CUSTOMER ADVISORY FineLine BGA Packages Altera is adding ASAT and ASE as additional sources of supply for the FineLine BGA packages currently assembled by ANAM in the Philippines and Korea. This change will affect the FineLine BGA package outline thickness*, which will result in a 2.10mm maximum package thickness. However, this change will not affect the moisture rating for these packages. These changes improve Altera's ability to support the increasing demand for the FineLine BGA packages. The assembly locations can be distinguished by the country of origin, which is marked on the topside of the device.
