Abstract

A printed circuit board or card includes a pair of ball grid array packages connected one over the other on opposite sides of the board or card. The packages may connect through feed-through vias so that board space on the underside of the board, populated by feed-through vias, can be utilized to provide additional functionality. In one implementation, GTL resistive terminations and decoupling capacitors may be included in the ball grid array package on the underside of the board or card.
