    摘要: A MIDI/joystick breakout box is described which incorporates a shielded connector, a shielded cable, and a terminal block including a circuit board with an extensive ground plane surrounding the joystick connections and shielding the MIDI circuitry on at least three sides. The terminal block is a housing which acts as a radiation shield. The housing or terminal block may be made of an injected molded plastic material containing electrically conductive strands of metal or the housing may be plated or painted on its interior surfaces with an electrically conductive material to form a shielding layer which may then be further connected to the ground plane of the electronic circuit board contained within the terminal block housing. The terminal block provides connectors for MIDI-In, MIDI-Out MIDI-Thru and a pair of joystick interface connectors which allows the capability to connect both MIDI devices and two joysticks to the audio adapter card simultaneously.

    摘要: In a printed circuit board having a plural number of conductor layers separated by a plural number of insulator layers, a Faraday cage is constructed including a first and a second ground plane disposed in a first and second conductor layer respectively. The ground planes being electrically interconnected at their peripheries, preferably by a plurality of vias. A third conductor layer is disposed between the first and second conductor layers in which a plurality of signal paths are defined. The Faraday cage surrounds a shielded portion of the third conductor layer so that electrical signals conducted through the shielded portion are isolated from electrical noise. The invention finds particular application in a mixed digital/analog board separated into a digital section of the board having a digital ground plane defined in one of the conductor layers and a plurality of digital signal paths defined in another of the conductor layers and an analog section of the board having the Faraday cage and the shielded portion. Thus, the plurality of signal paths in the shielded region are intended for analog signals which are sensitive to digital noise. Additional conductor layers in the analog section can be added inside and outside the Faraday cage. Those analog signal paths located outside the cage are defined for analog signals which are less sensitive than analog signals in the shielded region. The board may be an audio card for a digital computer.
