[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, any other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0040] It should be noted that, in the description of the present application, the terms “comprise”, “contain” or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, article or device. The terms “first”, “second” and the like in the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0041] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0042] The embodiments of the present application provide an interface circuit module, which is described in detail in combination with the components of the interface circuit module.
[0043] The professional terms appearing in the present application are explained as follows:
[0044] Pad group: In the field of circuit board design, a pad group refers to a collection of metal contact points on a circuit board used to connect external components or circuits. The pads are usually made of copper or other conductive materials, and the surface may be plated with tin, silver or gold, etc. to enhance its conductivity and prevent oxidation.
[0045] Electrical Connection: Electrical Connection refers to the electrical path established between two or more circuit elements through conductors to achieve functions such as signal transmission, power supply, or data exchange. In the design and manufacturing of circuit boards, electrical connections are achieved through materials such as metal pads, vias, wires, and solder, ensuring that electronic components can effectively communicate and work as intended.
[0046] Via: Via is an indispensable component in multi-layer circuit board design, which is a kind of vertical metalized hole through different layers of circuit board to establish electrical connection between layers. Via can be divided into several types, including Through-Hole Via, Blind Via and Buried Via. Through-Hole Via is the most common type, which penetrates through all layers of the circuit board, used to connect the top and bottom layers of the circuit board, or as a point of insertion for components. Blind Via only connects the surface layer or inner layer to the nearest inner layer, while Buried Via is completely located between the inner layers of the circuit board without direct contact with the surface layer, mainly used in high-density and high-speed circuit design to reduce the length of signal path and improve the wiring efficiency of the circuit board.
[0047] Ground Via: Ground Via is a special type of via, mainly used for ground return or signal shielding in circuit board design. On the circuit board, Ground Via can connect the ground plane or ground layer with other layers on the circuit board, forming a low-impedance ground path. They are crucial for maintaining the stability of the circuit, reducing noise, and improving signal integrity. Ground Via is often distributed around signal vias or critical signal lines, forming a "ground wall" or "ground cage" to effectively isolate signal lines and avoid electromagnetic interference and crosstalk between signals.
[0048] Equal Length Matching: Equal Length Matching is mainly used to ensure that the propagation time of signals on multiple transmission paths is the same, to avoid synchronization problems caused by differences in signal arrival time, especially in parallel data transmission systems. The purpose of equal length matching is to control the physical length of signal lines and thus control the delay time of signals to achieve consistency, which is particularly critical in high-speed signal processing, computer bus, memory interface, network communication, etc.

These ground holes not only can effectively absorb and shield the electromagnetic field generated by high-speed signal transmission to prevent interference with the adjacent signal lines, but also can build a low-impedance path to guide the electromagnetic energy around the signal line to dissipate quickly to the ground plane, greatly reducing the probability of occurrence of near-end crosstalk and far-end crosstalk, thereby optimizing the signal quality of the entire circuit module.
[0080] As an optional implementation, the third distance between the target second ground hole and the reference first via hole is equal to the first distance, wherein the first distance is the distance between the two first via holes included in the first via hole pair, the target second ground hole is each ground hole of the four second ground holes, and the reference first via hole is the via hole in the first via hole pair closest to the target second ground hole.
[0081] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, as described above, in order to ensure that the impedance between the via hole and the ground hole also remains at the required value described above, it is necessary to limit the distance between the second ground hole and the directly adjacent first via hole belonging to the same input signal hole group to be equal to the distance between the two first via holes in the input signal hole group.
[0082] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of an interface circuit module according to the embodiments of the present application Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 The first distance can be but is not limited to the distance between the two via hole points representing the two first via holes in the first via hole pair, the third distance can be but is not limited to the distance between the ground hole point representing the target second ground hole and the via hole point representing the reference first via hole, and the third distance can be but is not limited to equal to the first distance. It should be noted that for the ground holes and via holes in the same interface circuit module, the ground hole points and via hole points representing the ground holes and via holes can be but are not limited to determined by the same rule, for example, as shown in Figure 8As shown, the center point of each ground hole or via hole can be but is not limited to a ground hole point or a via hole point representing the respective ground hole or via hole.
