Abstract
A contact pattern for an integrated circuit package. The package has a plurality of contacts that are soldered to corresponding pads of a printed circuit board. The contacts are arranged into a plurality of cell units. Each cell unit has a row of center contacts diagonally located between two rows of outer contacts. The diagonally located pins increase the density of the contact pattern. Each unit cell is separated by a space that allows routing traces to be routed therethrough. Routing traces may also be routed through the unit cells to increase the routing density of the package. The package provides a contact pattern that optimizes both the pin density and the routing traces.
