EEssential Weekly Notes #3

Backdrilling

Backdrilling is a PCB design technique to remove stub from a through-hole.  It is to reduce reflection from the stub for the high-speed signals (>5Gb/s).  Blind vias and buried vias can achieve the same effect for vias, but at a increased manufacturing cost.  But backdrilling is especially useful for backplane connectors, but  seems only applicable for press-fit connectors.
