Abstract:
A chassis and associated telecommunication circuit card are disclosed. The chassis has heat dissipation and flame containment features while accommodating a high density of the circuitry cards. Embodiments include an inner housing with a double-layer middle floor dividing the chassis into top and bottom chambers. Each layer has partially aligned slots, and an air gap is provided between the two layers. Embodiments also include a double-layer mesh cover with an air gap existing between the two mesh layers. Projections and grooves are provided on the inner surfaces of the inner housing to receive circuit cards having a guide on one edge and a fin on another. The circuit card includes conductor structures such as multiple board layers with paired and segregated conductors. The circuit card also includes some components positioned to cooperate with the ventilation features of the chassis and includes some components chosen for low-power consumption or reduced flammability.

The present invention realizes high density mounting along with achieving power source sharing by a digital semiconductor element and an analog semiconductor element in a semiconductor device. An power layer for analog is connected to one end of an EBG layer, a power layer for digital is connected to the other end of the EBG layer, ground terminals for the respective elements are connected to a common ground layer, and a ground layer for separating the power layer for analog and the EBG layer from each other is disposed between the power layer for analog and the EBG layer. Thereby, high density mounting is achieved along with reducing interference of power source to an analog chip.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board has separate first, second and third sections arranged in a predetermined direction. A connector is mounted at the first section. A noise cut filter is mounted at the second section and connected to the connector. An electronic circuit component is mounted at the third section and connected to the noise cut filter. An electrically conductive power source layer is formed within the printed circuit board at a position outside a peripheral section adjacent the second section. The noise cut filter is allowed to operate without receiving any influence of noise from the power source layer. Noise is sufficiently removed at the noise cut filter. Noise is suppressed to the utmost in electric signals in the connector. Radiation of noise is reliably reduced at the connector. Electromagnetic interference can be suppressed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus and method for improving coupling across plane discontinuities on circuit boards. A circuit board includes a discontinuity, e.g., a split, slot, or cutout, formed on a voltage reference plane. A conductive layer overlies the discontinuity. The conductive layer has a first portion connected to the underlying reference plane and a second portion spanning the discontinuity. The first portion is connected to the reference plane using a slot or vias. And the conductive layer has a third portion extending over the reference plane but remaining disconnected from it. The conductive layer might be graphite or carbon black.

A circuit board with mounting pads is described for improving the frequency response of routing traces. The present invention is used to etch an etching hole on ground layer corresponding to the surface-mounted devices (SMD) on a routing layer and therefore the parasitic effect from the stray capacitor is reduced, resulting in eliminating the parasitic effect in high-frequency and raising the quality of the PCB as well.

Abstract:
An electronic circuit includes a first semiconductor device (4) and a second semiconductor device (3) on a mounting substrate. The mounting substrate includes a plurality of mounting substrate lines (201 to 204) which are connected in common with external terminals of a plurality of bits of the first semiconductor device and external terminals of a plurality of bits of the second semiconductor device for every bit. The mounting substrate lines have lengths thereof from the external terminals of the first semiconductor device to the external terminals of the second semiconductor device made unequal for respective bits. Assembling lines (361 to 364) which reach connecting electrodes of a semiconductor chip from the external terminals of the second semiconductor device have made lengths thereof unequal for respective bits. Here, the unequal lengths of the mounting substrate lines have a relationship which offsets the unequal lengths of the assembling lines. According to such a constitution, it is unnecessary to set lengths between the external terminals of the second semiconductor device and the connecting electrodes of the semiconductor chip equal.

A second ground plane is disposed at a second depth in the circuit board below the circuit traces in the second region. The second depth is selected to provide a specific characteristic impedance of the circuit traces in the second region.
