Abstract:
A mechanism for continuously referencing signals over multiple layers in laminate packages provides a continuous path for signals from one layer to another while using the ideal voltage reference for all areas of the package and still avoiding discontinuities in the voltage reference. A reference plane adjustment engine analyzes a package design and identifies an ideal top plane for all areas of the package, including areas under particular chip die(s) and areas that are not under a chip die. The reference plane adjustment engine then modifies the package design to reposition ground planes, source voltage planes, signal planes, and vias between layers to maintain a continuous voltage reference regardless of the top layer. The reference plane adjustment engine provides the resulting mixed voltage plane package design to a design analysis engine. A package fabrication system fabricates the package.

Disclosed is a heat dissipating substrate, which includes a metal plate, an insulating film formed on the surface of the metal plate, a circuit pattern formed on the insulating film, and a first via formed to pass through at least a part of the metal plate so that the metal plate and the circuit pattern are electrically connected to each other, and also which exhibits superior heat dissipation effects and enables the configuration of a circuit board to be simple due to no need to additionally provide a ground layer and a power layer.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board (PCB) is disclosed. The PCB includes a dielectric layer, a power layer, a ground layer, and an electromagnetic interference reducing layer. The dielectric layer includes a central portion and a periphery portion surrounding the central portion. The dielectric layer defines a number of via holes through the periphery portion. The ground layer is adhered to a surface of the dielectric layer, covering both the central portion and the periphery portion. The power layer and the EMI reducing layer are separately adhered to another surface of the dielectric layer facing away from the conductive ground layer. The conductive power layer covers the central portion. The EMI reducing layer substantially covers the periphery portion and is electrically connected to the ground layer via the via holes.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board includes a first layer including a first power portion and a first ground portion isolated from each other, and a second layer including a second power portion and a second ground portion isolated from each other. The second layer is spaced from the first layer. The second ground portion is arranged below the first power portion. The second power portion is arranged below the first ground portion. One portion of the first power portion overlaps one portion of the second power portion, and one portion of the first ground portion overlaps one portion of the second ground portion to provide a zero-intensity electric field between the first layer and the second layer. The first power portion is coupled to the second power portion via a first via. The first ground portion is coupled to the second ground portion via a second via.

Abstract:
For electrical backplanes and the like, a power plane adaptation to improve the propagation of high-speed signals through clearances in an embedded power plane is disclosed. In exemplary embodiments, the power plane is segmented in a high-speed connector region, such that a portion of the metal layer that forms the power plane is retained in the high-speed connector region—but isolated from the power-delivery portion of the power plane. The isolated portion is connected to digital ground, and clearances are formed therein where high-speed signaling throughholes will pass through the region. In some embodiments, various attainable advantages include better manufacturability, better matching and control of high-speed signaling throughhole impedance, and improved noise isolation. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
