUDING BALL GRID ARRAYS AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18652515 titled 'APPARATUSES INCLUDING BALL GRID ARRAYS AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS
The patent application describes systems that may include a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), or a field programmable gate array (FPGA), or any combination thereof. At least one memory device is connected to the CPU, GPU, or FPGA, with the memory device(s) including a device substrate with a microelectronic device and bond pads coupled with an active surface of the device substrate. A package substrate is secured to the device substrate to route signals to and from the bond pads, with a ball grid array supported on the package substrate. Each ball of the ball grid array is positioned and configured to carry a high-bandwidth data signal or a high-frequency clock signal, located only diagonally adjacent to other balls carrying a different signal.
- Systems may include a CPU, GPU, or FPGA, with at least one memory device connected.

Original Abstract Submitted
Systems may include a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), or a field programmable gate array (FPGA), or any combination thereof. At least one memory device may be connected to the CPU, the GPU, or the FPGA. The memory device(s) may include a device substrate including a microelectronic device and bond pads coupled with an active surface of the device substrate. A package substrate may be secured to the device substrate, the package substrate configured to route signals to and from the bond pads. A ball grid array may be supported on the package substrate. Each ball of the ball grid array positioned and configured to carry one of a high-bandwidth data signal or a high-frequency clock signal may be located only diagonally adjacent to any other balls of the ball grid array configured to carry another of a high-bandwidth data signal or a high-frequency clock signal.
