    摘要: The present invention relates to computer hardware design and in particular to a printed circuit board comprising wiring dedicated to supply electric board components such as integrated circuits with at least three different reference planes. In order to provide a printed circuit board having an improved signal return path for basically all relevant signal layers at transitions between card, connector, module and chip while still holding the cross-section structure simple, it is proposed to establish a layer structure whereina) a split voltage plane is located adjacent to one side of one of said reference planes and comprises conducting portions for all of said at least three different voltage levels in respective plane parts, andb) a signal layer being located adjacent to said reference planes.

    摘要: A clock generator circuit for generating synchronization signals for a multiple chip system. The clock generator circuit comprises generation of a synchronization signal from a reference clock and chip global clock with edge detection logic. In high performance server system design with multiple chips, a common practice for server systems is to use feedback clock and delayed reference clock to generate the synchronization signal. The generated synchronization signal is transferred to latches clocked by the global clock to be used for chip synchronization functions. As the system clock frequency is pushed higher, the phase difference between generated synchronization signal clocked by feedback clock and receiving latch clocked by global clock is becoming such a large portion of cycle time that this signal cannot be transferred deterministically. This invention resolves the uncertainty problem and allows the synchronization signals to be generated deterministically independent of the chip global clock cycle time.
