Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0035] Reference to“an embodiment” herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment. The appearances of the phrase“in one embodiment” in various places in the specification are not necessarily referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. As will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0036] Figure 1 A top view structural schematic diagram of the circuit structure 1 for improving ESD protection capability in an embodiment of the utility model is shown, for the convenience of explanation, only the content related to the embodiment of the utility model is shown.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , it is a top view structural schematic diagram of the circuit structure 1 for improving ESD protection capability in an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 It can be the top view of the side of the surface layer 110 of the circuit structure 1 (hereinafter referred to as: circuit structure 1) for improving ESD protection capability.

[0038] As Figure 1 shown, the circuit structure 1 includes a printed circuit board 100 and an ESD protection structure 104, the ESD protection structure 104 is arranged on the printed circuit board 100, for guiding the static electricity conducted to the printed circuit board to the ground, wherein the first predetermined area 130 of the surface layer 110 of the printed circuit board 100 is provided with a slot 105, and at least two rows of ground holes 106, the first predetermined area 130 is the area between the grounding position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104 and the first functional device 102 arranged on the printed circuit board 100, wherein the first functional device 102 is a functional device arranged on the side of the grounding position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104, the slot 105 and the at least two rows of ground holes 106 penetrate the surface layer 110 of the printed circuit board 100, and the at least two rows of ground holes 106 are connected to the ground.

[0039] Therefore, in the present application, the slot 105 is arranged between the grounding position 101 of the ESD protection structure and the first functional device 102, so as to reduce the possibility of ESD spreading along the edge of the circuit board. By arranging the slot at the position, the energy of the ESD can be guided away from the sensitive devices in the circuit. In some cases, the slot 105 can also improve the heat dissipation performance of the circuit board, so as to indirectly improve the tolerance of the circuit board to temperature changes, and thus improve the resistance to ESD. At least two rows of ground holes 106 are arranged in the first preset area 130, so as to increase the grounding connection points on the circuit board, so that the charge of the ESD can be discharged to the ground through these connection points, without being conducted to the functional devices, such as the first functional device 102, mounted on the printed circuit board 100, so as to prevent the charge of the ESD from being conducted to other devices in the printed circuit board 100, and thus reduce the influence on the circuit.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the two rows of ground holes 106 are arranged between the slot 105 and the grounding position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104, that is, the slot 105 is closer to the first functional device 102. The arrangement direction of each row of ground holes 106 can be the same as the extension direction of the slot 105, and each row of ground holes 106 can be uniformly distributed. The two rows of ground holes 106 can be staggered by a certain distance, that is, each ground hole 106 in one row of ground holes 106 can correspond to the position of the gap between two ground holes 106 in the other row of ground holes 106, and staggered with each other, so as to reduce the mutual interference between the ground holes. A certain distance is also arranged between each ground hole 106 in each row of ground holes 106, so as to ensure the mutual isolation between the ground holes. The distance between each ground hole 106 in each row of ground holes 106 and the distance between each row of ground holes 106 can be designed according to the actual situation of the circuit structure, and is not limited here. In some embodiments, the arrangement direction of the two rows of ground holes 106 can also be different from the extension direction of the slot 105, for example, having an included angle with the extension direction of the slot 105. In some embodiments, the at least two rows of ground holes 106 can also be three rows of ground holes 106, four rows of ground holes 106, and the like. The arrangement direction and the number of the two rows of ground holes 106 can also be adjusted as needed.

[0041] The first functional device 102 and the like mounted on the printed circuit board 100 are mounted on the side of the surface layer 110 of the printed circuit board 100. For example, a pin hole (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the side of the surface layer 110 of the printed circuit board 100, the pin hole at least passes through the surface layer 110, and the pin of the first functional device 102 and the like can be inserted into the pin hole from the side of the surface layer 110 of the printed circuit board 100, so as to be mounted on the side of the surface layer 110 of the printed circuit board 100.

[0042] Therefore, by opening the slot 105 in the first preset area 130 of the surface layer 110 of the printed circuit board 100 and arranging the at least two rows of ground holes 106, the electrostatic charge of the ESD protection structure 104 can be effectively prevented from being conducted to the first functional device 102 and other functional devices through the surface layer 110.

[0043] The ground hole 106 can be a hole extending between the surface layer 110 of the printed circuit board 100 and a ground layer (not shown in the figure) of the printed circuit board 100 and electrically connecting the surface layer 110 and the ground layer. For example, the hole wall of the ground hole 106 is plated with a conductive material, such as a conductive copper foil, to achieve conductivity. The ground hole 106 provides a conductive path between the surface layer 110 and the ground layer, so that the electrostatic discharge charge can be discharged to the ground through the ground hole 106, and further prevented from being conducted to other functional devices through the surface layer 110.

[0044] The ground layer of the printed circuit board 100 can be a layer providing a ground potential / zero potential.

