Abstract:
An electronic apparatus with electrostatic discharge protection includes: a conducting casing and a circuit board. The circuit board has a power ground node and a conditional conducting path, and is set inside the conducting casing. The conditional conducting path further includes: a conducting element and an electrostatic discharging component. One end of the conducting element is electrically connected to the conducting casing, and the electrostatic discharging component is electrically connected between another end of the conducting element and the power ground node. When the voltage variation between the two ends of the electrostatic discharging element reaches a preset condition, the electrostatic discharging component functions as a short circuit; otherwise, the electrostatic discharging element is equivalent to a high impedance element. The power ground node electrically connects to an electrode of a battery for using it as a vessel of receiving electrostatic charges.

By using the substrate volume, an increase in the total electrode area per volume is accomplished.
Abstract:
A process for mechanical assembly and electrical interconnection of the functional components of an active implantable medical device. A first step involves preparing an interconnection flex circuit (20) that is able to be electrically and mechanically linked to an electronic circuit module (14), a supply battery (12) and a series of feedthrough terminals (16) of the device, prior to being placed in a common case. The flex circuit has a series of pads (34) for linking to homologous metallizations (46) of the substrate. The mechanical assembling and electrical linking of these pads (34) to the metallizations (46) is performed without either the use of any activation flux or introduction of fusible brazing, and rather by applying an intermediate anisotropic conductive material (38) placed between the pads (34) and metallizations (46), followed by polymerizing this material. The applying and polymerizing are performed under controlled conditions of pressure, temperature and duration.
Abstract:
An interconnect device is provided with a body through which a plurality of wells has been defined. At least one component having two terminals is provided in one or more of the wells. The component is sealed in its respective well such that the two terminals are accessible on opposite sides of the body. The body corresponds to a Ball Grid Array (BGA) device and is positioned between a BGA device and a printed circuit board (PCB). The component in the well is then inline with a solder ball on the BGA device and a corresponding pad on the PCB. Providing the component in the well frees up surface area on the PCB and also allows for positioning the component closer to a source of a signal. A component in the well is a discrete component having two terminals that may be solderable or made from a conductive pliable material. The terminals may be spring-mounted on the component.