[0083] As an optional implementation, the input signal hole group includes a second via hole pair, wherein the distance from the multiple groups of input signal hole groups to the connector pad group is the same, the first included angle between the line connecting the two second via holes included in the second via hole pair and the first vertical direction of the connector pad group is greater than or equal to 0° and less than 90°.
[0084] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, each of the multiple groups of input signal hole groups can but is not limited to include a pair of second via hole pairs.

It should be noted that for the input signal hole groups in the same interface circuit module, the signal points representing the input signal hole groups can but are not limited to be determined according to the same rule. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of an interface circuit module according to an embodiment of the present application Figure 9 The leftmost point of the via hole on one side (such as the left side) of each group of input signal hole groups can be but is not limited to regarded as the signal point representing the input signal hole group, and the first edge of the connector pad group can be but is not limited to regarded as the pad line representing the connector pad group, wherein the first edge can but is not limited to refer to the boundary line of the connector pad group facing the input signal hole group, which can be understood as the starting point or reference line of the signal input path, as shown in Figure 9 As shown, the distance from each group of input signal hole groups to the connector pad group is the same, i.e. D1=D2=...=Dn.
[0087] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 9As shown, the line connecting two second vias in a second via pair included in the input signal via group can, but is not limited to, have an angle R1 with the first vertical direction of the connector pad group, where 0° ≤ R1 < 90°.

Figure 10 .like Figure 10 As shown, the tilting directions of the two second vias in each input signal via pair included in each group of input signal vias on an interface circuit module may, but are not limited to, be different. However, the angle between the line connecting the two second vias in each input signal via pair and the first vertical direction is greater than or equal to 0° and less than 90°. Furthermore, according to... Figure 10 Setting the second via pair as shown will ensure that only two pairs of adjacent vias are in the same direction, resulting in less crosstalk compared to having more than two pairs of adjacent vias in the same direction.
[0089] By placing the two second ground holes on the first side of the connector pad group at an angle rather than parallel to the connector pad group, the lateral space on the first side of the connector pad group can be saved, which is beneficial for the inner layer wiring.

The other two third ground holes are located on two sides of the extension line of the connecting line, which not only provides an additional ground path for the signal line, but also uniformly disperses electromagnetic energy, reduces the strength of the local electromagnetic field, thereby reducing the overall electromagnetic interference level and optimizing the electromagnetic compatibility of the transmission signal.

[0103] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the distance between the vias is 31.5 mil, and the differential signal vias (i.e. the second via pair) are arranged at an angle of 15°, which is larger than the distance between the two pairs of vias arranged in parallel.
[0104] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, since the third ground hole is arranged on the extension line of the connection line of the two second via holes included in the second via hole pair, in order to avoid the influence of the arrangement position of the third ground hole closer to the connector pad group on the wiring of the connector pad group and other inner layer wirings, the aforementioned first included angle can only be 15° at the minimum, i.e., the first included angle is greater than or equal to 15°.
[0105] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, since the third ground hole is arranged on the extension line of the connection line of the two second via holes included in the second via hole pair, in order to avoid the input signal hole group occupying too much horizontal space, i.e., to avoid the influence of the arrangement of the third ground hole on the outer side (relative to the second via hole pair) on other inner layer wirings, the aforementioned first included angle can only be 22.5° at the maximum, i.e., the first included angle is less than or equal to 15°.

The target distance range is used to control the signal integrity of the signals transmitted by the reference third via pair and the other trace.
[0117] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, more specifically, when the second region is provided with the reference third via pair, the distance between the projection of the other trace on the plane where the reference third via pair is located and the two reference third vias included in the reference third via pair falls within a target distance range. Through such a setting, the mutual influence between the reference third via and the other trace can be controlled within an acceptable range, and the signal integrity of the signals transmitted by the reference third via pair and the other trace can be ensured.

