  • Patent number: 9826632
    Abstract: A multi-layer substrate structure to achieve multiple arrangements of power/ground domains is disclosed. The multi-layer substrate structure comprises a first layer for disposing an integrated circuit thereon and a second layer coupled to the first layer, wherein a connection structure is electrically connected to a plurality of power/ground domains on the second layer. With different combinations of the sawing lines and keep-out regions on the multi-layer substrate structure for cutting off some portions of the connection structure, the invention can achieve multiple arrangements of power/ground domains without impacting the customer's PCB or system board design so as to cut short the cycle time for engineering development phase.

  • Patent number: 9756721
    Abstract: A multilayer laminated substrate structure includes plural substrate layers stacked with each other, and a conductive via portion. One of the substrate layers is provided with a through hole. The conductive via portion includes a first signal conductive pad having a first rib, a second signal conductive pad having a second rib, and a conductive body which is disposed in the through hole and is electrically connected to the first rib and the second rib. The first signal conductive pad and the second signal conductive pad are disposed on two opposite surfaces of the substrate layer, and the first rib and the second rib are arranged in a staggered manner in relation to each other.

  • Patent number: 9282631
    Abstract: Circuit with flat electromagnetic band gap resonance structure, includes a plurality of flat units formed at a conductor layer; each flat unit spirally revolves inward from a first end to an internal point following a rotation direction, and spirally revolves outward from the internal point to a second end following an opposite rotation direction. Each flat unit is connected to a ground plane by a conductive stand (e.g., a via) at a connection point, for suppressing noise resonances at certain frequencies, and the frequencies are related to a stub length of each flat unit, and the stub length is related to a route length from the connection point to an end.
