摘要:
A system and method of integrated circuit control for in situ impedance measurement including a system with a plurality of functional partitions in a clocked logic type integrated circuit, the functional partitions having a communication controller and a modulation gate, the modulation gate receiving a clock signal and a modulation signal and generating a modulated clock signal for the functional partition; at least one of the communication controllers receiving an in-band signal and selectively communicating the in-band signal to the other communication controllers; and at least one of the functional partitions having a modulator, the modulator receiving the clock signal and a modulation control signal and generating the modulation signal.
摘要:
Manufacturing circuits with reference plane voids over vias with a strip segment interconnect permits routing critical signal paths over vias, while increasing via insertion capacitance only slightly. The transmission line reference plane defines voids above (or below) signal-bearing plated-through holes (PTHs) that pass through a rigid substrate core, so that the signals are not degraded by an impedance mismatch that would otherwise be caused by shunt capacitance from the top (or bottom) of the signal-bearing PTHs to the transmission line reference plane. In order to provide increased routing density, signal paths are routed over the voids, but disruption of the signal paths by the voids is prevented by including a conductive strip through the voids that reduces the coupling to the signal-bearing PTHs and maintains the impedance of the signal path conductor.

摘要:
An integrated circuit substrate is designed and fabricated with a selectively applied transmission line reference plane metal layer to achieve signal path shielding and isolation, while avoiding drops in impedance due to capacitance between large diameter vias and the transmission line reference plane metal layer. The transmission line reference plane defines voids above (or below) the signal-bearing plated-through holes (PTHs) that pass through a rigid substrate core, so that the signals are not degraded by an impedance mismatch that would otherwise be caused by shunt capacitance from the top (or bottom) of the signal-bearing PTHs to the transmission line reference plane. For voltage-plane bearing PTHs, no voids are introduced, so that signal path conductors can be routed above or adjacent to the voltage-plane bearing PTHs, with the transmission line reference plane preventing shunt capacitance between the signal path conductors and the PTHs.
