    Abstract: The substrate member of a multi-tier circuit board is provided, during the construction thereof, with an integral bar code structure by extending spaced apart, parallel finger sections of an interior metal ground plane portion of a panel structure outwardly past the routing path along which the substrate member is to be separated from the panel structure. After the substrate member is routed from the panel structure it has a peripheral side edge portion upon which exposed end surface portions of the spaced ground plane finger sections are disposed in a mutually spaced bar code array representative of predetermined information relating to the completed circuit board. The ground-seeking probe portion of a conductive scanning device is moved along the bar-coded edge of the substrate member to read and decipher the integral ground plane bar code structure compactly incorporated thereon during the manufacture of the substrate member.

    Abstract: A backplane power distribution system characterized by generally uniform current densities so as to be capable of handling very high levels of current. This is achieved with a stepped backplane construction. For example, in a system having, in order, a first conductive layer, a first dielectric layer, a second conductive layer, and a second dielectric layer, the second conductive and dielectric layers extend transversely beyond the first conductive and dielectric layers to present a substantial exposed area of the second conductive layer. Typically, a rectangular metal bus bar is bolted to the backplane to make contact with the exposed area, and power supply connections to the bus bar are made in any convenient manner.

    Abstract: A direct module powering scheme is disclosed. A plurality of integrated circuit chips are mounted on a module. The module is mounted on a printed circuit board. A plurality of metallization layers are distributed in parallel fashion within the module. A voltage tab is mounted on the edge of the module substrate and in contact with the edge of the metallization layers. The voltage tab may be attached to a source of power for providing the necessary voltage and current to the module needed to power the chips mounted on the module. The metallization layers comprise voltage distribution layers and voltage reference (ground) layers. The voltage tab is connected to the edge of the voltage distribution layer. A plurality of plated vias are disposed through the module in contact with one or more of the metallization layers. A plurality of voltage distribution stripes are disposed on the bottom of the module substrate and in contact with the plated vias for providing the necessary voltage and current to remotely-located chips, relative to the voltage tab, needed to power the chips. The energizing current from the power source energizes the chips mounted on the module by way of the voltage tab, the voltage distribution layer, and a plated via. Alternatively, the energizing current from the power source energizes a remotely-located chip mounted on the module by way of the voltage tab, the voltage distribution layer, a plated via, a voltage distribution stripe, and another plated via connected to the remotely-located chip. As a result, the module is connected directly to the power source, rather than being connected to the power source by way of a plurality of power distribution planes disposed within the printed circuit board.
