    Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting transient voltage at an electrical component of a circuit board is provided. The apparatus including a circuit including a comparator and a latch, wherein a first input of the comparator is electrically coupled to the electrical component, and the comparator receives a threshold voltage at a second input, where the comparator outputs either a high signal or a low signal in response to both the first input and the second input, and an output of the comparator is electrically coupled to an input of the latch such that the latch outputs a high signal in response to receiving a high signal from the comparator, and an indicator electrically coupled to an output of the latch, and where the apparatus is mounted non-permanently to the circuit board to provide a non-permanent electrical coupling between the comparator and the electrical component.

    Abstract: One aspect is a method that includes identifying a substantially uniform distribution of signal vias for a multi-layer circuit board based on a design file defining a layout that includes via groups in a two-to-one signal-to-ground via ratio configuration. A signal via pitch is determined as a center-to-center distance between a neighboring pair of signal vias. The signal via pitch is compared to a target minimum drilling distance. A ground via is identified proximate the neighboring pair of the signal vias. Based determining that the signal via pitch of the neighboring pair is less than the target minimum drilling distance, at least one of the signal vias is positioned closer to the ground via such that after the positioning, the signal via pitch of the neighboring pair meets or exceeds the target minimum drilling distance. The design file is modified to include the positioning of the signal vias.

    Abstract: One aspect includes identifying via groups that each includes a ratio of a plurality of signal vias to one ground via based on a design file defining a layout of a multi-layer circuit board. A genetic via placement solver iteratively evaluates potential placement solutions that adjust a placement of one or more of the signal vias until at least one solution is identified that meets one or more placement criteria of the signal vias. The genetic via placement solver performs a mutation and recombination of one or more solutions that do not meet the one or more placement criteria and re-evaluates the one or more solutions that do not meet the one or more placement criteria. The design file is modified to include at least one shifted signal via position based on identifying the at least one solution that meets the one or more placement criteria.
