    摘要: A carrier for an electronic device such as an integrated circuit chip is designed by assigning two different voltage domains to two separate areas of the contact surface of the carrier, while providing a common electrical ground for both voltage domains. The integrated circuit chip may be a microprocessor having a nominal operating voltage, and the different voltages of the two voltage domains are both within the tolerance range of the nominal operating voltage but one of the voltage domains is aligned with a high power density area of the microprocessor (e.g., the microprocessor core) and provides a slightly greater voltage. The higher power voltage domain preferably has a ratio of voltage pins to ground pins that is greater than one.

    摘要: Manufacturing circuits with reference plane voids over vias with a strip segment interconnect permits routing critical signal paths over vias, while increasing via insertion capacitance only slightly. The transmission line reference plane defines voids above (or below) signal-bearing plated-through holes (PTHs) that pass through a rigid substrate core, so that the signals are not degraded by an impedance mismatch that would otherwise be caused by shunt capacitance from the top (or bottom) of the signal-bearing PTHs to the transmission line reference plane. In order to provide increased routing density, signal paths are routed over the voids, but disruption of the signal paths by the voids is prevented by including a conductive strip through the voids that reduces the coupling to the signal-bearing PTHs and maintains the impedance of the signal path conductor.

    摘要: A method reduces coupling noise and controls impedance discontinuity in ceramic packages by: providing at least one reference mesh layer; providing a plurality of signal trace layers, with each signal layer having one or more signal lines and the reference mesh layer being adjacent to one or more of the signal layers; disposing a plurality of vias through the at least one reference mesh layer, with each via providing a voltage (Vdd) power connection or a ground (Gnd) connection; selectively placing via-connected coplanar-type shield (VCS) lines relative to the signal lines, with a first VCS line extended along a first side of a first signal line and a second VCS line extended along a second, opposing side of said first signal line. Each of the VCS lines interconnect with and extend past one or more vias located within a directional path along which the VCS lines extends.

    摘要: A circuit and a method for detecting noise events in a system with time variable operating points is provided. A switched capacitor filter comprising a plurality of capacitor units, samples a first voltage to determine an average of a set of voltage measurements, forming an average voltage. A filter control unit controls the plurality of capacitor units in the switched capacitor filter. A comparing unit compares the average voltage to the first voltage to form a comparison. A signaling unit generates a signal to instruct circuits in a processor to initiate actions to keep the first voltage from drooping below a threshold level in response to the comparison.

    摘要: A reduced number of voltage regulator modules provides a reduced number of supply voltages to the package. The package includes a voltage plane for each of the voltage regulator modules. Each core or other component on the die is tied to a switch on the package, and each switch is electrically connected to all of the voltage planes. A wafer-level test determines a voltage that optimizes performance of each core or other component. Given these voltage values, an engineer may determine voltage settings for the voltage regulator modules and which cores are to be connected to which voltage regulator modules. A database stores voltage setting data, such as the optimal voltage for each component, switch values, or voltage settings for each voltage regulator module. An engineering wire may permanently set each switch to customize the voltage supply to each core or other component.
