Ok . . .
I consider myself to be above average in data mining, but I need you GRF chip experts help with this one.
I have a Cisco 6500 Network Switch (circa 1999) that I have been slowly depopulating. The processors found on its boards have me stumped. They are:
1 ea. Pinnacle 06K0596 PQ processor - white ceramic shield between the chip and BGA balls.
1 ea. Pinnacle 09K5063 PQ processor - lavender ceramic shield between the chip and BGA balls.
1 ea. Cafe2 09K4130 PQ processor - white ceramic shield between the chip and BGA balls.
1 ea. Centauri 06K0017 PQ processor - white ceramic shield between the chip and BGA balls.
1 ea. Titan 29L7370 PQ processor - white ceramic shield between the chip and BGA balls.
They all have their chips embedded atop of a white and lavender ceramic heat shield that I assume is a sintered Be0 powder. I can not find anything online regarding their composition. The only thing that keeps popping up about them is how secretive Cisco is about their chips.
Has anyone ever tried to process these type of Cisco BGA chips? If yes, care to share your insights into how to process them without turning the BeO into powder and your yield if any?
Many thanks!
