A device receives void configuration information that identifies a set of rules for generating void information based on printed circuit board (PCB) design information, and receives, based on receiving the void configuration information, the PCB design information that identifies via information of a PCB. The device compares, based on receiving the PCB design information, the set of rules, associated with the void configuration information, and the via information associated with the PCB design information, and generates the void information based on comparing the set of rules, associated with the void configuration information, and the via information associated with the PCB design information. The void information includes a set of parameters associated with a set of voids to be included in the PCB. The device performs an action based on generating the void information.

Printed circuit board void information generation using parameter-based rule sets

In some examples, an electronic device includes a printed circuit board (PCB) device that includes a first trace electrically connected to a first pad of a first trace via on a first layer and a second trace electrically connected to a second pad of a second trace via on a second layer. In some examples, the PCB device also includes four ground pads on the first layer and an antipad surrounding the two trace vias, where a first ground pad is positioned between the first trace and the second trace, where the first ground pad and the second ground pad are approximately symmetrically positioned about a perpendicular bisector of a line from the first pad to the second pad, and wherein the third ground pad and the fourth ground pad are approximately symmetrically positioned about the perpendicular bisector of the line from the first pad to the second pad.
