摘要: An information handling system includes a printed circuit board, a surface mount connector including first and second surface mount connector portions, first and second different pairs, and a ground plane. The first and second surface mount connector portions are mounted on the printed circuit board. The first differential pair is located on the first surface mount connector portion, and the second differential pair is located on the second surface mount connector portion. The ground plane is located in between the first and second surface mount connector portions within the printed circuit board. The first ground via is in physical communication with the ground plane and a first ground pad on a surface of the printed circuit board. The second ground via is in physical communication with the ground plane and a second ground pad on the surface of the printed circuit board.

摘要: Embodiments described herein relate to a method for modifying transmission line characteristics. The method may include: making a first determination of a null frequency of an input signal to a transmission line; performing an analysis to make a second determination of a wavelength of the input signal using, at least in part, the null frequency; making a third determination, based on the analysis, of a half wavelength of the input signal; calculating, based on the half wavelength, a total stub length; and adding a trace to a stub associated with a via, wherein the stub and the trace are a length that is at least a portion of the half wavelength of the input signal.

摘要: In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may determine a first height of a first eye diagram of a differential pair of circuit board traces of a circuit board of an information handling system; may determine a first width of the first eye diagram; may transfer a liquid above an area of the circuit board; may provide a differential signal to the differential pair; may determine a second height of a second eye diagram of the differential pair; may determine a second width of the second eye diagram; may determine at least one of that the second height is less than the first height by at least a first threshold and that the second width is less than the first width by at least a second threshold; and may provide information that indicates a presence of the liquid on the circuit board.

摘要: A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) device includes an on-die termination (ODT) controller including an input to receive an ODT signal from a memory controller, and ODT circuitry to terminate an interface circuit, the interface circuit to provide a data signal between the memory controller and the DRAM device. The ODT controller is configured in a first impedance switching mode to terminate the interface circuit at a first impedance level in response to a first state of the ODT signal, to terminate the interface circuit at a second impedance level in response to a second state of the ODT signal, and to terminate the interface circuit at a third impedance level in response to a change in the ODT signal from the first state to the second state, the third impedance level being between the first impedance level and the second impedance level.

摘要: A multi-layer PCB has conductive vias (134) passing through multiple layers. A layer may have a conductive non-functional feature (710) physically contacting a via but not surrounding the via, to make the PCB more resistant to thermal stresses while, at the same time, reducing the parasitic capacitance compared to a prior art non-functional pad (310n).

摘要: A circuit board assembly of an information handling system has stepped diameter vias that carry communication signals through printed circuit board (PCB) substrates. Each stepped diameter via has a first barrel portion of a first diameter that is drilled through a first portion of the PCB substrates and that is at least lined with a conductive material to electrically conduct a selected one of: (i) a direct current and (ii) a communication signal from an outer layer to an internal layer of the more than one PCB substrate. Each stepped diameter via further includes a second barrel portion that extends from the first barrel portion deeper into the PCB substrates. The second barrel portion has a second diameter that is less than the first diameter and the smaller second diameter improves signal integrity (SI).

摘要: A circuit board pad mounting orientation system includes a board. A signal transmission line is included on the board. A plurality of connector pads are positioned on the board. At least one connector pad receives the signal transmission line adjacent a first end of that connector pad. At least one connector pad includes a second end that provides a reduction in a width of that connector pad to indicate a mounting orientation for coupling to the connector pad that receives the signal transmission line. In a specific example, a first connector pad receives the signal transmission line, includes the first end, and includes the second end that is opposite the first connector pad from the first end and that provides the reduction in the width of the first connector pad to indicate the mounting orientation for coupling to the first connector pad.
