Abstract
A land pattern for 1 mm and 0.8 mm pitch arrays has been disclosed for placing two port devices. The land pattern includes a ball grid array (BGA) of BGA pads each connected to a respective through hole via, and a pair of rectangular conductive pads electrically connected to a an adjacent pair of through hole vias, wherein each rectangular pad extends out from its via towards the other via of the pair along a line connecting the centers of said adjacent pair vias. A solder mask is located on the rectangular pad side and has apertures over each rectangular conductive pad. The land pattern is particularly useful for locating two port devices directly underneath a BGA device while minimizing the distance from a BGA ball to the two port device lead.
