  • Via placement for BGA power pins

    If a BGA chip has several pins in a row all connected to the same power net, is it recommended to provide a via to each of them, or is it ok for two or three power pins to share the same via?

    It depends how much space you have available. If you have plenty of space, use a separate via for each pin. Otherwise it's normally alright to combine 2/3 pins. Also it depends on how much current they carry and how much noise tolerant they are. With a low current and less sensitive rail you can safely combine more pads.

      I always start with one VIA per Power / GND pin. If there is no space I reduce it to two PADs sharing one VIA. I try almost never share three pads on the same side of PCB with one VIA.
