Using Via Arrays in your design provides the following advantages:

  • Mitigates Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
  • Controls Crosstalk
  • Suppresses Resonance
  • Improves Power Integrity

Types of Arrays in Allegro PCB Designer

Boundary Arrays

  • Single-Sided – Adds an array along one side of one or more selected objects
  • Both Sides – Adds an array on both sides of one or more selected objects
  • Centered – Adds an array centered on one or more selected objects
  • Between – Adds an array between all selected objects that are parallel to each other
  • Surrounding – Adds an array surrounding the selected objects
  • Radial – Adds a circular pattern of vias or structures around one or more selected objects

Matrix Arrays

  • Across Board – A matrix of vias or structures is added filling the board outline
  • Across Shape – Matrices are added filling one or more selected shapes
  • Across Windowed Area – A matrix of vias or structures is added to a windowed area
