Patent granted for printed circuit board with conductive trace
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12004288B2) discloses a printed circuit board (PCB) design that includes a substrate made up of layers of dielectric material, a conductive trace, a conductive via, and ground layers. The conductive trace runs parallel to the layers of dielectric material and is connected to a signal input via the conductive via. The ground layers, located at specific distances from the conductive trace, are designed to reflect signals and connect to a reference ground voltage. The PCB design aims to optimize signal transmission and minimize interference by utilizing specific layer thicknesses and configurations.
Furthermore, the patent describes how the PCB design can be used in a system involving a device interface board (DIB) for testing devices under test (DUTs). The DIB, constructed with similar PCB features including ground vias and conductors, acts as an interface between the DUTs and a test instrument. By incorporating specific ground layer configurations and impedance matching conductors, the system aims to enhance signal integrity and minimize signal loss during testing procedures. The innovative PCB design and system configuration outlined in the patent offer potential improvements in signal transmission efficiency and reliability in testing environments.
