Abstract:
In an electronic device , a QFN is surface-mounted on a printed board . The QFN includes a main body containing an IC chip , a reinforcement portion , and multiple terminal portions . The reinforcement portion is exposed from a bottom portion of the main body and mechanically coupled with multiple reinforcement lands on the printed board. The multiple terminal portions are exposed from a peripheral of the main body and electrically coupled with multiple lands on the printed board. In the printed board, the multiple lands are connected with multiple conductive wires Some of the multiple conductive wires are outside of the surface-mounted area . The others are inside of the surface-mounted area to face the reinforcement lands. This enhances a mounting efficiency in the printed board.
Abstract:
A hybrid electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure for broadband suppression of noise on printed wiring boards includes an array of coplanar patches interconnected into a grid by series inductances, and a corresponding array of shunt LC networks connecting the coplanar patches to a second conductive plane. This combination of series inductances and shunt resonant vias lowers the cutoff frequency for the fundamental stopband. The series inductances and shunt capacitances may be implemented using surface mount component technology, or printed traces. Patches may also be interconnected by coplanar coupled transmission lines. The even and odd mode impedances of the coupled lines may be increased by forming slots in the second conductive plane disposed opposite to the transmission line, lowering the cutoff frequency and increasing the bandwidth of the fundamental stopband. Coplanar EBG structures may be integrated into power distribution networks of printed wiring boards for broadband suppression of electromagnetic noise.

In a terminal structure according to the invention, a land portion (2) includes a terminal portion for soldering a ball (7) ; a support portion (4) disposed in the neighborhood of an outer periphery portion of the terminal portion; and a link portion (5) for linking the terminal portion and the support portion; and wherein on a base material, with an entirety of the terminal portion including an edge portion located in the outer periphery portion of the terminal portion exposed, an insulating layer (6) is disposed so as to cover the support portion; and with a solder straddled a surface and an edge portion of the terminal portion, the ball is soldered to the terminal portion. Accordingly, the terminal structure that is large in the peel strength of the ball from the terminal portion and of the terminal portion from the base material can be obtained.
Abstract:
A node for commonly supplying a ground potential in an amplification circuit (MMIC11) is formed. The input and output system ground surfaces of a printed wiring board (PWB) on which the amplification circuit (MMIC11) is to be mounted are electrically separated from each other on the printed wiring board (PWB). Since no ground pattern is present on the amplification circuit (MMIC11), the ground node of the amplification circuit (MMIC11) serves as a means for supplying a true ground potential. While a compact package is realized by preventing an increase in number of leads, oscillation is prevented, so a high gain can be realized.

Abstract:
A transmission line, a resonator, a filter, a duplexer, and a communication apparatus efficiently minimize power losses due to edge effects, thereby having superior loss-reduction characteristics. A continuous line (12) and a plurality of thin lines (2) each having a predetermined length and branching from both sides of the continuous line (12) are formed on a dielectric substrate (1). According to this, substantial edges of the individual thin lines (2) do not exist, and losses due to edge effects can be efficiently minimized.
