    Abstract: An integrated circuit design is provided capable of operating in multiple insertion orientations. In particular, the inventive circuit design includes an integrated circuit package having a plurality of contact elements extending from the integrated circuit package and arranged symmetrically thereon for enabling the integrated circuit to be inserted on a circuit board in at least two discrete orientations. A plurality of the contact elements are designated as orientation pins, the orientation pins being arranged such that, upon integrated circuit package power up, the orientation pins transmit orientation signals indicative of the integrated circuit packages insertion orientation in the circuit board. A plurality of multiplexer devices are provided for routing signals between the contact elements and integrated circuit functional circuitry in response to the orientation signals from the orientation pins.

    Abstract: A layout structure of a central processing unit (CPU) that supports two different package techniques, comprising a motherboard that comprises the layout structure and a layout method. The layout structure of the preferred embodiment according to the present invention from up to down sequentially places a top signal layer, a grounded layer, a power layer having a grounded potential, and a bottom solder layer in the area where the signals of the CPU are coupled to the signals of the control chip, so that the signals that are placed on the bottom solder layer can refer to a grounded potential area of the power layer. Therefore, part of signals of the CPU that are coupled to the control chip can be placed on the bottom solder layer. Since the preferred embodiment of the present invention provides more flexibility in the placement design, a layout structure that supports the Pentium IV CPUs of different package techniques can be designed on the motherboard of the 4 layers stack structure, and these two CPUs can be supported by the same control chip.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to techniques for forming a soldered connection using a pin having a channel. The channel enables the pin to form a secure connection with a via (e.g., by facilitating gas percolation out of the via hole during soldering to improve solder flow, by holding solder prior to pin insertion and soldering, or by facilitating accurate pin bending to hold solder or a pin insert prior to pin insertion and soldering) to improve connection system reliability and increase manufacturing yields. In one arrangement, the pin has a surface which includes (i) a first surface area, (ii) a second surface area that is substantially parallel to the first surface area, and (iii) a channel surface area which defines a channel that extends from the first surface area toward the second surface area. To form a soldered connection, the pin is inserted into a cavity defined by a via of a connecting member (e.g., a circuit board), in a direction that is parallel to a central axis of the via. The pin is then soldered to the via to establish an electrical pathway between the pin and the via. Depending on the particular arrangement, the channel generally facilitates the introduction of solder into the cavity of the via. Accordingly, the cavity dimension of the via can be smaller than that required for vias of a conventional reflow soldering approach (i.e., less than 100% of the maximum pin cross-section as for a conventional reflow soldering approach). Hence, the invention is suitable for use in high-density, micro-soldered connection arrangements (e.g., in situations with vias closer together than in the conventional reflow soldering approach).
