  • Publication number: 20160157336
    Abstract: First and second semiconductor devices and first and second bypass circuits are mounted on a printed wiring board. The first bypass circuit and the second bypass circuit are provided closer to the first semiconductor device and to the second semiconductor device, respectively. The first bypass circuit has one end connected to a power plane through a first power supply via and the other end connected to a ground plane through a first ground via. The second bypass circuit has one end connected to the power plane through a second power supply via and the other end connected to the ground plane through a second ground via. The ground plane has a slit between the connecting portions of the first and second ground vias to increase the impedance between the connecting portions of the first and the second ground vias. Thus, jitters caused by power supply noise can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 9192044
    Abstract: First and second signal wiring patterns are formed in a first conductor layer. A first electrode pad electrically connected to the first signal wiring pattern through a first via and a second electrode pad electrically connected to the second signal wiring pattern through a second via are formed in a second conductor layer as a surface layer. A third conductor layer is disposed between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer with an insulator interposed between those conductor layers. A first pad electrically connected to the first via is formed in the third conductor layer. The first pad includes an opposed portion which overlaps the second electrode pad as viewed in a direction perpendicular to the surface of a printed board and which is opposed to the second electrode pad through intermediation of the insulator. This enables reduction of crosstalk noise caused between the signal wirings.

  • Publication number: 20150305149
    Abstract: A printed circuit board has a printed wiring board and a semiconductor package mounted on the printed wiring board. The printed wiring board and the semiconductor package are connected with a plurality of solder balls. An underfill material covering the plurality of solder balls is filled between the printed wiring board and the semiconductor package. The underfill material has a relative dielectric constant of 8.6 or more and 54.4 or less. Thus, crosstalk noise generated in wiring in the out-of-plane direction is reduced without increasing the mounting area.

  • Patent number: 8428155
    Abstract: One end of a sub transmission line of which an impedance value is equal to or higher than a parallel impedance value of an output impedance value of a transmission circuit and an impedance value of a transmission line is connected to a connection point between the transmission circuit and the transmission line, and a correction resistor of which resistance is lower than an impedance value of the sub transmission line is connected to the other end of the sub transmission line. A length of the sub transmission line is set to satisfy a condition of 0.5×Tr (signal rise time)?Td (signal propagation time of sub transmission line)?0.5×Tmin (signal minimum pulse width), thereby achieving a de-emphasis function by a passive component, correcting a high-frequency component of a signal attenuated on the transmission line, and thus reducing timing jitters caused by intersymbol interference.
