摘要:
An integrated circuit (“IC”) package having two or more dice stacked on a substrate and electrically coupled using two or more different connection technologies may improve high-speed input/output (“I/O”) bandwidth. In an embodiment, one die is a processor and at least one other die is a dynamic random access memory (“DRAM”). One or more of the dice may be thinned and placed between the substrate and a portion of one or more of the other dice, which may be horizontally offset. One or more of the dice may be embedded in the substrate. The dice may be coupled to each other and to the substrate using a combination of controlled-collapse chip connection (“C4”) and wirebonding connection technologies. Methods of fabrication, and application of the package to an electronic assembly and to an electronic system, are also described.

摘要:
Transmission line impedance matching is described for matching an impedance discontinuity on a transmission signal trace. The apparatus includes a transmission signal trace and a non-transmission trace. The transmission signal trace has an impedance discontinuity, a first length, and a predetermined first width. The non-transmission trace is disposed near the transmission signal trace at a region corresponding to the impedance discontinuity. The non-transmission trace has a second length that is substantially less than the first length of the transmission signal trace. Additionally, the non-transmission trace is configured to be electromagnetically coupled to the transmission signal trace in the presence of a current on the transmission signal trace to provide a matched impedance on the transmission signal trace.
摘要:
Trace configurations for carrying high-speed digital differential signals provide for reduced conduction loss and improved signal integrity. In one embodiment, a circuit board has a first set of conductive traces disposed on non-conductive material, and a second set of conductive traces parallel to the first set and disposed within the conductive material. The second set is separated from the first set by non-conductive material. Corresponding traces of the first and second sets may be in a stacked configuration. In other embodiments, conductive material may be provided between corresponding traces of the first and second sets resulting in an “I-shaped” or “U-shaped” cross-section. In yet other embodiments, the trace configurations have “T-shaped” and “L-shaped” cross-sections.