[0045] In some embodiments, the ESD protection structure 104 includes a TVS diode and a capacitor unit connected in series, or a TVS diode and an inductor unit connected in parallel.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 , which is a structural schematic diagram of the ESD protection structure 1 in an embodiment of the utility model. As shown in Figure 2 , the ESD protection structure 104 includes a TVS diode 104a and a capacitor unit 104b, wherein the TVS diode 104a and the capacitor unit 104b are connected in series. The ESD protection structure 104 can be connected between the electrostatic input area Q1 and the ground GND, so that the electrostatic input by the electrostatic input area Q1 can be conducted to the ground GND through the ESD protection structure 104.

[0047] The ground GND can be a ground layer of the printed circuit board 100. The electrostatic input area Q1 can be an area or part that can generate static electricity.

[0048] The capacitor unit 104b can include one or more capacitors C1, for example, one capacitor C1, or multiple capacitors connected in series and / or parallel. The capacitor unit 104b can include one or more capacitors C1, for example, one capacitor C1, or multiple capacitors connected in series and / or parallel. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the capacitor unit 104b includes one capacitor C1. The size of the one or more capacitors C1 connected in series and / or parallel can be designed according to actual conditions. The capacitance value of the capacitor unit 104b is greater than 33 pF.

[0049] In ESD protection, TVS diodes and capacitive units can be used in series to provide multi-level protection, for example, the capacitive unit can filter out high-frequency noise first, and the TVS diode is used to cope with ESD events. In some embodiments, the capacitive unit can also play a decoupling role, that is, the capacitive unit can absorb the transient voltage changes caused by ESD events to prevent these changes from affecting the stability of the power supply voltage, and further, the capacitive unit can also temporarily store more charge when the ESD event occurs, thereby reducing the impact of transient voltage on the circuit.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 , the structure diagram of the ESD protection structure 2 in an embodiment of the utility model. As shown in Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the ESD protection structure 104 includes a TVS diode 104a and an inductive unit 104c, wherein the TVS diode 104a and the inductive unit 104c are connected in parallel. Similarly, the ESD protection structure 104 can be connected between the electrostatic input area Q1 and the ground GND, so that the static electricity input by the electrostatic input area Q1 can be conducted to the ground GND through the ESD protection structure 104.

[0051] Among them, the inductive unit 104c can include one or more inductors L1, for example, it can include one inductor L1, or a plurality of inductors connected in series and / or parallel. Among them, Figure 3 , an inductor L1 is taken as an example to illustrate the inductive unit 104c. Among them, the size of the one inductor or a plurality of inductors connected in series and / or parallel can be designed according to actual conditions, and the inductance value of the inductive unit 104c is greater than 56nA.

[0052] In ESD protection, TVS diodes and inductive units can be used in parallel to provide a transient high-impedance path to limit the flow of transient current during ESD events, thereby reducing the impact on the subsequent circuit. Using inductive units on key nodes of power input terminals or signal lines can protect sensitive circuits in the back end. Inductors can help absorb or disperse a large amount of charge in ESD events and reduce the direct impact on the back-end circuit. This current limiting effect helps to reduce the impact of ESD events on sensitive components in the circuit.

[0053] In other embodiments, the ESD protection structure can also be other structures, for example, it can also include double NPN tubes (double Schottky diodes), and the specific structure is that one NPN tube 1 is biased to the ground, and the other NPN tube 2 is biased to the electrostatic input area, and the static electricity input by the electrostatic input area can be conducted to the ground.

[0054] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 1The ground position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104 is located on the side of the ESD protection structure 104 far away from the second functional device 103 arranged on the printed circuit board 100. By adjusting the ground position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104 to a reasonable position, the original easily broken functional device can be avoided or distanced, which is beneficial to reduce the direct impact on the sensitive functional device, thereby reducing the influence on the circuit.

[0055] In some embodiments, the second functional device 103 is a sensitive device easily broken. For example, it can be a switching device. The switching device can be a multi-way selection switch in a communication module, such as a single-pole double-throw switch, a double-pole double-throw switch, etc. The second functional device 103 can also be a sensor, a photoelectric device, or other sensitive devices easily broken, which can be set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first functional device 102 can also be a sensitive device easily broken. For example, it can be a switching device. Since the slot 105 is opened in the first preset area 130 between the ground position 101 of the ESD protection structure and the first functional device 102, and at least two rows of ground holes 106 are arranged, the static electricity can be well prevented from being discharged to the sensitive devices easily broken, so the ground position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104 can not be adjusted to a position far away from the sensitive devices.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 4 Another structural diagram of the circuit structure 1 for improving the ESD protection capability in an embodiment of the utility model.

