A shunt connector is provided to electrically couple two electrical components mountable together via a grid array. The connector may provide mechanical support and provides a shunt electrical conduction path to increase current-carrying capacity between the electrical components of the grid array. In an embodiment, at least part of the shunt connector may extend within one of the electrical components so as to provide the shunt electrical conduction path.

An electronic assembly includes one or more discrete capacitors (506, 804, 1204), which are vertically connected to a housing, such as an integrated circuit package (1704). Surface mounted capacitors (506) are vertically connected to pads (602) on a top or bottom surface of the package. Embedded capacitors (804, 1204) are vertically connected to vias (808, 816, 1210, and/or 1212) or other conductive structures within the package. Vertically connecting a surface mounted or embedded capacitor involves aligning (1604) side segments (416) of some of the capacitor's terminals with the conductive structures (e.g., pads, vias or other structures) so that the side of the capacitor upon which the side segments reside is substantially parallel with the top or bottom surface of the package. Where a capacitor includes extended terminals (1208), the capacitor can be embedded so that the extended terminals provide additional current shunts through the package.

An optical-electrical (OE) package includes a substrate electrically coupled to a motherboard via one or more capacitor DC shunts (CDCSs). In one embodiment, the substrate includes an IC chip electrically coupled to a first set of contact-receiving members on an upper surface of the substrate. The substrate also includes a light-emitting package and a photodetector package electrically coupled to respective second and third sets of contact-receiving members on the substrate lower surface. The substrate has internal wiring that electrically interconnects the IC chip, the light-emitting package and the photodetector array. The light-emitting package and the photodetector array are optically coupled to respective first and second waveguide arrays formed in or on the motherboard. The CDCSs mitigate noise generated by the IC chip by serving as a local current source.

The invention provides an electronic assembly including a semiconductor chip and a semiconductor package substrate having power and ground shunts. The power and ground shunts of the semiconductor chip include contact pads on a surface thereof that are electrically connected to one another to protect electrical signal contacts on the contact pads from high, low-frequency current. The power shunt in the semiconductor package substrate connects one power plane to another and the ground shunts in the semiconductor package substrate connects one ground plane to another. The power and ground shunts in the semiconductor package substrate dictate terminal pins thereon from high, low-frequency current.

A series of plated through hole (PTH) vias are interconnected by traces that alternate between a top surface and a bottom surface of a dielectric board. The PTH vias in the series can be positioned to create a collinear inductive filter, a coil-type inductive filter, or a transformer. Multiple, electrically isolated series of interconnected PTH vias can be used as a multi-phase inductive filter in one embodiment. In another embodiment, multiple series of interconnected PTH vias are electrically connected by a linking portion of conductive material, resulting in a low-resistance inductive filter. Ferromagnetic material patterns can be embedded in the dielectric board to enhance the inductive characteristics of the interconnected via structures. In one embodiment, a closed-end pattern is provided with two series of interconnected vias coiling around the pattern, resulting in an embedded transformer structure. A method of producing an interconnected series of PTH vias includes providing a dielectric board having a series of holes. In some embodiments, the board includes an embedded ferromagnetic material pattern. The holes and the top and bottom surface of the dielectric board have a conductive material thereupon. Portions of the conductive material are selectively removed, resulting in the embedded inductive filter and/or transformer structure.