[0122] As an optional implementation, the target hole group in the plurality of output signal hole groups further comprises two fourth ground holes, and the reference hole group in the plurality of output signal hole groups further comprises four fifth ground holes; wherein the two fourth ground holes are located between a straight line where two third vias in the third via pair in the target hole group are located and a straight line where two first capacitors in the first capacitor pair in the target hole group are located; wherein two fifth ground holes in the four fifth ground holes are located between the first straight line where two third vias in the third via pair in the reference hole group are located and the second straight line where two first capacitors in the first capacitor pair in the reference hole group are located, and the two fifth ground holes and the other two fifth ground holes in the four fifth ground holes are located on two sides of the first straight line.
[0123] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 15 is a schematic diagram of an interface circuit module according to the embodiments of the present application Figure 10 Four. As Figure 15 shown, the target hole group in the output signal hole group can but not limited to further comprise two fourth ground holes, and the two fourth ground holes can but not limited to be located between a straight line where a third via pair in the target hole group is located and a straight line where a first capacitor pair in the target hole group is located.
[0124] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, as Figure 15 shown, the reference hole group in the output signal hole group can but not limited to further comprise four fifth ground holes, and the four fifth ground holes can but not limited to be arranged around a third via pair in the reference hole group. Specifically, two fifth ground holes in the four fifth ground holes can but not limited to be located between a first straight line where a third via pair in the reference hole group is located and a second straight line where a first capacitor pair in the reference hole group is located, and the other two fifth ground holes in the four fifth ground holes and the two fifth ground holes can but not limited to be arranged on two sides of the first straight line respectively.
[0125] By the above arrangement, two fourth ground holes are added in the target hole group, and four fifth ground holes are added in the reference hole group, especially at the positions between the via pairs and the capacitor pairs, a more compact electromagnetic shielding environment can be formed. The layout of the ground holes increases the density of the shielding layer around the signal lines, greatly reduces the electromagnetic coupling between the signal lines, thereby reducing crosstalk and ensuring the integrity and stability of the signals. In addition, various ground hole arrangement schemes for the output signal hole group are also provided in the present application. The selection of which ground hole arrangement scheme can be comprehensively measured according to the board area of the interface circuit module and the requirement for signal integrity, for example, but not limited to, in the case where the board area is relatively sufficient (there can be no other traces in the current area) and the requirement for the integrity of the signals transmitted by the output signal hole group is relatively high (the signal crosstalk can be below a threshold value), the scheme of setting four fifth ground holes can be selected; but not limited to, in the case where the board area is not very sufficient (there can be other traces in the current area) and the requirement for the integrity of the signals transmitted by the output signal hole group is not very high (the signal crosstalk can be above a threshold value), the scheme of setting two fourth ground holes can be selected.
[0126] As an optional implementation, the seventh distance between the target fourth ground hole and the reference third via is equal to the eighth distance, wherein the eighth distance is the distance between the two third vias included in the third via pair in the target hole group, the target fourth ground hole is each ground hole of the two fourth ground holes, and the reference third via is the via in the third via pair included in the target hole group that is closest to the target fourth ground hole; the ninth distance between the target fifth ground hole and the target third via is equal to the tenth distance, wherein the tenth distance is the distance between the two third vias included in the third via pair in the reference hole group, the target fifth ground hole is each ground hole of the four fifth ground holes, and the target third via is the via in the third via pair included in the reference hole group that is closest to the target fifth ground hole.
[0127] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, in order to ensure that the impedance between the via and the ground hole and the impedance between the vias remain at the same fixed value, it is necessary to limit the distance between the fourth ground hole belonging to the same target hole group and the third via in the target hole group that is closest to the fourth ground hole to be equal to the distance between the two third vias in the target hole group. Figure 16 is a schematic diagram of an interface circuit module according to an embodiment of the present application Figure 10 Five. As Figure 16 shown, the eighth distance can be but is not limited to the distance between the two via points of the two third vias in the third via pair included in the target hole group, the seventh distance can be but is not limited to the distance between the ground hole point of the target fourth ground hole and the via point of the reference third via, and the seventh distance can be but is not limited to equal to the eighth distance.
