TopLine Exhibiting at NASA’s SEE/MAPLD Workshop
May 16, 2019 | TopLineEstimated reading time: 1 minute
TopLine will exhibit at NASA’s 2019 Single Event Effects (SEE) Symposium and Military and Aerospace Programmable Logic Devices (MAPLD) Workshop, to be held May 21-22 at the La Jolla Marriott. TopLine’s participation in the symposium is the first for the company, according to TopLine CEO Martin Hart.
“TopLine is excited to be exhibiting for the first time at SEE/MAPLD,” he said. “ We will be at this conference and workshop to meet with aerospace industry leaders to discuss and illustrate the benefits of our compliant solder columns for FPGA devices and other innovative TopLine solutions.”
TopLine’s CCGA Column Grid Array IC packages are made with non-collapsible solder columns for surface mount soldering on printed circuit boards (PCBs) and provide more compliancy than solder balls (Ball Grid Arrays or BGAs) to absorb stress and increase solder joint reliability under harsh operating conditions.

NASA combined the SEE Symposium and MAPLD in 2011 creating a dynamic event that attracts 200 attendees from the worldwide RadHard community. Attendees range from government agencies NASA, JPL, NRL, and others to prominent industry suppliers.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
