Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting and compensating for expansion of rechargeable batteries over time. An expansion detector may be coupled to or positioned proximate a rechargeable battery to monitor for expansion thereof. After expansion exceeding a selected threshold is detected, the expansion detector may report the expansion to an associated processing unit. The processing unit may undertake to arrest further rechargeable battery expansion by modifying or changing one or more characteristics of charging and/or discharging circuitry coupled to the rechargeable battery. For example, the processing unit may charge the rechargeable battery at a lower rate or with reduced voltage after detecting expansion.

Abstract: System-in-package structures and methods of assembly are described. In an embodiment, a system-in-package includes opposing circuit boards, each including mounted components overlapping the mounted components of the opposing circuit board. A gap between the opposing circuit boards may be filled with a molding material, that additionally encapsulates the overlapping mounted components. In some embodiments, the opposing circuit boards are stacked on one another using one or more interposers that may provide mechanical or electrical connection.

Abstract: A system in package (SiP) is disclosed that uses an EMI shield to inhibit EMI or other electrical interference on the components within the SiP. A metal shield may be formed on an upper surface of an encapsulant encapsulating the SiP. The metal shield may be electrically coupled to a ground layer in a printed circuit board (PCB) to form the EMI shield around the SiP. The metal shield may be electrically coupled to the ground layer using one or more conductive structures located in the encapsulant. The conductive structures may be located on a perimeter of the components in the SiP. The conductive structures may provide a substantially vertical connection between the substrate and the shield on the upper surface of the encapsulant.

Abstract: Readily manufactured structures for sealing or encapsulating devices in system-in-a-package modules, such that the modules are easily assembled, have a low-profile, and are space efficient. One example may provide readily manufactured covers for SIP modules. These modules may be easily assembled by attaching the cover to a top side of a substrate. These SIP modules may have a low-profile, for example when their height is reduced using one or more recesses in a bottom surface of a top of the recess, where the one or more recesses are arranged to accept one or more components. These SIP modules may be made space efficient by placing an edge of a cover near an edge of the substrate and connecting the plating of the cover using side plating on, or vias through, the substrate.

Abstract translation: 随着时间的推移，可充电电池的扩展检测和补偿的方法和系统。 扩展检测器可以耦合到或靠近可再充电电池定位以监测其扩展。 在扩展超过所选择的阈值之后，扩展检测器可以将扩展报告给相关的处理单元。 处理单元可以通过修改或改变耦合到可再充电电池的充电和/或放电电路的一个或多个特性来进一步阻止进一步的充电电池膨胀。 例如，处理单元可以在检测到扩展后以较低的速率或降低的电压对可充电电池充电。

Abstract: Printed circuit boards (PCB) used to mechanically and electrically connect electrical components within an electronic device. Thin printed circuit boards (PCB) may be desirable to manufacturers and users of electronic devices. Accordingly, a process for manufacturing a printed circuit board may involve manufacturing a thin bilayer dielectric. The process may involve applying a first non-conductive layer to a metal substrate, and curing the first non-conductive layer to a C-stage resin layer that is fully cross-linked layer in a clean environment. In turn, a B-stage layer that is partially cured may be applied to the C-stage resin layer. Using a hot press, one or more metal traces may be pressed onto the B-stage layer. The B-stage resin layer may be fully cross-linked and integrated with the C-stage resin layer after lamination of the one or more metal traces and the B-stage resin layer.
