Abstract:
A printed circuit board (20) includes a laminated core (210) including at least an internal conductive layer (L 2 , L 5 ), and a build-up layer (212, 214) on the laminated core (210). The build-up layer (212, 214) includes a top conductive layer (L 1 , L 6 ). Microvias (220a, 220b) are disposed in the build-up layer (212, 214) to electrically connect the top conductive layer (L 1 , L 6 ) with the internal conductive layer (L 2 , L 5 ). A power/ground ball pad array is disposed in the top conductive layer (L 1 ). The power/ground ball pad array includes power ball pads (302) and ground ball pads (402) arranged in an array with a fixed ball pad pitch P. The power/ground ball pad array includes a 4-ball pad unit area (2a, 2b) that is comprised of only one ground ball pad and three power ball pads, or comprised of only one power ball pad and three ground ball pads.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board having micro-vias (MV) used to connect a portion of the contacts (10') in a selected row or column to the first internal layer of the board, thereby creating routing channels on the second and subsequent internal layers of the board between selected rows or columns of through-board vias (12') used to connect the remaining contacts and a BGA package adapted to be used with the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
A printed circuit board (PCB) assembly having a plurality of circuit layers including outer layers and intervening layers with through-vias (12') and micro-vias (MV) used to translate a portion of the signal connections of the grid, thereby creating a set of diagonal routing channels between the vias on internal layers of the board and a BGA package mounted on the printed circuit board.

The invention relates to a package board composed as a multi-layer wiring board, comprising a plurality of conductor circuits (158U,158D) formed in an outermost layer, an insulating layer (150) for supporting a plurality of said conductor circuits formed in said outermost layer and a plurality of inner layer conductor circuits formed under said insulating layer, wherein a plurality of said inner layer conductor circuits are a power supply layer (58U) and/or a ground layer (58D), a soldering bump (76U,76D) is formed, through said insulting layer, on each via-hole (160U,160D) connected to an inner layer conductor circuit.
Abstract:
A multilayered printed wiring board having a ball grid array (BGA) land pattern in which each land in the pattern is connected to a respective via by a link connector, a method of adapting spacing between selected adjacent via and respective link pairs to receive decoupling capacitor pads, comprising rotating, elongating and/or truncating the selected adjacent pairs and rotating their respective corresponding via pairs to adapt the spacing between the selected adjacent via pairs in the BGA land pattern and applying the capacitor pads to the selected via pairs. The selected adjacent via pairs and their respective link connectors are rotated, elongated and/or truncated in mutually opposite directions.
Abstract:
An orthogonal backplane connector systems having midplane footprints that provide for continuity of impedance and signal integrity through the midplane and allow for the same connector to be coupled to either side of the midplane. This design creates an orthogonal interconnect without taking up unnecessary PCB real estate. The midplane circuit board may include a first differential signal pair of electrically conductive vias disposed in a first direction, and a second differential signal pair of electrically conductive vias disposed in a second direction that is generally orthogonal to the first direction.
