[0053] In order to explain the technical content and structural features of the present application in detail, the following further describes the embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0054] It should be noted that the terms "top", "bottom", "up", "down", "inside" and "outside" used in this application to express orientation and positional relationships are only used to facilitate the description of this application and should not be construed as limiting this application. Among them, one of the two outermost layers in the multiple sub-layers of the PCB board structure is the bottom layer, and the other is the top layer, that is, the bottom layer defined in this application can also be defined as the top layer, and correspondingly, the top layer defined in this application can also be defined as the bottom layer, and the two are relative; in addition, this application defines the direction in which the TypeC connector is inserted as "inside" and the opposite direction as "outside".
[0055] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the present application discloses a PCB board structure for placing a Type C connector.
[0056] The PCB board structure is a laminated structure including multiple sub-layers, including a top layer L1 and a bottom layer L8. In the example shown in the drawings, the PCB board structure includes eight sub-layers, but is not limited thereto.
[0057] The top layer L1 is provided with a first group of Typec pads, and the bottom layer L8 is provided with a second group of Typec pads. The first group of Typec pads includes a first row of Typec pads 1 located on the outside and a second row of Typec pads 2 located on the inside. The second group of Typec pads includes a third row of Typec pads 3 located on the outside and a fourth row of Typec pads 4 located on the inside.
[0058] The first row of Typec pads 1 and the third row of Typec pads 3 correspond to each other up and down (the up and down correspondence does not mean that the positions completely overlap, but that the positions are relative as a whole. In fact, the two are arranged alternately), and the Typec pads of the first row of Typec pads 1 and the Typec pads of the third row of Typec pads 3 are arranged alternately along the arrangement direction, the second row of Typec pads 2 and the fourth row of Typec pads 4 correspond to each other up and down, and the Typec pads of the second row of Typec pads 2 and the Typec pads of the fourth row of Typec pads 4 are arranged alternately along the arrangement direction; the arrangement directions of the first row of Typec pads 1 and the third row of Typec pads 3 are opposite, and the arrangement directions of the second row of Typec pads 2 and the fourth row of Typec pads 4 are opposite. That is, in the arrangement direction, the arrangement order of the Typec pads of the first row of Typec pads 1 and the Typec pads of the third row of Typec pads 3 is from one side to the other: the GND pad of the first row of Typec pads 1, the GND pad of the third row of Typec pads 3, the RX1+ pad of the first row of Typec pads 1, the TX2+ pad of the third row of Typec pads 3, the RX1- pad of the first row of Typec pads 1, the TX2- pad of the third row of Typec pads 3, the VBUS pad of the first row of Typec pads 1, the VBUS pad of the third row of Typec pads 3, the SBU2 pad of the first row of Typec pads 1, the CC2 pad of the third row of Typec pads 3, the DN pad of the first row of Typec pad 1, DP pad of the third row of Typec pad 3, DP pad of the first row of Typec pad 1, DN pad of the third row of Typec pad 3, CC2 pad of the first row of Typec pad 1, SBU2 pad of the third row of Typec pad 3, VBUS pad of the first row of Typec pad 1, VBUS pad of the third row of Typec pad 3, TX2- pad of the first row of Typec pad 1, RX1- pad of the third row of Typec pad 3, TX2+ pad of the first row of Typec pad 1, RX1+ pad of the third row of Typec pad 3, GND pad of the first row of Typec pad 1, GND pad of the third row of Typec pad 3.Similarly, in the arrangement direction, the arrangement order of the Typec pads of the second row of Typec pads 2 and the Typec pads of the fourth row of Typec pads 4 is from one side to the other: the GND pad of the fourth row of Typec pads 4, the GND pad of the second row of Typec pads 2, the RX2+ pad of the fourth row of Typec pads 4, the TX1+ pad of the second row of Typec pads 2, the RX2- pad of the fourth row of Typec pads 4, the TX1- pad of the second row of Typec pads 2, the VBUS pad of the fourth row of Typec pads 4, the VBUS pad of the second row of Typec pads 2, the SBU1 pad of the fourth row of Typec pads 4, the CC1 pad of the second row of Typec pads 2, the DN pads of the fourth row of Typec pads 4, DP pads of the second row of Typec pads 2, DP pads of the fourth row of Typec pads 4, DN pads of the second row of Typec pads 2, CC1 pads of the fourth row of Typec pads 4, SBU1 pads of the second row of Typec pads 2, VBUS pads of the fourth row of Typec pads 4, VBUS pads of the second row of Typec pads 2, TX1- pads of the fourth row of Typec pads 4, RX2- pads of the second row of Typec pads 2, TX1+ pads of the fourth row of Typec pads 4, RX2+ pads of the second row of Typec pads 2, GND pads of the fourth row of Typec pads 4, and GND pads of the second row of Typec pads 2. It should be noted that "alternating arrangement" in this application does not mean that adjacent pads must be completely staggered in the arrangement direction.
