With the transition from the MicroStar BGA to nFBGA on select C2000 MCUs what are some resources I can use to understand how this change effects my system?
Mechanically there is no difference between the two package types. The new package thermal models will be added to the specific device datasheet but until then, please use the below as a reference to compare the different thermal properties of the two packages:
For further information on the nFBGA package please see the nFBGA Packaging Application Report.
For a list of C2000 OPNs that have migrated from Microstar BGA to nfBGA see [FAQ] Product Discontinuation Notice (PDN) PDN20201117001: Are there any differences between Microstar BGA and nFBGA packages?
