Abstract:
A DC bus for use in a power module has a positive DC conductor bus plate parallel with a negative DC conductor bus plate. One or more positive leads are connected to the positive bus and are connectable to a positive terminal of a power source. One or more negative leads are connected to the negative bus and are connectable to a negative terminal of a power source. The DC bus has one or more positive connections fastenable from the positive bus to the high side of a power module. The DC bus also has one or more negative connections fastenable from the negative bus to the low side of the power module. The positive bus and negative bus permit counter-flow of currents, thereby canceling magnetic fields and their associated inductances, and the positive and negative bus are connectable to the center portion of a power module.

The layout structure of the preferred embodiment according to the present invention from up to down sequentially places a top signal layer, a grounded layer, a power layer having a grounded potential, and a bottom solder layer in the area where the signals of the CPU are coupled to the signals of the control chip, so that the signals that are placed on the bottom solder layer can refer to a grounded potential area of the power layer.

Abstract:
A method and implementing computer system are provided in which de-coupling capacitors are used at driver and receiver sources, and defined gaps are created separating power and ground areas on a voltage reference plane of a circuit board. Short-circuit via connections are also provided through one or more vias between spatially separated circuit board layers. Each driver or receiver module includes the driver or receiver along with an associated gap, capacitor and via connections to VDD and ground planes, all included within a defined proximity to effectively block switching energy and/or VDD noise from entering the tri-plate ground-to-ground reference system. In a related exemplary construction, signal lines are placed at predetermined positions between ground planes to provide a tri-plate circuit board structure for transmitting logic signals from a driver to one or more receivers.
