Hello forum,
I have a device with some memory chips whose communication I want to intercept and manipulate:
- 2x SDRAM: TSOP54 with 0.8mm pin spacing
- NAND: TSOP48 with 0.5mm pin spacing
Picture is attached.
Some things I've thought of:
- Removing the ICs and re-attaching them to a custom PCM using individual wires is a non-starter because of pitch and pin count
- I couldn't find any TSOP interposer PCBs that can be plugged into a regular TSOP 48/54 footprint
- I couldn't find any flex PCBs that have a TSOP footprint on one side and a row of pins on the other but to me, this seems to be the most sensible approach
- Edge-connector PCBs like

Do you have any thoughts or additional ideas on how I can achieve this?
As a last resort, I could also access the ICs using the address/data buses by using a TSOP "hat" and keeping the attached CPU in reset while hoping that it floats the GPIOs. However, I don't know if it actually does this, so I'm not too keen on trying this out and killing the CPU GPIOs in the process.
