medium📝 Formula Result Q13 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand via types and layer connections
Through-hole vias connect all layers; buried vias connect inner layers only; blind vias connect outer to inner layers.Step 2: Match via type to connection need
To connect top and second layers only, a blind via is used because it does not go through the entire board.Final Answer:
Blind via -> Option BQuick Check:
Top to inner layer connection = Blind via [OK]
Quick Trick: Blind vias connect outer to inner layers only [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Choosing through-hole which connects all layers
- Confusing buried vias with blind vias
- Not knowing microvia specifics
