Support for integrated circuit e.g. processor incorporating voltage converter

摘要

The support (1) includes a printed circuit (14) with an array of tracks to connect each upper connection to each lower one (4), except the supply voltages and the clipped voltage converter. The connecting elements on the upper and lower surface are shifted diagonally relative to each other so the separation is less than that between two neighbouring diagonals. The voltage converter (10) is located in a region (20A) on the lower surface and has a decoupler (34) electrically connected below the voltage converter. The decoupler lies on the upper surface and is connected using component surface mounting procedure.
