Dr. Warren,

     I once worked for Hitachi in America/Japan for many years and have
     been faced with translating many Janglish documents.  By no means from
     Japanese to English and vice versa, but once in English I helped the
     translators use the appropriate wording for the specific technology.

     Again, depending on the end application, the meaning could have a
     multiude of definitions.  For your request:

     a. I am assuming they are making reference to high pin PBGA, Multi-I/O
        BGA.

     b. Another would be MCM PBGA (Multichip Module PBGA).  MCMs are used
        extensively with BGAs.  Also try MCM-L PBGA (Multichip Module
        Laminate FBGA).

     Hope this helps.

Another question from your friendly neighborhood Japanese translator.

Buildings with many stories are called "high-rise buildings." What are PBGAs
with a large number of layers called?

I am looking for the word you engineers use for something beyond merely
"multilayer PBGA," but something like a "many-layer PBGA" or a
"high-layer-count PBGA."

A web search for the word you folks use has not been useful.

If there are any Japanese folks in the crowd, the word I am trying to
translate is "Kou ta sou PBGA" (High-Many-Layer PBGA).

Thanks in advance!

Warren
