  • Patent number: 6963265
    Abstract: A ball grid array resistor network that has a ground plane to reduce noise and improve signal integrity. The ball grid array resistor network includes a substrate having a first and a second surface and vias that extending through the substrate between the first and second surfaces. Resistors are located on the first surface between the vias. Conductors are located over the vias and are electrically connected to ends of the resistors. A cover coat covers the conductors and resistors. A ground plane is located on the second surface. An insulating layer is located over the ground plane. Ball pads are located over the vias. The ball pads are electrically connected to the vias. Solder spheres are attached to the ball pads.

  • Patent number: 6897761
    Abstract: A ball grid array resistor network has a planar substrate formed of an organic material. The substrate preferably is a printed circuit board. The substrate has a top and bottom surface. A ball pad is located on the bottom surface. A low temperature resistor is located on the bottom surface and is connected to the ball pad. A solder mask is located over the first surface except for the ball pads. A conductive ball is attached to the ball pad. A reflowed solder paste connects the conductive ball to the ball pad. Several embodiments of the invention are shown.
