ABSTRACT:
A circuit board may include hybrid via structures configured to connect to components, such as connectors and electronic components, mounted on the circuit board. A hybrid via structure may include one or more micro-vias configured to provide an electrical connection to a signal trace in the circuit board and one or more through-vias configured to provide a ground connection to at least one reference plane in the circuit board. In one embodiment, a plurality of circuit boards including the hybrid via structures and signal traces may be connected to establish a channel supporting differential signaling and data transfer rates of at least about 5 Gb/s. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
