Abstract:
A printed circuit board includes an insulating board, a pair of differential vias, and a number of wiring layers. A pair of via holes extends through opposite surfaces of the insulating board. The differential vias correspond to the pair of via holes. Each differential via includes a metal plated barrel and two via capture pads. The plated barrel is plated on the inner surface of the respective via hole, and terminates at each of the two opposite surfaces of the insulating board. The via capture pads are formed on the opposite surfaces of the insulating board around the openings of the via hole, and are electrically connected to the plated barrel. The wiring layers are arranged in the insulating board, and each define a clearance hole surrounding all of the via capture pads.

A simulation system for producing equivalent circuits reads data corresponding to a tabular W element format in a storage device, and adds data of the tabular W element format file using interpolation algorithm. A frequency-dependent transmission matrix is transformed into an N-port network matrix describing electrical properties of a multi-input and multi-output network. An N-port network matrix is transformed into a S-parameter matrix. A range of frequency of a s-parameter is determined and numbers of pole-residue, times for recursion and durable maximum system errors in the equivalent circuit is also determined. A a vector fitting algorithm is performed and a rational function matrix composed with s-parameters is produced, to produce a general SPICE equivalent circuit based on the generated rational function matrix.

In a method of managing process factors that influence electrical properties of printed circuit boards (PCBs), n process factors are arranged in an order according to different influence to one kind of electrical property of the PCBs. The different influence is determined by first experiments designed using the Taguchi method.

A computing formula for the electrical property is fitted using the m process factors according to simulated results of the second experiments, and a variation range of each of the m process factors is computed according to the computing formula.

A computing device and a method reads a circuit board layout file from a storage device, and selects a first signal transmission line from circuit board layout file as a target line. The computing device and method computes a distance between the target line and the aggressor line corresponding to each unit sample length. If the distance is more than or equal to a height of a sample region, the computing device and method defines the height of the sample region as a crosstalk space between the target line and the aggressor line corresponding to a unit sample length. Otherwise, if the distance is less than the height of the sample region, the computing device and method defines the distance as the crosstalk space between the target line and the aggressor line corresponding to the unit sample length.

Abstract:
In a method of optimizing parameters of electronic components on printed circuit boards (PCBs), a first experiment table for m variables of one type of parameter of P electronic components on a PCB is designed using n values of each variable and the RSM. P EHs of each first experiment are obtained by simulating, and P EH empirical formulas are computed according to the P EHs. A second experiment table for the m variables is designed using n′ values of each variable and the full factorial design, and P EHs of each second experiment are computed using the P EH empirical formulas. Experiments, all the P EHs of which are greater than 1, are filtered from the second experiment tables, and an average EH of each filtered experiment is computed to pick an experiment the average EH of which is the greatest. The values of the m variables in the picked experiment are considered as optimized.

An equalizer includes a first delay module, a second delay module, a first amplitude module, a second amplitude module, and a combining unit. The first delay module receives a first signal and delays the first received signal for a preset period, and the first amplitude module transfers the first delayed signal to transmit a first weighted signal with a first peak amplitude. Similarly, the second delay module receives the first delayed signal and delays the second received signal for the preset period, and the second amplitude module transfers the second delayed signal to transmit a second weighted signal with a second peak amplitude. The combining unit combines an input signal and the first and the second weighted signals together to generate an equalized signal.
