    Bermell it is possible to do via in pad ( as qdrives mentioned ). It has some advantages, as Steve.Picotest already mentioned, it is better way to connect decoupling capacitors and also sometimes it's done this way if there is no extra space for additional pads. However, it is more expensive, that is why it's not on many boards.

    As long as the via's are either:
    - Filled and capped
    - Solid copper fill

    See my EDICON paper on partial inductance this minimizes the mount portion if the inductance, making the capacitor much more effective at high frequencies (DDR, FPGA, etc)

    Decoupling capacitors placement

    Hello Robert,

    Firstly, thanks a lot for your excellent work all these years.

    My question is about a strange placement of decoupling capacitors that i have seen in the following video:

    In the capture attached, If you look at the decoupling capacitors, they are located exactly above the vias. And this happens for the memory chips (DDR4) and FPGA (Xilinx Ultrascale)

    What is your opinion about it? Is it possible to do this placement of the decoupling capacitors?

    Thank you very much in advance
