Abstract:
A system for delivering power to a processor enables a DC-to-DC converter substrate to be secured to the processor carrier in the Z-axis direction. The ability to assemble the converter to the processor in this way facilitates assembly compared to systems in which the converter is plugged in to the processor carrier in the direction substantially parallel to the surface of the motherboard.
Abstract:
A DC bus for use in a power module has a positive DC conductor bus plate parallel with a negative DC conductor bus plate. One or more positive leads are connected to the positive bus and are connectable to a positive terminal of a power source. One or more negative leads are connected to the negative bus and are connectable to a negative terminal of a power source. The DC bus has one or more positive connections fastenable from the positive bus to the high side of a power module. The DC bus also has one or more negative connections fastenable from the negative bus to the low side of the power module. The positive bus and negative bus permit counter-flow of currents, thereby canceling magnetic fields and their associated inductances, and the positive and negative bus are connectable to the center portion of a power module.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for drastically reducing timing uncertainties in clocked digital circuits simply, at virtually no cost, and using only standard clock drivers and simple, inexpensive electrical components is described. The method includes the steps of minimizing timing uncertainties by controlling both clock skew and clock jitter. Intrinsic clock skew is eliminated by ganging the outputs of a multi-line clock together onto a capacitive metal island disposed on a printed circuit board (PCB). Extrinsic clock skew is controlled through the use of wide, relatively high-capacitance traces of matched length and disposed on a single, common signal layer of the PCB, each leading to a respective receiver circuit and terminated identically. Clock jitter is controlled by electrically isolating a region of the PCB, disposing the clock driver in the region in such a way as to minimize noise, and providing quiet local power and ground to the region.

Abstract:
A printed circuit board capable of suppressing radiation noise efficiently includes a first conductive layer where a plurality of power lines are provided at predetermined spacing along one direction, a second conductive layer where a plurality of power lines are provided at predetermined spacing along a direction orthogonal to the one direction, and a plurality of plated through holes for connecting the power lines on the first conductive layer and the power lines on the second conductive layer at the overlapping points of those lines. The power lines contain thin lines and thick lines spaced between a plurality of the thin lines. The predetermined spacing is determined based on a rising time or falling time of the output signal of the IC to be mounted on the circuit board.