[0059] DIP holes 10 are provided on both sides of the first group of Typec pads and the second group of Typec pads. Each DIP hole 10 can be used for the pins (not shown) of the same Typec connector 9 to be inserted from its upper side and from its lower side. When the Typec connector 9 is placed from the upper side, it is soldered to the first group of Typec pads, and when it is placed from the lower side, it is soldered to the second group of Typec pads. In other words, the Typec connector 9 can share the DIP hole 10 when it is placed from the upper side of the PCB board structure and when it is placed from the lower side of the PCB board structure. The pins of the Typec connector 9 are the pins of the metal shell of the Typec connector 9.
[0060] At present, it is somewhat difficult for factories to place components on both sides of the PCB board structure with DIP holes 10; the level of solder paste also determines the placement position of the Type-c connector 9, so when designing the steel mesh file, the DIP hole 10 on the past layer needs to be specially processed. For example, when placing components on the top layer L1, the past layer at the corresponding position of the bottom layer L8 needs to be deleted; similarly, when placing components on the bottom layer L8, the past layer at the corresponding position of the top layer L1 needs to be deleted. This method ensures that the DIP hole will not be blocked by the solder paste on the other side when the components are placed in the furnace at the factory end, resulting in the inability to place the Type-c connector 9 on the different side.
[0061] The first group of Type-c pads and the second group of Type-c pads can achieve circuit connection through multiple sub-layers. In other words, whether the Type-c connector 9 is placed from the upper side or the lower side of the PCB board structure, the circuit layout of the PCB board structure on multiple sub-layers (component layout, surface routing combined with via connection, etc., vias can include through holes and blind holes, etc.) can be used to achieve the circuit connection required by the Type-c connector 9.
[0062] It should be noted that in this application, there is no restriction on the number of sub-layers, nor is there any restriction on the circuit layout on the PCB board structure. As long as the Typec connector 9 is placed on the top layer L1 or the bottom layer L8, normal circuit connection can be achieved through the first group of Typec pads and the corresponding circuit layout or the second group of Typec pads and the corresponding circuit layout.
[0063] The present application is provided with a first row of Typec pads 1 and a third row of Typec pads 3 corresponding to each other on the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8 of the PCB board structure, and a second row of Typec pads 2 and a fourth row of Typec pads 4 corresponding to each other on the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8, respectively. The Typec pads of the first row of Typec pads 1 and the Typec pads of the third row of Typec pads 3 are arranged alternately along the arrangement direction, and the Typec pads of the second row of Typec pads 2 and the Typec pads of the fourth row of Typec pads 4 are arranged alternately along the arrangement direction; moreover, the arrangement directions of the first row of Typec pads 1 and the third row of Typec pads 3 are opposite, and the arrangement directions of the second row of Typec pads 2 and the fourth row of Typec pads 4 are opposite. In addition, the DIP holes 10 provided in the PCB board structure can allow the pins of the same Typec connector 9 to be inserted from its upper side and from its lower side. When the Typec connector 9 is placed from the upper side, it is soldered to the first group of Typec pads, and when it is placed from the lower side, it is soldered to the second group of Typec pads. The first group of Typec pads and the second group of Typec pads can be connected to each other through multiple sublayers. By means of the above-mentioned technical means, the present application can selectively place the Type-c connector 9 at the corresponding position of the top layer L1 or bottom layer L8 of the same PCB board structure. In other words, the present application can meet the needs of different development projects and place the Type-c connector 9 at the top layer L1 or bottom layer L8 of the same PCB board structure, without having to develop different PCB board structures according to different development projects. On the basis of being able to selectively place the components on the upper side or the lower side, combined with the corresponding wiring settings of the multiple sub-layers of the PCB board structure, the line connection of the Type-c connector 9 placed on the upper side or the Type-c connector 9 placed on the lower side can be achieved.
