Abstract:
It is described a printed circuit board (50). The board comprises a first outer layer (23), a second outer layer (20) and an integrated circuit (2) mounted on the second outer layer. The integrated circuit has a single exposed pad (1) electrically connected to a ground reference, it has a first supply pin (5) electrically connected to a first power supply (VCC1) and it has a second supply pin (105) electrically connected to a second power supply, wherein the first power supply is configured to generate a first supply current with frequency components higher than the frequency components of a second supply current generated by the second power supply. The board further comprises a first decoupling capacitor (3) mounted on the second outer layer in the proximity of the first supply pin (5), the first decoupling capacitor having a first terminal (8) electrically connected with the first supply pin (5) and having a second terminal (9), it comprises an inner layer (21) interposed between the first outer layer (23) and the second outer layer (20), the inner layer comprising a metal layer (4) electrically connected to said ground reference, it comprises a first Via (7-1) configured to electrically connect the exposed pad (1) with the metal layer (4) of the inner layer, it comprises a second Via (6) configured to electrically connect the second terminal (9) of the first decoupling capacitor with the metal layer (4) of the inner layer and it comprises a second decoupling capacitor (173) having a first pin (278) electrically connected to the second power supply and having a second pin (279) electrically connected to said ground reference.
