BGA inspection difficult for U12

[gregdavill]

Issue

U12 is a 1.6mm x 1.6mm WLCSP with a 3x3 BGA array underneath. If assembly houses want to make use of x-ray inspection it may be difficult, because there is a large power inductor L8 directly opposed, which casts a large shadow.

This may be a non-issue, but just something I stumbled across when inspecting my board after assembly.

Thanks, good point. I should be able to move U12 down enough to make it visible. I really don't like anything about that huge inductor or where it is.
