Abstract:
A printed wiring board is provided which can be applied even to circuit boards operating at high speed, and which can suppress electromagnetic wave radiation, and which can suppress a deterioration in density of mounting. At the printed wiring board, a first signal wire layer, a first ground layer having a first power source wire, a second ground layer having a second power source wire, and a second signal wire layer, are laminated. The first ground layer and the second ground layer are interlayer connected by many via holes. Return current, of signal current flowing through a signal wire, flows in the first ground layer, and a path of the return current is cut midway therealong at a position of the first power source wire. However, the return current is detoured by the via hole to the second ground layer, and flows thereat.
Abstract:
A circuit board has a first signal layer having a set of conductors, a second signal layer having a conductive plane and a non-conductive region, and a third signal layer having a conductive region that mirrors the non-conductive region of the second signal layer. The circuit board further includes a first separating layer having non-conductive material which is disposed between the first signal layer and the second signal layer, and a second separating layer having non-conductive material which is disposed between the second signal layer and the third signal layer. Accordingly, traces within the first signal layer and overlying the conductive plane of the second signal layer will have a first impedance, while traces within the first signal layer and overlying the non-conductive region of the second signal layer and the conductive region of the third signal layer will have a second impedance that is different than the first impedance.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board includes a signal layer and a supply voltage plane layer. The signal layer includes traces to communicate signals that are not associated with regulated supply voltages. The supply voltage plane is embedded in the signal layer to supply power to multiple supply voltage pins of a component that is mounted to the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board may also include a supply voltage plane layer to communicate a supply voltage. A ground plane may be embedded in the supply voltage plane layer to provide ground connections to multiple pins of the component.

Abstract of the Disclosure Integrated circuits utilizing standard commercial packaging are arranged on a printed circuit board to allow the production of one-Gigabyte, two-Gigabyte, and four-Gigabyte capacity memory modules. A first row of integrated circuits is oriented in an opposite orientation to a second row of integrated circuits. The integrated circuits in the first row on a first lateral portion of the printed circuit board and in the second row on the first lateral portion are connected to a first addressing register with two register integrated circuits. The integrated circuits in the first row on the second lateral portion and in the second row on the second lateral portion are connected to a second addressing register with two register integrated circuits. Each addressing register processes a non-contiguous subset of the bits in each data word.
Abstract:
A multi-layered substrate having a voltage reference signal circuit layout therein. A major change in the design of the multi-layered substrate is the moving of a voltage reference signal trace from a signal layer to a non-signaling layer. Once the voltage reference signal trace is moved, the signal traces within the signal layer can have a larger layout area. Similarly, the voltage reference signal trace within the non-signaling layer can have greater layout flexibility in addition to electromagnetic shielding from other signal traces. Moreover, the voltage reference signal trace having a greater width may be used to reduce parasitic resistance within the voltage reference signal circuit.

A multilayer wiring substrate comprises differential signal wires placed within a first insulating layer between a first power-supply plane and a first ground plane; and general signal wires placed within a second insulating layer between a second power-supply plane and a second ground plane. In the multilayer wiring substrate, the differential signal wires are placed in a different plane from a plane having each of the general signal wires so that the different plane includes a first area having the differential signal wires, and a second area having one of the second power-supply plane and the second ground plane. The general signal wires are placed in a vertical direction of the second area in a laminated state so that each of the general signal wires is placed between the second power-supply plane and the second ground plane.
Abstract:
The present invention provides systems and methods for phase shifting signals wherein the phase shifting circuitry may be disposed in a relatively small footprint. The preferred embodiment utilizes PIN diodes to provide switched line phase shifting, wherein the switched lines are microstrip and/or stripline transmission lines of predetermined lengths. To minimize the space required, the switched lines of the preferred embodiment are disposed on different layers of a multi-layered support structure, such as a multi-layer circuit board. Layer changing vias are preferably adapted to provide a constant impedance to thereby make changes in layers in the transmission path electrically transparent to a transmitted signal.