[0064] In some embodiments, the RX1+ pad, RX1- pad, TX2+ pad, and TX2- pad in the first row of Type-c pads 1 are respectively connected to two pairs of first high-speed traces H1 on the top layer L1 trace. The two pairs of first high-speed traces H1 are respectively routed from relatively close DIP holes 10 and adjacent GND pads in the second row of Type-c pads 2 to the inner side of the second row of Type-c pads 2; each GND pad in the first row of Type-c pads 1 and the second row of Type-c pads 2 is independently grounded. The RX1+ pad, RX1- pad, TX2+ pad, and TX2- pad in the third row of Type-c pads 3 are respectively connected to two pairs of third high-speed traces H3 on the bottom layer L8 trace. The two pairs of third high-speed traces H3 are respectively routed from relatively close DIP holes 10 and adjacent GND pads in the fourth row of Type-c pads 4 to the inner side of the fourth row of Type-c pads 4; each GND pad in the third row of Type-c pads 3 and the fourth row of Type-c pads 4 is independently grounded.
[0065] It's important to note that the "RX1+ pad, RX1- pad, TX2+ pad, and TX2- pad are each connected to the two pairs of first high-speed traces H1 on the top layer L1" does not restrict first high-speed trace H1 to routing only on the top layer L1. It can also be routed on both the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8, with the RX1+ pad, RX1- pad, TX2+ pad, and TX2- pad each connected to the portion of first high-speed trace H1 on the top layer L1. Similarly, the "RX1+ pad, RX1- pad, TX2+ pad, and TX2- pad are each connected to the two pairs of third high-speed traces H3 on the bottom layer L8" does not restrict third high-speed trace H3 to routing only on the bottom layer L8. It can also be routed on both the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8, with the RX1+ pad, RX1- pad, TX2+ pad, and TX2- pad each connected to the portion of third high-speed trace H3 on the bottom layer L8.
[0066] Because the existing routing method for the RX1+ pad, RX1- pad, TX2+ pad, and TX2- pad all uses through-holes to change layers for routing, and adjacent GND pads are connected to the same ground plate for grounding, when the first group of Type-C pads is provided on the top layer L1 of the PCB structure and the second group of Type-C pads is provided on the bottom layer L8, the RX1+ pad, RX1- pad, TX2+ pad, and TX2- pad located outside the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8 cannot be routed. In this application, the RX1+ pad, RX1- pad, TX2+ pad, and TX2- pad on the top layer L1 are connected to two pairs of first high-speed traces H1 and are respectively routed from the relatively close DIP hole 10 and the adjacent GND pads in the second row of Typec pads 2 to the inner side of the second row of Typec pads 2, and each GND pad in the first row of Typec pads 1 and the second row of Typec pads 2 are independently grounded; the RX1+ pad, RX1- pad, TX2+ pad, and TX2- pad on the bottom layer L8 are connected to the two pairs of first high-speed traces H1 and are respectively routed from the relatively close DIP hole 10 and the adjacent GND pads in the second row of Typec pads 2 to the inner side of the second row of Typec pads 2, and each GND pad in the first row of Typec pads 1 and the second row of Typec pads 2 are independently ground The pads and TX2-pads connect two pairs of third high-speed traces H3 and are respectively routed from the relatively close DIP holes 10 and the adjacent GND pads in the fourth row of Typec pads 4 to the inner side of the fourth row of Typec pads 4, and each GND pad in the third row of Typec pads 3 and the fourth row of Typec pads 4 is independently grounded; thereby, the RX1+ pad, RX1- pad, TX2+ pad, and TX2- pad of the bottom layer L8 and the top layer L1 of this application can all be routed at high speed.
[0067] Specifically, multiple sublayers include a first GND layer L2 adjacent to the top layer L1 and a second GND layer L7 adjacent to the bottom layer L8; the top layer L1 is provided with grounding plates G on both sides of the first group of Typec pads and the bottom layer L8 is provided with grounding plates G on both sides of the second group of Typec pads, and the DIP holes 10 on both sides are connected to the grounding plates G of the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8 and the first GND layer L2 and the second GND layer L7; the GND pads in the first row of Typec pads 1 and the GND pads in the third row of Typec pads 3 are respectively connected to adjacent grounding plates G; the GND pads in the second row of Typec pads 2 and the adjacent GND pads in the fourth row of Typec pads 4 are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the same grounding through-hole K1 through wiring, and the grounding through-hole K1 is connected to the first GND layer L2 and the second GND layer L7. Through the above technical means, under the premise of achieving grounding of each GND pad, it is beneficial to limit the number of openings. It is understandable that the method of grounding each GND pad in the present application is not limited to the above method, as long as the purpose of grounding each GND pad can be achieved. For example, the GND pad can also be grounded by drilling a blind hole.
[0068] It should be noted that the definition of a GND layer in this application does not imply that there are no other structures on the same layer. In addition, the PCB structure may include other GND layers in addition to the first GND layer L2 and the second GND layer L7, and this application does not limit this.
