Abstract:
A printed circuit board ("PCB") includes a first pattern structure, a second pattern structure, a third pattern structure, and a fourth pattern structure. The first pattern structure includes a first ground pattern. The second pattern structure includes a first line pattern overlapping the first ground pattern and a second ground pattern electrically insulated from the first line pattern. The third pattern structure includes a third ground pattern overlapping the first line pattern and a second line pattern overlapping the second ground pattern. The fourth pattern structure includes a fourth ground pattern overlapping the second line pattern. Therefore, the PCB may decrease noise.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a microstrip line for a printed wiring board such as a flexible printed wiring board which includes a sandwiched thin insulating layer and cannot use a solid grounding conductor, the microstrip line being such that shape of grounding conductors relative to signal lines remains unchanged even in the presence of a curved shape and that overlapping areas of signal lines and grounding conductors located opposite to each other remain unchanged even in case of exposure misalignment or stack misalignment. A printed wiring board with a microstrip line structure in which signal lines are curved include wire-type grounding conductors 5, 9, 12, 15, 19, or 26 located across an insulating layer 3, 10, or 13 from the signal lines 4, 6, 8, 11, 14, 18, or 25, characterized in that wiring pitch of the grounding conductors is 1/n of width of the signal lines (where n is a natural number of 1 or 2).
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a telecommunications jack including a housing having a port for receiving a plug. The jack also includes a plurality of contact springs adapted to make electrical contact with the plug when the plug is inserted into the port of the housing, and a plurality of wire termination contacts for terminating wires to the jack. The jack further includes a circuit board that electrically connects the contact springs to the wire termination contacts. The circuit board includes first and second conductive layers separated by a relatively thin dielectric layer. The first and second conductive layers include a crosstalk compensation arrangement having spaced-apart capacitor members. The relatively thin dielectric layer allows a high level of capacitance to be generated between the capacitor members.

Abstract:
An apparatus comprises a first plane adapted to receive a first voltage level and a second plane adapted to receive a second voltage level. The apparatus further comprises a path asymmetrically positioned between the first plane and the second plane. The path is capable of providing the network connection to one or more devices within a processor-based system, typically for the purpose of management of one or more domains in the system.

Abstract:
A printed circuit board (10) and a method of making same in which the board includes a common power plane (11) having dielectric layers (19, 23) on opposing sides thereof and a signal layer (21, 25) on each of said dielectric layers (19, 23), each signal layer comprising a plurality of substantially parallel signal lines (22, 27) running in substantially similar directions across said signal layers (21, 25). Predetermined portions of the signal lines (22, 27) in one signal layer are aligned relative to and also parallel to corresponding signal lines in the other signal layer, with the power plane (11) being located between these portions. Through hole connections are provided between selected signal lines in the two layers, these occurring through clearance holes (13) in the power plane (11) so as to be isolated therefrom.
Abstract:
A printed circuit (PC) board-mountable ferrite electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter (702, 1003, 1003'') for striplines (701, 1001, 1002) of a printed circuit (PC) board (700, 1000) that accommodates large numbers of striplines, and is cost-effective. One embodiment of the EMI filter is used with a PC board (700) that routes striplines (701) in a step-function (i.e., a "U"-shaped) pattern. The EMI filter comprises a ferrite body (702) that defines two parallel passageways (708, 709), i.e., has a figure-8 shape in cross section. The portion (710) of the PC board that defines the stripline portions extending in the one direction lies in one passageway, whereas the portion (711) of the PC board that defines the stripline portions extending in the other direction lies in the other passageway. A different embodiment of the EMI filter is used with a PC board (1000) that routes sets (1001, 1002) of striplines in a cross-hatch (i.e., a "#"-shaped) pattern, where the striplines end (are interrupted) before intersecting so that each stripline comprises two separate straight on-board parts. This EMI filter comprises a ferrite body (1003) that defines two orthogonal sets (1012, 1013) of off-board "U"-shaped conductors, one set for each orthogonal set of striplines with one conductor of a set for each stripline of a set. Each stripline's corresponding "U"-shaped conductor interconnects the two straight on-board parts of the stripline.
