Patent ID: 8610000

Claim:
A circuit board comprising: a substrate having upper and lower sides; first and second conductive vias extending between the upper and lower sides, the first and second conductive vias comprising circular outer profiles; and a differential pair of conductive traces including: a first conductive trace having first upper and lower segments disposed on the upper and lower sides, respectively, the first upper and lower segments being electrically connected together through the first conductive via, the first upper segment being curved around the second conductive via such that the first upper segment follows the circular outer profile of the second conductive via; and a second conductive trace having second upper and lower segments disposed on the upper and lower sides, respectively, the second upper and lower segments being electrically connected together through the second conductive via, the first upper segment crossing over the second lower segment, the second lower segment being curved around the first conductive via such that the second lower segment follows the circular outer profile of the first conductive via.
