Abstract:
A differential connector has a plurality of rows. Each row includes a plurality of signal conductors provided as differential pairs. Each signal conductor has a first contact end connectable to a printed circuit board, a second contact end, and an intermediate portion having a first width. For each differential pair, one first contact end lies along a first line parallel to the plurality of rows and the other first contact end lies along a second line parallel to and spaced from the first line. The differential connector further includes a plurality of ground conductors, with each ground conductor corresponding to a differential pair. Each ground conductor has a first contact end connectable to the printed circuit board, a second contact end, and an intermediate portion having a second width that is at least twice the first width.
Abstract:
A circuit topology for multiple loads includes a driving terminal for transmitting a driving signal, a number of transmitting lines, and a number of loads operable to receive the driving signal from the driving terminal. The number of loads are connected to the driving terminal one by one via the number of transmitting lines. Two transmitting lines of the number of transmitting lines, which are nearest and farthest respectively from the driving terminal, are both greater than widths of the other transmitting lines.
Abstract:
A second printed wiring board is opposed to a surface of the first printed wiring board. A support member supports the first and second printed wiring boards. A first connector is mounted on the first printed wiring board. A second connector is mounted on the second printed wiring board. A wiring connects the first printed wiring board to the second printed wiring board. The first and second connectors are separately mounted on the first and second printed wiring boards, respectively. The sizes of the first and second printed wiring boards can be reduced as compared with the case where connectors are arranged in a row on a single printed wiring board, for example. This results in a reduction in the size of the printed circuit board unit. A large number of the printed circuit board units can be coupled to the back panel.
Abstract:
A flexible guiding module for electronic connector backplane enclosures having one or more molded plastic prongs or protrusions from a base body that is attached to the back plane by a threaded screw and secured to the base body by a threaded insert or directly by a threaded hole in the base body. The plastic prongs or protrusions are molded of high impact plastic having a spring back memory giving flexible guidance at the top or tip of the prongs or protrusions and gradually having additionally more accurate alignment at the base body when mated with the plug in card. This flexible polyether imide plastic guiding module is also resilient to damage caused by bent metal pins that can damage the plug in card or daughter card.
Abstract:
A motherboard is provided. The motherboard includes a chipset, a memory module slot, a bridge device, a plurality of first conducting wires and a plurality of second conducting wires. The first conducting wires are coupled between the chipset and the bridge device. The second conducting wires are coupled between the memory module slot and the bridge device. When the bridge device provides a Nth route set, the motherboard supports a Nth standard memory module inserted the memory module slot. The Nth route set is electrical connected between a Nth wire group of the first conducting wires and a Nth wire group of the second conducting wires, wherein N is a natural number. Further, transmission quality of signals is increased.

Abstract:
A standard compliant printed circuit base boards or modules for telecommunications, networking and computer equipment electrically and mechanically couples with reusable modular daughter cards to provide application-specific functionality within spatial limitations as required to comply with industry specifications. In particular, an Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) Specification compliant printed circuit board is configured for releseably coupling with one or more reusable daughter cards to provide reconfigurable, modularized and scalable electrical functionality in an AMC form factor.
Abstract:
A memory module includes a first signal line to carry a first signal. The first signal line has (i) a first line segment disposed along a length of the memory module and coupled to a termination, and (ii) a second line segment disposed along a width of the memory module and coupled to an edge finger. The first line segment and the second line segment are coupled together at a turn. A first synchronous memory device and a second synchronous memory device are coupled to the first line segment. The first signal arrives at the first synchronous memory device and the second synchronous memory device in a sequential manner. The memory module includes a clock line routed alongside the first signal line. A clock signal arrives at the first synchronous memory device and the second synchronous memory device in sequence alongside the first signal traversing along the first signal line.
Abstract:
An article and a method for testing the assembly of that article are disclosed. The article includes a plurality of modules, at least two of the modules are capable of being placed in two different positions in the article, each module having a correct position in the article. Each module includes an aperture at a location determined by the desired position for that module in the article. The apertures are placed such that the apertures will be aligned to form a transparent channel when the modules are arranged in a predetermined pattern with respect to one another, but not when arranged in any of the possible incorrect orders. The article can be tested for assembly errors by transmitting a test light signal into the first end and testing for light that traversed all of said first transparent channel.
Abstract:
A connection system has two connectors connected to each other by a plurality of differential signal pairs. The differential signal pairs alternate between a “straight connection” and a “reverse connection” between the connectors. The “straight connection” is formed by having a first signal trace connected from a positive launch in the first connector to a positive launch in the second connector, or P-P. And, the second signal trace has an N-N connection. The “reverse connection” has a first signal trace connected from a positive launch in the first connector to a negative launch in the second connector, or P-N. And, the second signal trace has a N-P connection. By inverting the pin connections of every other differential signal pair on the backplane, the forward crosstalk from the first connector is cancelled by the crosstalk generated by the second connector.
