Abstract:
A radial solder ball pattern is described for a printed circuit board and for a chip to be attached to the printed circuit board is described. In one example, the pattern comprises a central power connector area having a plurality of power connectors to provide power to an attached chip, a signal area having a plurality of signal connectors to communicate signals to the attached chip, an edge area surrounding the signal area and the central power connector area, and a plurality of traces each coupled to a signal connector, the traces extending from the respective coupled signal connector away from the central power connector to connect to an external component, wherein the signal connectors are placed in rows, the rows having a greater separation near the edge area than near the central area.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n laying out a first row of signal connectors to communicate signals to an attached chip in a signal area of a printed circuit board between a central power connector area, having a plurality of power connectors to provide power to an attached chip, and an edge area surrounding the signal area and the central power connector area, the first row extending along a straight line in the signal area from the central power connector area to the edge area; laying out a plurality of traces, each coupled to a signal connector of the first row, the traces extending from the respective coupled signal connector away from the central power connector to connect to an external component; and laying out a second row of signal connectors, the second row having a greater separation from the first row near the edge area than near the central area.
