Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a circuit board module, the method comprising: obtaining a circuit board structure having (i) non-conductive material defining a top surface of the circuit board structure and a bottom surface of the circuit board structure, (ii) vias supported by the non-conductive material, (iii) top pads being disposed along the top surface of the circuit board structure, each top pad being electrically coupled to a corresponding one of the vias, and (iv) bottom pads being disposed along the bottom surface of the circuit board structure and being configured to solder to respective discrete components, each bottom pad being electrically coupled to a corresponding one of the vias, the bottom pads including a group of angled bottom pads; soldering a substantially rectangular integrated circuit device to the top pads; and soldering discrete components to respective ones of the bottom pads, a group of the discrete components being oriented at substantially 45 degree angles relative to a side of the integrated circuit device when the discrete components are soldered to the bottom pads.
