Revision: 1.0.0 CUSTOMER ADVISORY ADV1301 ADDITIONAL DIMPLES ON PBGA PACKAGE TOP SURFACE Change Description Altera(R) announces a minor change to the form of Cyclone(R) V products offered in U672 and F1152 (PBGA) packages. Effective immediately, the top surface of the packages may carry additional dimples. The dimples (0.1mm maximum depth) are merely a visual characteristic, and sourcing of material with dimples facilitates manufacturing volume optimization between qualified suppliers. Thermal impedance (theta ja and theta jc) values, package warpage characteristics and heat sink mounting procedures should remain unchanged. Note, there is no impact anticipated or changes required to customers' pick and place equipment or processes. In the representative image in figure 1, the white arrows indicate the location of the dimples. Figure 1. Representative image of additional dimples on package top surface Recommended Action No action is recommended as a result of this change. Reason for Change Altera is implementing this change to facilitate a multi-source supply chain model. This strengthens supply-chain risk-mitigation by establishing the capability to produce equivalent product from multiple qualified locations.
