Abstract:
An electrical connector comprised of a plurality of electrical contacts arranged in a stair-step configuration designed to mate with electrical components having electrical contacts arranged in a stair-step configuration. A direct connect signaling system comprised of stair-step electrical connectors mated to stair-step printed circuit boards, other stair-step electrical components, or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
Structures employed by a plurality of packages, printed circuit boards, connectors and interposers to create signal paths which reduce the deleterious signal quality issues associated with the use of through-holes. Disclosed structures can coexist with through-hole implementations.
Abstract:
A device module may be used to carry a plurality of devices, such as memory devices or other components. The device module may include a board, a first set of contact points, and a second set of contact points. A plurality of signal paths may be provided on the board, where each signal path extends between a contact point in the first set and a contact point in the second set. Each of the plurality of signal paths has substantially an identical length and a same number of turns on the board.
Abstract:
A signal-segregating connector for use in a system having a printed circuit board, a first electrical structure and a second electrical structure. The connector includes a first set of conductive elements to convey signals between the first electrical structure and the printed circuit board, and a second set of conductive elements to convey signals between the first electrical structure and the second electrical structure.
Abstract:
An IC package having multiple surfaces for interconnection with interconnection elements making connections from the IC chip to the I/O terminations of the package assembly which reside on more than one of its surfaces and which make interconnections to other devices or assemblies that are spatially separated.
