  • Pocketed circuit board
    Patent number: 9786977
    Abstract: An example circuit board structure includes: a substrate; and vias that are electrically conductive and that pass through the substrate to enable electrical connection through the circuit board structure. The substrate is thinner, and lengths of the vias are shorter, in first areas of the circuit board structure that deliver first speed signals than in second areas of the circuit board structure that deliver second speed signals and power. The first speed signals have a shorter rise time than the second speed signals.
    Type: Grant
