  • Electrical apparatus having tin whisker sensing and prevention
    Patent number: 11619665
    Abstract: An electrical apparatus that includes: an electronic substrate having a plurality of pads for connecting to an electronic component placed on the electronic substrate; a shield placed on a surface of the electronic substrate, the shield having a plurality of openings with the plurality of openings aligned over the plurality of pads and at least a portion of each of the plurality of openings being conductive; connection means to connect the conductive portions of each of the plurality of openings to a fault detect and error handling circuit; and the fault detect and error handling circuit to detect a short circuit between at least one of the conductive portions and the pad aligned with the opening containing the at least one of the conductive portions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 7, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 4, 2023
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Jeffrey N. Judd, Matthew Doyle, Matthew S. Kelly, Henry M. Newshutz, Timothy J. Tofil, Mark J. Jeanson

  • MATCHING TRANSMITTER IMPEDANCE TO RECEIVER TERMINATION USING AN AVERAGE OF TRANSMITTER OUTPUT VOLTAGE SAMPLES
    Publication number: 20200162290
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to adjust a differential transmitter output impedance is disclosed. Output voltage is sampled and averaged to mitigate noise and leakage. Averaged uplevel and downlevel voltages are used to select a number of pullup devices and a number of pulldown devices to control the differential transmitter output impedance to match a distal termination resistance or a transmission line impedance.
