Abstract:
A fan housing of a fan unit includes a housing wall standing from the surface of a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board serves to establish the fan housing in cooperation with the housing wall. The fan housing further includes a ceiling wall connected to the housing wall. The ceiling wall extends along a datum plane parallel to the surface of the printed circuit board. A high speed airflow can be generated within the fan housing. The airflow promotes the heat radiation from the printed circuit board. An electrically conductive wiring pattern extending over the surface of the printed circuit board may further promote the heat radiation from the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
A flexible printed circuit board includes a substrate layer composed of insulating material, a protection circuit of a thin-film capacitor element, the protection circuit including a first wiring layer on the substrate layer, a dielectric layer, and a counter electrode layer. At least a portion of each of the first wiring layer and the counter electrode layer serves as a terminal. The front surface of each of the first wiring layer and the counter electrode layer, except the terminal portion, is covered with an insulating coating.

Abstract:
A signal line, being in a six-layer board and connecting terminal 102 of component 101 with terminal 115 of component 114, requires tamper-resistance. The signal line is composed of foil 103 on an outside layer, a via 104, foil 111 on the third layer, via 105, foil 112 on the fourth layer, via 106, and foil 113 on the sixth layer. Portions of the signal line that exist on outside layers are all hidden under circuit components. Foil 103 and an end of via 104 are placed under component 101 on first layer 116, an end of via 105 is placed under component 107 on layer 116, an end of via 106 is placed under component 108 on layer 116, the other end of via 104 is placed under component 109 on sixth layer 121, the other end of via 105 is placed under component 110 on layer 121, and foil 113 and the other end of via 106 are placed under component 114 on layer 121.
Abstract:
A tape circuit substrate and semiconductor apparatus employing the same, and a method for forming a tape circuit substrate may reduce or eliminate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and provide a substrate or apparatus which can supply a more stable power supply voltage. The tape circuit substrate may include an insulation film and a wiring pattern formed on the insulation film to define an electronic device-mounting region and including a ground electrode. The tape circuit substrate may include a ground electrode pattern formed at the electronic device-mounting region so as to be insulated from the wiring pattern, except where the ground electrode pattern is connected to the ground electrode.
Abstract:
A data bus of a DVD+RW recorder between a DSP and a SDRAM usually needs a multilayer wiring board. In order to simplify the layout of the wiring board of the data bus there is provided a method for connecting at least a first and a second integrated circuit by providing the first integrated circuit having a plurality of first logical I/O ports physically arranged in a first order at the periphery, and providing the second integrated circuit having a plurality of second logical I/O ports physically arranged in a second order at the periphery, wherein each first I/O port is to be connected to one of said second I/O ports. The first and second I/O logical ports are connected independently from the first and/or second physical order, so that connection lines do not cross each other.

Abstract:
Plural pins are arranged on a printed circuit board to form a generally square shape and are electrically connected to terminals of a QFP-IC. In the pins, a pin disposed at a corner portion of the generally square shape is used as a GND terminal, and a pin adjoining the GND terminal is used as a source terminal. A conductive region is provided to extend radially from the corner portion, and is electrically connected to the ground terminal. Further, another conductive region is provided in the generally square shape and is electrically connected to the radial conductive region.
