Abstract:
1. A circuit board comprising: a mounting pad for being coupled to a capacitor; at least three holes for receiving conductive material to provide at least three vias; the at least three holes being arranged in a pattern to reduce mounting inductance; at least three breakout traces, each of the at least three breakout traces directly coupling a corresponding one of the at least three vias to the mounting pad, wherein two or more of the at least three breakout traces are coupled to corners of the mounting pad and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees; and the conductive material of the at least three holes being coupled to the mounting pad at least three discrete locations, wherein the at least three breakout traces and the at least three holes are not located under the capacitor when the capacitor is mounted to the circuit board.
