Package modification for channel-routed circuit boards

摘要

A method for implementing a circuit component (160) on a surface of a multilayer circuit board (110) is provided. The circuit component includes a plurality of pins (162,164,166,168,170,172,174,176) and the circuit board (110) includes a plurality of electrically conductive vias (142,148,150,152,156) penetrating at least one layer of the circuit board (110) and being arranged so as to form at least one channel for routing one or more traces at one or more signal layers of the circuit board (110). The method comprises the step of forming at least one pin (162,168A,170A,172,176A) of the plurality of pins (162,164,166,168,170,172,174,176) of the circuit component (160) to have a length compatible with a depth of a corresponding via (142,148,150,152,156) of the circuit board (110).
