Introduction
RTAX-S/L is next generation, designed-for-space, metal-to-metal antifuse field programmable gate array
(FPGA) family by Microsemi. RTAX-S/L is a derivative of the Axcelerator
®
family with up to two million-
system gates. RTAX-S/L FPGAs provide the designer with nearly 500K ASIC gates, with error detection
and correction (EDAC) protected static RAM. Microsemi offers RTAX-S/L devices in two package styles:
the ceramic column grid array (CCGA or CG) and ceramic quad flat pack (CQFP or CQ).
Microsemi has developed prototyping methods for RTAX-S/L devices in CG/CQ packages, using the
ceramic land grid array (CLGA) package as a prototyping vehicle with the CQ to LG and CG to LG
adapter sockets. This document describes the procedure for assembling the CQ to LG adapter socket.
CQ to LG Adapter Socket
The CQ to LG adapter socket has an LG configuration on the top and a CQ configuration on the bottom.
The adapter socket enables customers to use an LG package during prototyping, and then switch to an
equivalent CQFP package for production. There is one CQ to LG adapter socket available. The top and
bottom ordering part numbers are listed in
Table 1.

Figure 1
shows the complete CQ352 to LG1272 assembly kit. SK-RT4K-KITTOP contains an interposer
(3), a socket lid (4), and eight screws (5). SK-RT4K-CQ352-KITBTM contains a ceramic adapter (1),
which is an unique adapter for RTAX4000S/SL, socket housing (2), and eight screws (5).

CQ to LG Adapter Socket Assembly Procedure
CQ to LG Adapter Socket Assembly Procedure
Step 1
Trim and form the CQ ceramic adapter.
Note:
Do not reflow the adapter to the circuit board until the housing has been attached, as detailed in
Step 2
below.

Step 2
Assemble socket housing to adapter. A torque limit screw driver is not required (Figure
4).

Assemble Socket Housing to CQ352 to LG1272 Adapter
Note:
The housing, eight screws, and ceramic adapter form the –KITBTM assembly.

Step 3
Reflow the adapter to the printed circuit board (PCB) as shown in (Figure
5).
Note:
Since reflow profiles heavily depend upon the size of the board and its components, perform reflow
process optimization for better results.

Step 4
Place the socket interposer into the adapter (Figure
6).

Step 5
Place the LG1272 package into the adapter (Figure
7).

Step 6
Place and tighten the socket lid to the socket housing with the remaining eight screws (Figure
8).
A
torque limit screw diver is not required.
