ADDITIONAL DIMPLES ON PBGA PACKAGE TOP
SURFACE
Change Description
Altera® announces a minor change to the form of Cyclone® 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.

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.
