  • Patent number: 8604351
    Abstract: A printed circuit board includes a signal layer and a reference layer. The signal layer is covered with copper foil. A circuit topology for multiple loads is set on the signal layer. The circuit topology includes a driving terminal, a first signal receiving terminal, and a second signal receiving terminal. The driving terminal is connected to a node through a first transmission line. The node is connected to the first and second signal receiving terminals respectively through a second and a third transmission lines. A difference between lengths of the second and third transmission lines is greater than a product of a transmission speed and a rise time of signals from the driving terminal. The reference layer is covered with copper foil, and arranged under the signal layer. A region without copper foil is formed on the reference layer, under the second transmission line.

  • Publication number: 20130049461
    Abstract: A circuit topology for multiple loads includes a driving terminal, first and second signal receiving terminals, and a capacitor. The driving terminal is connected to a node through a first transmission line. The node is connected to the first and second signal receiving terminals through second and third transmission lines. The second transmission line is longer than the third transmission line, and a difference between lengths of the second and third transmission lines is greater than a product of a transmission speed and a rise time of signals from the driving terminal. A first terminal of the capacitor is connected to the third transmission line. A second terminal of the capacitor is grounded. A distance between the capacitor and the second signal receiving terminal is less than a distance between the capacitor and the node.

  • Patent number: 8194412
    Abstract: A printed circuit board includes a signal plane and a reference plane. The signal plane includes a pad, a passive element mounted on the pad, and a signal transmission line electrically connected to the passive element via the pad. The reference plane provides a return path for a signal transmitted through the passive element and the signal transmission line. A void is defined in the reference plane corresponding to the passive element, to increase a length of the return path. A length of a first axis, perpendicular to the signal transmission line, of the void satisfies a following equation: W 1 ? 8 ? Wpad + 10 ? T 0.8 ? Wtrace + T , wherein Wpad is a width of the pad, Wtrace is a width of the transmission line, T is the height of the pad.
