<strong>Performance</strong> – Ground Via Proximity<br />

• The Variations in Bandwidth are Caused by the<br />

Distance <strong>of</strong> each Signal Via to the Nearest Ground Via<br />

• Placing Ground Vias Close to each Critical Signal Via<br />

Significantly Improves <strong>Performance</strong><br />

• Critical for All Signals > 100 MHz<br />

• Example:<br />

– 0.250” PCB<br />

– 0.187” Via Length<br />
