7.2 Via Channel
The ZCE package has been specially engineered with Via Channel™ technology. This allows larger than
normal PCB via and trace sizes and reduced PCB signal layers to be used in a PCB design with the 0.65-
mm pitch package, and substantially reduces PCB costs. It allows PCB routing in only two signal layers
(four layers total) due to the increased layer efficiency of the Via Channel™ BGA technology.
Via Channel™ technology implemented on the ZCE package makes it possible to build an AM335x-based
product with a 4-layer PCB, but a 4-layer PCB may not meet system performance goals. Therefore,
system performance using a 4-layer PCB design must be evaluated during product design.
7.3 Packaging Information
