  • Publication number: 20230339410
    Abstract: A support structure for supporting a flat inverter located between seats aligned along the vehicle width direction is provided. A bracket supports the inverter in a horizontal position above a floor tunnel of a floor between the seats in a passenger compartment such that it is spaced apart from the floor tunnel. The bracket has a pair of rear leg portions aligned along the vehicle width direction. Middle parts of the pair of rear leg portions are formed so as to be easily bent outward or inward in the vehicle width direction. When a load is applied to the bracket due to movement of the seats during a side impact on the vehicle, the pair of rear leg portions bend, and the horizontal position of the inverter is disrupted.

  • Patent number: 10679766
    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: 9220165
    Abstract: A power source terminal and a ground terminal for a semiconductor integrated circuit are connected to a conductor pattern through a capacitor. The conductor pattern is connected, through a filter, to a plane conductor connected to neither a ground plane nor a power source plane. Thus, a common mode noise arising from between the power source and the ground is caused to flow into the plane conductor. This reduces the common mode noise flowing in the ground and the power source of the printed wiring board, which relatively act as antennas.

  • Patent number: 9198279
    Abstract: In a printed wiring board including a first wiring layer and a second wiring layer provided via an insulator layer, at least three guard ground wirings extending along a pair of signal wirings provided in the first wiring layer and supplied with a ground potential are provided between the pair of signal wirings. Thus, crosstalk noise can be reduced without widening a wiring area between the pair of signal wirings.

  • 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.
