Abstract:
A method for electronic circuit power plane design includes analyzing direct current (DC) properties of a power plane of an electronic circuit. The method includes analyzing power net inductance (PNI) properties of the power plane and identifying victim areas of the power plane having predetermined current density properties based on the DC properties and the PNI properties of the power plane. The method further includes replacing the identified victim areas with ground (GND) shapes to form a modified power plane.
Abstract:
In a fitting region for a SAW filter which includes langasite as its piezoelectric element, there are included an input side terminal electrode and an output side terminal electrode which are connected to an input terminal and to an output terminal of the SAW filter. To each of the terminal electrodes, at a position which is separated by just a predetermined distance from the fitting region of the SAW filter, there is connected a micro strip line which extends in mutually opposite directions along a direction which is parallel to the transmission direction of a frequency signal within the SAW filter. A slit is provided in the fitting region of the SAW filter and extends in a direction which intersects the transmission direction of the frequency signal within the SAW filter. A plurality of through holes are provided in the printed substrate and electrically connect together its surface and its rear surface which is grounded. Furthermore, there is provided a protective member which has a conductive surface and which is in contact with the surface of said filter, and said conductive surface of said protective member which is in contact with the surface of said filter is set so as to be of the same size as the surface of said filter, or so as to be smaller than it.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to computer hardware design, and in particular to a printed circuit board (card) comprising wiring dedicated to supply electric board components such as integrated circuits with at least three different reference planes. In particular at locations, where the pins of a card-to-card connector enter the layer structure of the card discontinuities brake the high frequency signal return path of a given signal wiring. In order to close the signal return path around a signal path from card to card including the connector, and thus to limit the signal coupling while concurrently keeping the card design as simple as possible, it is proposed to provide a) an additional capacitance for a given signal wiring in a discontinuity section, b) wherein the additional capacitance is formed by a voltage island placed within a signal layer located next to the given signal wiring.

The exclusive ground wiring is connected to the common ground via an additional via-hole vb. Furthermore, a noise-suppressing capacitor C is connected between a power source wiring and a ground wiring.