[0128] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, in order to ensure that the impedance between the via and the ground hole and the impedance between the via and the via remain at the same selected value, it is necessary to limit the distance between the fifth ground hole belonging to the same reference hole group and the third via closest to the fifth ground hole in the reference hole group to be equal to the distance between the two third vias in the reference hole group. Figure 17 is a schematic diagram of an interface circuit module according to an embodiment of the present application Figure 10 Six. As shown in Figure 17 , the tenth distance can be but is not limited to the distance between the two via points representing the two third vias in the third via pair included in the reference hole group, and the ninth distance can be but is not limited to the distance between the ground hole point representing the target fifth ground hole and the via point representing the target third via, and the ninth distance can be but is not limited to equal to the tenth distance.
[0129] As an optional implementation, the output signal hole group includes: a fourth via pair and a second capacitor pair; wherein the connection line between the two second capacitors included in the second capacitor pair is perpendicular to the connector pad group, and the distance from the second capacitor pair included in the multiple sets of output signal hole groups to the connector pad group is the same.
[0130] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 18 is a schematic diagram of an interface circuit module according to an embodiment of the present application Figure 10 Seven. As shown in Figure 18 , the output signal hole group can but is not limited to include a fourth via pair and a second capacitor pair, and the connection line between the two second capacitors included in the second capacitor pair is perpendicular to the second side of the connector pad group. In addition, it should be noted that the distance from the second capacitor pair included in the multiple sets of output signal hole groups to the connector pad group can but is not limited to include that the distance between the multiple capacitor points representing the second capacitor pairs included in the multiple sets of output signal hole groups and the pad line representing the connector pad group is the same, as shown in Figure 18 , that is, F1=F2=F3=F4=F5.
[0131] From the above, since the distance from all second capacitor pairs to the connector pad group is the same, this helps to ensure the consistency of signal delay when passing through the capacitor pair. In high-speed circuits, even small differences in signal delay can cause signal integrity problems such as timing errors and data misreading. By controlling the distance from the capacitor pair to the pad group, the delay difference can be reduced, and the synchronization and reliability of signal transmission can be improved. In addition, the connection line of the second capacitor pair is perpendicular to the connector pad group, which helps to reduce the coupling effect between the capacitor pairs. When the capacitor pairs are arranged in parallel, the coupling between them will cause the signal quality to decline. Vertical arrangement can reduce this coupling effect, reduce the interference between signals, and improve the purity of the signal.
[0132] As an optional implementation, distances from the second capacitor pairs included in the plurality of output signal hole groups to the connector pad groups are all greater than or equal to 120 mils.
[0133] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, it is required to limit the distances from the second capacitor pairs to the connector pad groups to be greater than a certain value, for example, greater than or equal to 120 mils, which helps to ensure the reliability of the capacitor welding and avoid causing the reliability problem of the capacitor welding.
[0134] As an optional implementation, the lines between the fourth via pairs included in the plurality of output signal hole groups are all perpendicular to the connector pad groups, and the fourth via pairs included in the plurality of output signal hole groups are all arranged on the same side of the second capacitor pairs in the output signal hole groups.
[0135] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 19 is Figure 18 a partial enlargement Figure 1 . As shown in Figure 19 , the lines between the fourth via pairs included in the plurality of output signal hole groups can but are not limited to also be perpendicular to the second side of the connector pad groups. By arranging the fourth via pairs perpendicularly, the transverse space of the second side of the connector pad groups occupied by the fourth via pairs can be effectively reduced, which is beneficial to the inner layer wiring. In addition, the fourth via pairs included in the plurality of output signal hole groups can but are not limited to be all arranged on the same side of the second capacitor pairs, for example, as shown in Figure 19 , that is, all arranged on the right side of the second capacitor pairs. By such a design, the fourth ground hole pairs are added between the two pairs of second capacitor pairs, which can reduce the capacitor coupling.
