ROBUST POWER PLANE CONFIGURATION IN PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS

摘要

A robust printed circuit board (PCB) that includes at least two power layers that are used in providing power to components connected to the PCB. The power layers may be a power plane layer and a ground plane layer. The power plane layer is situated such that its edge is pulled back a second distance from the planar edge of the PCB. The ground plane layer is situated such that its edge is pulled back a first distance from the planar edge of the PCB. The second distance and the first distance are different, and as a result, the planar edges of the power plane layer and the ground plane layer respectively do not coincide.
