A printed circuit board (PCB) defines a first outer surface and a second outer surface that is opposite the first outer surface. The first outer surface of the PCB defines a recess. The PCB includes a signal layer between the first outer surface and the second surface with a first portion exposed within the recess and a second portion exposed within the recess. A component is disposed within the recess and connected to the first portion and the second portion of the signal layer such that an entirety of the component is within the recess and below the first surface.

Apparatus and methods for placement of discrete components on internal printed circuit board layers

A printed circuit board (PCB) includes a ball grid array (BGA). The PCB further includes a first BGA pad having a circular shape, and a first via having a circular shape, where the circular shape of the first via overlaps a portion of the circular shape of the first BGA pad and is rotated diagonally relative to a center of the first BGA pad. The PCB also includes a second BGA pad having a circular shape, and a second via having a circular shape, where the circular shape of the second via overlaps a portion of the circular shape of the second BGA pad and is rotated diagonally relative to a center of the second pad, and where a center of the second via is located at a first distance from the center of the first via and at a first angle relative to an axis that crosses a center of the first via.