[0136] As an optional implementation, the output signal hole group further includes four sixth ground holes, wherein two of the four sixth ground holes are located between a third straight line where two fourth vias included in the fourth via pair are located and a fourth straight line where two second capacitors included in the second capacitor pair are located, and the two sixth ground holes are located on two sides of the third straight line.
[0137] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 18 , the output signal hole group can but is not limited to further include four sixth ground holes, and the four sixth ground holes can but are not limited to be arranged around the fourth via pair included in the output signal hole group.
[0138] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 19As shown, the specific arrangement of the four sixth vias can include, but is not limited to, that two of the four sixth vias are located between the third straight line and the fourth straight line, and the other two of the four sixth vias are located on the side of the third straight line that is not provided with the two sixth vias.
[0139] Through the above, the two sixth vias are placed between the fourth via pair and the second capacitor pair, which can form an effective electromagnetic shielding wall, which strengthens the isolation between the signal line and the surrounding elements, reduces the coupling and interference between different signal paths, and especially reduces the signal crosstalk between the capacitor pair and the via pair, and improves the purity and integrity of the signal.
[0140] As an optional implementation, the eleventh distance between the target sixth via and the reference fourth via is equal to the twelfth distance, where the twelfth distance is the distance between the two fourth vias included in the fourth via pair, and the target sixth via is each of the four sixth vias, and the reference fourth via is the via in the fourth via pair that is closest to the target sixth via.
[0141] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, similar to the foregoing, the distances between the pairs of fourth vias on the interface circuit module can be, but are not limited to, the same, in order to ensure that the impedance between the vias is kept at a known value. Further, in order to ensure that the impedance between the vias and the ground vias is also kept at the known value, it is necessary to limit the distance between the sixth via in the same output signal hole group and the closest fourth via to be equal to the distance between the two fourth vias in the output signal hole group.
[0142] As an optional implementation, the twelfth distance is 31.5 mil, and the thirteenth distance is 24 mil, where the thirteenth distance is the distance between the candidate sixth via and the reference sixth via, the candidate sixth via is each of the two sixth vias, and the reference sixth via is the via in the other two sixth vias that is closest to the candidate sixth via.
[0143] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, as described above, in general circuit board design, it can be, but is not limited to, necessary to determine the impedance between the vias and the impedance between the vias and the ground vias to be 85 ohms. In order to achieve the determination of the impedance between the vias and the ground vias to be 85 ohms, it can be, but is not limited to, necessary to determine the twelfth distance to be 31.5 mil, and the corresponding eleventh distance is also 31.5 mil.
[0144] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, on the basis of limiting the eleventh distance and the twelfth distance to be 31.5 mil, it can be, but is not limited to, necessary to limit the thirteenth distance between the two adjacent ground vias in the same output signal hole group to be 24 mil.
[0145] As an optional embodiment, the line between two sixth ground holes is perpendicular to the connector pad group, and the line between the other two sixth ground holes is perpendicular to the connector pad group.
[0146] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 20 Figure 18 is a partial enlargement of Figure 2 As shown in Figure 20 , the aforementioned line between two sixth ground holes can but not limited to also be perpendicular to the (second side of the) connector pad group, and the aforementioned line between the other two sixth ground holes can but not limited to also be perpendicular to the (second side of the) connector pad group.
[0147] Through the above, the sixth ground hole perpendicular to the connector pad group is arranged, forming a more effective signal isolation band, which can significantly reduce the crosstalk between the signal lines. And the arrangement of the sixth ground hole perpendicular to the connector pad group also saves the transverse space of the second side of the connector pad group, which is beneficial to the inner layer wire.
[0148] As an optional embodiment, the target trace width of the target trace segment is greater than the reference trace width of the reference trace segment, and in the first trace and / or the second trace, the target impedance of the target trace segment is greater than the reference impedance of the reference trace segment when the trace width of the trace is the reference trace width, the first trace is the trace between the input signal hole group and the connector pad group, and the second trace is the trace between the output signal hole group and the connector pad group.
