    How to solder this chip with small pins below ?

    BGA equipment The sniper is easy to use/easy to learn. Pricey if you're only doing a few chips and not justifiable. We needed it for ic development, so it was a necessity. We also managed to use ours for a makeshift temp test station. OK industries also makes bga soldering equipment but I...

    Which is best program for schematics and PCB

    My favorite combination I have used Orcad for schematic capture and PowerPCB for layout almost exclusively. I did not like Powerlogic (Powerpcb's schematic caputre). The only problem with Orcad (schematic) and Powerpcb (layout) is not a smooth back annotation. Changing the schematic and...
