Abstract:
A motherboard includes a circuit board, a first chip and a second chip disposed on the circuit board. Four securing holes are defined in the circuit board around the first chip, for mounting a heat dissipating module on the first chip. Two of the securing holes determine a first line, and the other two securing holes determine a second line parallel to the first line. A center of the second chip is located along a centerline between the first and second lines. Should the circuit board suffer from an impact, damage to the chips may be effectively minimized or prevented.
Abstract:
A method and system for efficiently self-aligning parts of a MEMS during manufacturing, as well as controlling distance between these parts, are disclosed. According to the invention each MEMS part comprises at least one pad that is aligned so as to form a pair of pads. In a preferred embodiment, each part comprises three pads. The pad shape of two pairs of pads is rectangular, one pair being rotated of an angle approximately equal to 90° from the other, and the pad shape of the third pair is annular. Therefore, one of the pair of pads allows alignment according to a first direction, a second pair of pads allows alignment according to a second direction, and the third pair of pads allows rotational alignment.
Abstract:
A circuit board has a plurality of pads arranged as a grid array in a quadrangle region. A surface mount type circuit component is connected to the circuit board through the pads. Each of pads arranged in the outermost side of the quadrangle region is formed in a substantially quadrangle shape in plan view.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to permanent interconnections between electronic devices, such as integrated circuit packages, chips, wafers and printed circuit boards or substrates, or similar electronic devices. More particularly it relates to high-density electronic devices.The invention describes means and methods that can be used to counteract the undesirable effects of thermal cycling, shock and vibrations and severe environment conditions in general.For leaded devices, the leads are oriented to face the thermal center of the devices and the system they interact with.For leadless devices, the mounting elements are treated or prepared to control the migration of solder along the length of the elements, to ensure that those elements retain their desired flexibility.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit product, for bidirectional communication, has two inputs and two outputs. The first input is located on a first edge of the integrated circuit product. The first output is located on a second edge of the integrated circuit product, the second edge being located adjacent to the first edge. The second input is located on a third edge of the integrated circuit product, the third edge being opposite the first edge. The second output is located on a fourth edge of the integrated circuit product, the fourth edge being opposite the second edge. The integrated circuit product can be mounted diagonally in a transceiver module, allowing straight signals paths from the inputs and outputs of the integrated circuit product to the corresponding inputs and outputs of the transceiver module. The inputs and outputs of the integrated circuit product can be located in the respective centre regions of their respective edges, so that connection pads of the integrated circuit within the integrated circuit product can be connected to the package landings of the integrated circuit product by means of the shortest available bond wires.
Abstract:
A component, equipped for rotational insertion into a circuit module, has at least one contact electrically coupled to a first terminus of a connecting wire. The connection wire has a second terminus electrically coupled to a counter-contact on the circuit module. The contact has an annular extension in the circumferential direction which encloses the counter-contact even when a radial center line of the contact area angular extension lies outside the counter-contact angular extension. The contact may be ring-segment shaped or ring shaped. Numerous contacts may be arranged at different radial distances from the component's axis of rotation.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to circuit boards with radially arrayed components. One specific embodiment is a memory circuit board with memory components, such as, for example, DRAM chips, radially arrayed around a central point. The present invention also relates to stacking and connecting multiple circuit boards with radially arrayed components. Another embodiment of the invention involves methods of preparing radially arrayed components on a circuit board module with substantially equidistant paths to the components.
Abstract:
Enlarged spacing is provided between rows of vias in a ball grid array (BGA) multilayered printed wiring board land pattern in which the lands in the pattern are connected to the vias by a link connector by rotating, elongating, and/or truncating selected consecutive link connectors and rotating their respective corresponding vias in a row or column or selected consecutive rows or columns to achieve the enlarged spacing between rows or columns of vias in the BGA land pattern. Enhanced spacing between selected grid columns or rows of vias is provided such that some of the grid pitches for the vias are equal to that of the standard BGA and at least some are of a greater grid pitch.
Abstract:
A printed wiring board mounted with a BGA package including pads, through holes and leads. The leads are linearly formed with almost the same width as the diameter of each of the pads and through holes and thus have high bonding strength against their peeling against an external force. The pads are provided at an angle of approximately 45 degrees outwardly relative to the through holes and along almost in the direction of application of thermal stress, and thus have high durability against their peeling due to an external force.