[0149] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, after the via pair is arranged in the aforementioned manner that is not parallel to the connector pad group, in order to equal-length matching, a "bulge" form needs to be adopted, but such a bulge form will inevitably cause impedance discontinuity. In this case, the aforementioned manner can but not limited to be adopted to resist the adverse effects of the bulge on the impedance.
[0150] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the target trace segment can but not limited to refer to the trace segment that occurs "bulge", and the reference trace segment can but not limited to refer to the trace segment that does not occur "bulge". According to formula 1: , formula 2: , formula 3: , (wherein L represents the inductance per unit length, C represents the capacitance per unit length, is the dielectric constant, A is the area of the capacitor plate, and d is the vertical distance between the two plates, is the magnetic permeability, N is the number of turns of the coil per unit length, B is the magnetic induction, and l is the length of the coil. As can be seen, when the "bump" appears, the capacitance distance d becomes larger, and other parameters remain unchanged, which will result in a smaller capacitance C and a larger impedance Z. Impedance discontinuity will cause reflection, and reflection will cause signal fluctuation. The reflection coefficient formula is: =Vr / Vi=(Z2-Z1) / (Z2+Z1) (where the reflection coefficient represents the ratio of the reflected signal voltage Vr to the incident signal voltage Vi when the signal reaches the impedance discontinuity point, Z2 represents the target impedance, and Z1 represents the reference impedance), and according to the reflection coefficient formula, the larger the impedance difference, the larger the reflection coefficient, which represents the poorer the signal quality. Further, according to formulas 1, 2, and 3, if the capacitance area A becomes larger and other parameters remain unchanged, the capacitance C will become larger, and the impedance Z will naturally become smaller, which can neutralize the impedance increase caused by the increase in d, and thus impedance matching can be achieved. Figure 21 is a schematic diagram of a method for resisting the influence of a bump according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 21 , for the "bump", the relevant trace (conductive path) can be widened, but is not limited to this. By widening the trace, the capacitance area can be increased.
[0151] As an optional implementation, the target trace width is determined according to the target capacitance area and the target distance, the target capacitance area is determined according to the target trace distance, the reference trace distance, the reference trace width, and the target distance, and the target distance is the distance between the starting point of the target trace segment and the ending point of the target trace segment.
[0152] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, according to the aforementioned formulas 1, 2, and 3, to achieve the best effect, it is best to make the adjusted impedance of the target trace segment equal to the reference impedance of the reference trace segment, that is, A (target) / A (reference) =d (target) (i.e., the trace distance of the target trace segment) / d (reference) (i.e., the trace distance of the reference trace segment), that is:
[0153] ,
[0154] And A (reference) =f(s (i.e., the target distance), w (reference) (i.e., the reference trace width)), A (target) =f(s, w (target) (i.e., the target trace width)), then the target trace width can be determined according to the target capacitance area A (target) and s and the f function, and further the target capacitance area A (target) can be determined according to the trace distance d (target) of the target trace segment, the trace distance d (reference) of the reference trace segment, the reference trace width w (reference), s, and the aforementioned f function.
[0155] Through the above, the target trace width is calculated by the target capacitance area and the target distance, and the determination of the target capacitance area involves the trace distance of the target trace segment, the trace distance of the reference trace segment, the reference trace width, and the target distance. This calculation method ensures that in the "bump" area, although the signal path length increases, resulting in increased impedance, the increase in impedance can be effectively offset by increasing the capacitance area by adjusting the target trace width, thereby achieving the continuity of impedance.
[0156] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, for any pair of via pairs, if the via in the via pair interferes with the inner layer high-speed line trace, the via should be pulled out to make space for the high-speed line, but 6 ground holes are needed to surround the differential signal hole. Figure 22 is a schematic diagram of a via pair according to an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 22 shown, 6 ground holes can be but are not limited to being arranged around each pair of via pairs to surround the differential signal via.
[0157] As an optional implementation, the input signal hole group includes: a fifth via pair, the output signal hole group includes: a sixth via pair; the distance between the vias inside the adjacent fifth via pair is greater than or equal to 160 mil; and / or, the distance between the vias inside the adjacent sixth via pair is greater than or equal to 160 mil.
