Abstract:
A signal-segregating connector for use in a system having a printed circuit board, a first electrical structure and a second electrical structure. The connector includes a first set of conductive elements to convey signals between the first electrical structure and the printed circuit board, and a second set of conductive elements to convey signals between the first electrical structure and the second electrical structure.
Abstract:
Disclosed are stair stepped PCB structures which provide high performance, direct path, via-less interconnections between various elements of an electronic interconnection structure including, among others, IC packages and connectors.
Abstract:
An IC package having multiple surfaces for interconnection with interconnection elements making connections from the IC chip to the I/O terminations of the package assembly which reside on more than one of its surfaces and which make interconnections to other devices or assemblies that are spatially separated.
Abstract:
The dielectric constant and loss tangent of a signal transmission structure is lowered by locating discrete conductors (CDn) used for signal transmission between two shields (130, 140) so as to form cavities (ON, OP) between the discrete conductors and each of the shields. Each cavity is filled with any of a number and/or combination of dielectric supports (110, 120) and/or dielectric materials, including air. The discrete conductors are formed across the cavities so that any exposed surfaces of the discrete conductors are in contact with the dielectric material of the respective cavity.
Abstract:
A cost effective, high performance, IC package assembly of the present invention comprises stair-stepped layers of redistribution circuits from at least one chip to terminals on any of multiple surfaces and levels of the IC package assembly. Critical path circuits of the assembly have no plated vias and are directly routed from interconnection terminals which are used to interconnect the package to the IC chip terminals by flip chip or wire bond methods.
Abstract:
An assembly for conducting an electronic signal. The assembly includes a substrate and an electronic cable. The substrate has distinct first and second regions to enable connection to first and second circuit boards, respectively. First and second through-holes are formed in the substrate in the first and second regions, respectively. The electronic cable is disposed within the first through-hole and extends out of the first through hole, adjacent the substrate and into the second through-hole.
Abstract:
A direct-connect signaling system (200) including a printed circuit board (205) and first (201A) and second (201B) integrated circuit packages disposed on the printed circuit board. A plurality of electric signal conductors (203) extend between the first and the second integrated circuit packages suspended above the printed circuit board.
