    摘要: An information handling system (IHS) has a circuit board assembly with a dual-sided interposer substrate that is inserted between a baseboard and a processor integrated circuit having a second pattern of electrical contacts. The dual interposer substrate formed of a stack of printed circuit boards (PCBs) provides communication channels between a first coupling pad on the baseboard that has a first pattern of electrical contacts and a second coupling pad on top of the dual interposer substrate that provides the second pattern of electrical contacts. The second pattern receives another type of processor integrated circuit than a type supported by the first pattern. Stacked vias formed through the stack of PCBs electrically connect respective electrical contacts of the first and second coupling pads to form a corresponding communication channel. One or more grounded vias mitigate signal integrity (SI) anomalies on the communication channels.

    摘要: A differential trace pair system includes a first conductive layer that is located immediately adjacent a first insulating layer. The system includes a second conductive layer that is located immediately adjacent the first insulating layer and opposite the first insulating layer from the first conductive layer, and includes an aperture that extends through the second conductive layer. A second insulating layer is located immediately adjacent the second conductive layer and opposite the second conductive layer from the first insulating layer. The system includes a first differential trace pair that is included in the second insulating layer and that includes a first differential trace that is positioned adjacent the aperture and references the second conductive layer, and a second differential trace that is longer than the first differential trace and that includes a first portion that is positioned adjacent the second conductive layer aperture and references the first conductive layer.

    摘要: A differential pair group equalization system includes a board providing a differential trace pair group with a plurality of differential trace pairs, each of a transmitter device and a receiver device are coupled to the board and the differential trace pairs in the differential trace pair group. At least one of the transmitter device and the receiver device operates to identify a first differential trace pair in the differential trace pair group, and adjust second differential trace pair equalization parameters for a second differential trace pair in the differential trace pair group. If it is determined that first differential trace pair signal transmission capabilities for the first differential trace pair have improved in response to the adjustment of the second differential trace pair equalization parameters for the second differential trace pair the second differential trace pair equalization parameters are set for the second differential trace pair.

    摘要: A cable assembly includes a printed circuit board having a first surface and a second surface. A first post and a second post extend from one side of the printed circuit board. A first signal pad, a second signal pad, and a first ground pad are each coupled to the first surface. A first cable has a first signal wire at least partially covered by a first insulator and a second signal wire at least partially covered by a second insulator. The first cable further has a first ground shield at least partially covering the first and second insulators. A first end of a first cable is mounted between the first and second posts. A conductive attachment couples the first ground shield to the first ground pad.

    摘要: An information handling system communicates information across a physical link with high and low signal values sent at a unit interval. Feed forward equalization improves signal transfer with pre-emphasis of low-to-high signals and de-emphasis of high-to-low signals lasting for a fraction of the unit interval, such as one-half or one-quarter of the unit interval. Fractional unit interval pre-emphasis and de-emphasis reduce inter symbol interference to improve frequency domain eye structure at the physical link receiver.

    摘要: Systems and methods for grooved vias are described. For example, a method may include: drilling a via hole in a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), where the PCB comprises a first layer having a first trace and a second layer having a second trace, the via hole includes a first portion between the first layer and the second layer and a second portion between the second layer and a bottom surface of the PCB, and the via hole is configured to couple the first trace to the second trace through the first portion; after drilling the via hole, creating a rough internal surface in at least the second portion of the via hole that is configured to reduce a resonance of a signal transmitted from the first trace to the second trace; and forming a via by filling the first and second portions of the via hole with conductive material.
