Abstract:
A wiring substrate includes a block with substrates laid out in an array. The block includes corners and a plan view center. Each substrate includes a substrate body. Pads are formed on the substrate body. Each pad includes a pad surface. The pads of the substrates include first pads, which are the pads of one of the substrates located in at least one of the corners of the block. The pad surface of each of the first pads includes a first axis extending from the first pad toward the plan view center of the block. The pad surface of each of the first pads has a first length along the corresponding first axis and a second length along a second axis, which is orthogonal to the first axis. The first length is longer than the second length.
Abstract:
A paddle card construction disclosed for use in connecting electronic devices together. The paddle card takes the form of a circuit board that has a plurality of conductive contact pads arranged thereon in pairs. The contact pads of each pair are spaced apart from each other to provide a pair of points to which cable wire free ends may be terminated, such as by soldering. The spacing of the pads apart from each other in effect reduces to amount of capacitance in the cable wire termination area on the circuit board, thereby reducing the impedance and insertion loss in that area at high frequencies. The contact pads of each pair may be further interconnected together by a thin, conductive trace that extends lengthwise between the contact pads.

Abstract:
A circuit board adapted for use in an switching converter for connecting a plurality of switches including a first switch, a second switch, a third switch and a fourth switch. The circuit board has a layout for connecting the switches. The layout is adapted for locating the switches substantially at or symmetrically with respect to the endpoints of a right-angle cross. The right-angle cross is formed from two line segments intersecting with a ninety degree angle. The circuit board may offsets the switches perpendicularly to the line segments at the endpoints of the line segments either in a clockwise or a counterclockwise direction.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide an arrangement structure capable of reducing noise caused by a laminated ceramic capacitor mounted on a printed circuit board. A unit arrangement structure includes ceramic capacitors. Among the laminated ceramic capacitors, capacitors are arranged so that capacitor axes thereof extend along a first axis, while the other ceramic capacitors are arranged so that capacitor axes thereof extend along a second axis crossing the first axis. In accordance with such an arrangement structure, it is possible to effectively suppress noise even in the case of single-side mounting.