[0069] Specifically, multiple sublayers include a first GND layer L2 adjacent to the top layer L1 and a second GND layer L7 adjacent to the bottom layer L8; the RX2+ pad, RX2- pad, TX1+ pad, and TX1- pad in the second row of Typec pads 2 are respectively connected to two pairs of second high-speed traces H2 of the top layer L1; the RX2+ pad, RX2- pad, TX1+ pad, and TX1- pad in the fourth row of Typec pads 4 are respectively connected to two pairs of fourth high-speed traces H4 of the bottom layer L8; the top layer L1 is provided with corresponding resistors, capacitors, and electrostatic protection devices on the paths of the two pairs of first high-speed traces H1 and the two pairs of second high-speed traces H2, and the top layer L1 is also provided with a first chip X1, two pairs of first high-speed traces H1 and two pairs of second high-speed traces H2 are respectively connected to the first chip X1; the bottom layer L8 is respectively provided with corresponding resistors, capacitors and electrostatic protection devices on the paths of two pairs of third high-speed traces H3 and two pairs of fourth high-speed traces H4. The bottom layer L8 is also provided with a second chip X2, and the two pairs of third high-speed traces H3 and two pairs of fourth high-speed traces H4 are respectively connected to the second chip X2; the high-speed traces are completely routed on the top layer L1 or the bottom layer L8, or the high-speed traces are simultaneously routed on the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8 and connected through the high-speed line through hole K2 (that is, for each high-speed trace, it can be routed only on the top layer L1 or the bottom layer L8 as needed, or it can be routed on the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8 at the same time).
[0070] Through the above technical means, the line connection of all RX pads and TX pads of the top layer L1 and all RX pads and TX pads of the bottom layer L8 is realized. In addition, since the high-speed lines are completely routed on the top layer L1 or the bottom layer L8, or the high-speed lines are routed on the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8 at the same time and connected through at least one high-speed line through hole K2, the reliable transmission of high-speed signals can be guaranteed.
[0071] It's important to note that the phrase "RX2+ pad, RX2- pad, TX1+ pad, and TX1- pad are connected to the two pairs of second high-speed traces H2 on the top layer L1" doesn't restrict H2 to routing only on the top layer L1. It can also route both on the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8, with the RX2+ pad, RX2- pad, TX1+ pad, and TX1- pad connected to the portion of the second high-speed trace H2 on the top layer L1. Similarly, the phrase "RX2+ pad, RX2- pad, TX1+ pad, and TX1- pad are connected to the two pairs of fourth high-speed traces H4 on the bottom layer L8" doesn't restrict H4 to routing only on the bottom layer L8. It can also route both on the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8, with the RX2+ pad, RX2- pad, TX1+ pad, and TX1- pad connected to the portion of the fourth high-speed trace H4 on the bottom layer L8.
[0072] In a specific example, the top layer L1 is provided with a ground resistor R1, a capacitor C, an electrostatic protection device E, a zero-ohm resistor R0, etc. (to achieve jumper connection) along the paths of two pairs of first high-speed traces H1 and two pairs of second high-speed traces H2. In this example, one pair of first high-speed traces H1 and two pairs of second high-speed traces H2 are routed entirely on the top layer L1. The other pair of first high-speed traces H1 is routed to the bottom layer L8 through high-speed line vias K2, and then through another high-speed line via K2 back to the top layer L1, and ultimately connected to the first chip X1.
[0073] On the bottom layer L8, ground resistors R1, capacitors C, electrostatic protection devices E, and zero-ohm resistors R0 are provided along the paths of the two pairs of third high-speed traces H3 and the two pairs of fourth high-speed traces H4 (to achieve jumper connections). In this example, the two pairs of third high-speed traces H3 and the two pairs of fourth high-speed traces H4 are routed to the top layer L1 through high-speed line vias K2, then return to the bottom layer L8 through another high-speed line via K2, and ultimately connect to the second chip X2.
[0074] It is understandable that this application does not limit the routing method of high-speed wiring, the setting of chips and other devices, etc. Technical personnel in this field can adopt various different methods as long as normal functions can be achieved through line connection.

[0078] A first VBUS through hole K3 is provided at the position corresponding to the adjacent first VBUS trace V1 and the second VBUS trace V2 (that is, the first VBUS trace V1 and the second VBUS trace have upper and lower facing parts to set a common first VBUS through hole K3), and the adjacent first VBUS trace V1 and the second VBUS trace V2 are connected to the VBUS layer through the first VBUS through hole K3.
