Abstract: Presented herein is a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly with an absorber having a perforated structure. The absorber is positioned between a trace of a PCB and a connector that couples the PCB to an enclosure. The absorber includes a perforated structure to maintain an integrity of a signal propagated along the trace, while improving electromagnetic interference and/or electromagnetic compatibility properties.

Abstract: Channel predictive behavior and fault analysis may be provided. A forward time value may be determined comprising a time a forward signal takes to travel from a transmitter over a channel to the receiver. Next, a reflected time value may be determined comprising a time a reflected signal takes to travel to the receiver. The reflected signal may be associated with the forward signal. A discontinuity may then be determined to exist on the channel based on the forward time value and the reflected time value. The reflected signal may be caused by the discontinuity and a high impedance or low impedance at the transmitter present after the forward signal is sent.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB includes a plurality of through-holes extending through the PCB between a PCB first surface and a PCB second surface that opposes the PCB first surface, where each through-hole includes a via extending from the PCB first surface to a depth within the through-hole that is distanced from the PCB second surface. An integrated circuit surface mount is connected at the PCB first surface with vias of the through-holes, and a cable interconnect assembly is surface mount connected at the PCB second surface. The cable interconnect assembly includes a plurality of contact pins, each contact pin extending within a corresponding through-hole and having a sufficient dimension to engage and electrically connect with the via of the corresponding through-hole so as to facilitate exchange of an electrical signal between the integrated circuit and the cable interconnect assembly.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method generally comprises importing a layout identifying routing information for a plurality of differential pair traces on a printed circuit board at a skew assessment module, receiving values for a plurality of skew parameters associated with fiber weave skew, receiving variation parameters from a database comprising data collected on fiber weave variation for one or more of the skew parameters, calculating a skew estimate for the printed circuit board based on the skew parameters and the variation parameters at the skew assessment module, and determining if the skew estimate is within a specified skew allowance for the printed circuit board.

Abstract: Techniques are provided to mitigate serializer-deserializer performance limiting positive/negative (P/N) skew issues in high-speed cable channels. This may be achieved by adding stripes with low/high dielectric constant (dk) material compared to the main dielectric surrounding cable wires. By adding strips/stripes in the main dielectric, a non-homogeneous dielectric structure is created, and this results in greater coupling between the signal conductors in the cable, which in turn reduces skew impact. This may be useful in twinaxial cables as well as stripline printed circuit boards.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus, includes a pad of a printed circuit board (PCB) configured to couple to an electrical component separate from the PCB and a via formed through the pad. The via is offset from a center of the pad such that a distance between the via and a most adjacent trace electrically separate from the via is above a threshold distance.

Abstract: Provide for herein is an apparatus that includes multiple printed circuit board (PCB) layers and a via assembly. The via assembly includes a signal via extending through the multiple layers, and the signal via is configured to transmit a signal between the layers. The via assembly also includes a capacitive structure connected to the signal via to adjust an impedance of the via assembly along the via assembly. The capacitive structure is physically and electrically separate from other components of the PCB.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an integrated circuit (IC) includes multiple packages that are separate from one another. Each package includes a pad, and a core via is electrically coupled to the pads of the separate packages to electrically couple the packages to one another. At least one of the pads includes an oblong shape to match its impedance with the impedance of the core via.
