Abstract:
A printed circuit board is built including metal traces for a differential clock. Within a break in each metal trace pads for a delay line socket are included along with pads for two 0-ohm resistors in series. In between the two 0-ohm resistors metal traces are build in a configuration to provide a specified delay in a signal passing through the trace. This group of pads and traces allows a designer to test (on the completed printed circuit board) differential clocks in modes including negative skew. In normal operation, the 0-ohm resistors are present on the printed circuit board and the clock signals pass through the metal traces build in a configuration to provide a specified delay in the signals passing through the traces. During testing, delay lines may be placed in the delay line sockets and the 0-ohm resistors may be removed. When 0 ns delay lines are placed in the sockets, the clock delays are negatively skewed from normal delay since the clock signals no longer pass through the long metal traces between the 0-ohm resistors.

A technique for accommodating electronic components on a multilayer signal routing device is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a multilayer signal routing device comprising a primary surface and a secondary surface. The primary surface may have a plurality of electrically conductive pads formed thereon, wherein a group of the plurality of electrically conductive pads is in respective electrical connection with a group of electrically conductive micro-vias formed in the multilayer signal routing device. The secondary surface may have a channel formed thereon coinciding with the location of the group of electrically conductive micro-vias, wherein the channel has a channel area on the secondary surface for accommodating an electronic component mounted on the secondary surface.