[0079] A second VBUS through hole K4 is provided at the position corresponding to the adjacent first VBUS connecting piece P1 and the second VBUS connecting piece P2 (that is, there are upper and lower opposite parts of the first VBUS connecting piece P1 and the second VBUS connecting piece P2 to set a common second VBUS through hole K4), and the adjacent first VBUS connecting piece P1 and the second VBUS connecting piece P2 are connected to the VBUS layer through the second VBUS through hole K4.
[0080] The first VBUS connecting piece P1 and the second VBUS connecting piece P2 are respectively connected to the VBUS capacitor Cv, and the VBUS capacitor Cv is grounded (the grounding method is not shown). Regarding the specific method of grounding the VBUS capacitor Cv, this application does not limit it, as long as grounding can be achieved. For example, the VBUS capacitor Cv connected to the first VBUS connecting piece P1 and the VBUS capacitor Cv connected to the second VBUS connecting piece P2 can be respectively connected to a trace, and the traces of the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8 have a portion that is directly opposite to each other and a through hole is set at this position to connect to the GND layer through the through hole.
[0081] Through the above technical means, the present application can realize the line connection of all VBUS pads of the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8, and basically will not affect the line setting of other pads.
[0082] It should be noted that the definition of the VBUS layer in this application does not mean that there are no other structures on the same layer. In addition, in addition to the VBUS layer, this application can also set up VBUS supplementary structures in other layers as needed, and the two can be connected through through holes.

The other is located at a third blind hole K10 and is connected to the corresponding winding of the corresponding middle sub-layer through the third blind hole K10. Through this technical means, the CC2 pads in the adjacent first row of Type-C pads 1 and the SBU2 pads in the adjacent third row of Type-C pads 3 can both be wired out, and thus line connection can be made.
[0091] Specifically, the CC2 pad in the first row of Typec pads 1 is connected to the third through-hole K9 through the third trace 13 and is connected to the corresponding winding of the corresponding middle sub-layer through the third through-hole K9. The SBU2 pad in the third row of Typec pads 3 is located at a third blind hole K10 and is connected to the corresponding winding of the corresponding middle sub-layer through the third blind hole K10.

[0093] In some embodiments, one of the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8 is provided with a first OVP protection chip O; the first OVP protection chip O is connected to the first group of zero-ohm resistors R0 through different routing lines located on the same layer, and the routing lines corresponding to the SBU pads and CC pads of one of the first group of Typec pads and the second group of Typec pads are connected to the first OVP protection chip O through the first group of zero-ohm resistors R0, thereby realizing the line connection of the corresponding SBU pads and CC pads.
[0094] Through holes K11 are respectively provided at the locations of different routings between the first OVP protection chip O and the first group of zero-ohm resistors R0, and a second group of zero-ohm resistors R0 is provided on the other of the top layer L1 and the bottom layer L8.

[0095] Through the above technical means, the SBU pads and CC pads in the first group of Type-c pads and the second group of Type-c pads can be connected to the same OVP protection chip O, without the need to set up OVP protection chips O for the first group of Type-c pads and the second group of Type-c pads respectively. Of course, the present application can also set up corresponding OVP protection chips O for the first group of Type-c pads and the second group of Type-c pads respectively.
[0096] Specifically, to facilitate routing, each SBU pad and CC pad is routed through a layer-changing method using vias and is ultimately connected to the first set of zero-ohm resistors R0 or the second set of zero-ohm resistors R0.

The first GND layer L2 is hollowed out at the location of at least some of the devices on the high-speed routing path on the corresponding top layer L1, and a reference GND is provided for the intermediate sublayer adjacent to the first GND layer L2 among the plurality of intermediate sublayers. The second GND layer L7 is hollowed out at the location of at least some of the devices on the high-speed routing path on the corresponding bottom layer L8, and a reference GND is provided for the intermediate sublayer adjacent to the second GND layer L7 among the plurality of intermediate sublayers.
[0099] It should be noted that "at least part of the multiple intermediate sublayers are provided with SBU1 winding, SBU2 winding, CC1 winding, CC2 winding, DP winding and DN winding" means that any one of the SBU1 winding, SBU2 winding, CC1 winding, CC2 winding, DP winding and DN winding is provided in at least part of the multiple intermediate sublayers, and does not limit at least part of the intermediate sublayers to be provided with SBU1 winding, SBU2 winding, CC1 winding, CC2 winding, DP winding and DN winding at the same time.

At the same time, by hollowing out the corresponding positions of the first GND layer L2 and the second GND layer L7, and setting reference GNDs on the intermediate sublayers adjacent to the first GND layer L2 and the second GND layer L7, respectively, it is conducive to the reliable transmission of high-speed signals.
