Trace Shape Routing at the BGA Void Area (Tear Drop Configuration)

Impedance matching from the signal via pad to signal trace is an essential element for high speed interfaces. To avoid substantial discontinuity, Intel recommends using the following trace configuration for better transition (see the area highlighted in red).