[0058] The second preset area 140 of the surface layer 110 of the printed circuit board 100 is provided with at least two rows of ground holes 106, and the second preset area 140 is the area between the side of the ESD protection structure 104 far away from the ground position 101 and the second functional device 103. The ground holes 106 arranged in the area between the side of the ESD protection structure 104 far away from the ground position 101 and the second functional device 103 can be used as an effective path for ESD energy discharge, so that the ESD current can be quickly discharged to the ground through the ground holes 106, which can avoid the direct impact of the ESD energy on the second functional device 103, protect the second functional device 103 or other sensitive devices from the influence of electrostatic discharge, and enhance the blocking capability of ESD protection.

[0059] In the above embodiments, the two rows of grounding holes 106 in the second preset area 140 are arranged in the area between the side of the ESD protection structure 104 far from the grounding position 101 and the second functional device 103. The two rows of grounding holes 106 can also be staggered by a certain distance, i.e., each grounding hole 106 in one row of grounding holes 106 can correspond to the position of the gap between two grounding holes 106 in the other row of grounding holes 106, and staggered with each other to reduce the mutual interference between the grounding holes. Each grounding hole in each row of grounding holes is also arranged with a certain spacing to ensure the mutual isolation between the grounding holes. The spacing between each grounding hole in each row of grounding holes and the distance between each row of grounding holes is designed according to the actual situation of the circuit structure, and is not specifically limited here. In some embodiments, the at least two rows of grounding holes 106 can also be three rows of grounding holes 106, four rows of grounding holes 106, etc., and the arrangement direction and number of the two rows of grounding holes 106 can also be adjusted as needed.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 for the structural diagram of the GND reference layer 120 of the circuit structure. In some embodiments, when the GND reference layer 120 connected by the grounding position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104 and the grounding reference layer of the first functional device 102 are in the same layer of the printed circuit board 100, a slot 105 is also opened in the third preset area 150 of the layer (i.e., the same layer where the GND reference layer 120 and the grounding reference layer of the first functional device 102 are located) of the printed circuit board 100 and is arranged with at least two rows of grounding holes 106. The third preset area 150 is the area between the projection of the grounding position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104 on the layer and the projection of the first functional device 102 arranged on the layer of the printed circuit board 100, wherein the projections of the third preset area 150 and the first preset area 130 can completely coincide or partially coincide.

[0061] That is, Figure 5 The GND reference layer 120 shown in the above embodiments can be both the GND reference layer connected by the grounding position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104 and the grounding reference layer of the first functional device 102.

[0062] When the GND reference layer 120 connected by the grounding position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104 and the grounding reference layer of the first functional device 102 are in the same layer, a current loop can be formed, which can cause the ESD current to circulate between the two grounding positions, increasing the risk of impact on the functional device. Opening a slot 105 and arranging a grounding hole 106 in the third preset area can cut off this unnecessary current loop, protect sensitive devices, and improve the ESD discharge efficiency.

[0063] It is appreciated that in other embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 Another structural diagram of the GND reference layer 120 of the circuit structure. When the GND reference layer 120 connected by the ground position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104 and the ground reference layer of the second functional device 103 are in the same layer of the printed circuit board 100, a slot 105 is also opened in a fourth predetermined area 160 of the layer (i.e. the same layer where the GND reference layer 120 and the ground reference layer of the second functional device 103 are located) of the printed circuit board 100 and is separated by at least two rows of ground holes 106, and the fourth predetermined area 160 is the area between the projection of the side away from the ground position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104 on the layer and the projection of the second functional device 103 on the layer of the printed circuit board 100.

[0064] That is, Figure 6 The GND reference layer 120 shown in the above figure can also be the GND reference layer connected by the ground position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104 and the ground reference layer of the second functional device 103.

[0065] In some embodiments, the two rows of ground holes 106 in the third predetermined area 150 are arranged between the slot 105 and the projection of the ESD protection structure 104 on the layer, i.e. the slot 105 in the third predetermined area 150 can be closer to the projection of the first functional device 102 on the layer. In some embodiments, the two rows of ground holes 106 on the fourth predetermined area 160 are arranged between the slot 105 and the projection of the side away from the ground position 101 of the ESD protection structure 104 on the layer, i.e. the slot 105 in the fourth predetermined area 160 can be closer to the projection of the second functional device 103 on the layer.

[0066] The arrangement direction of each row of ground holes 106 in the third preset area 150 and the fourth preset area 160 can be the same as the extension direction of the slot 105, and each row of ground holes 106 can be uniformly distributed. The two rows of ground holes 106 can be staggered by a certain distance, that is, each ground hole 106 in one row of ground holes 106 can correspond to the position of the gap between two ground holes 106 in another row of ground holes 106, and staggered with each other to reduce the mutual interference between the ground holes. Each ground hole 106 in each row of ground holes 106 is also provided with a certain spacing to ensure the mutual isolation between the ground holes. The spacing between each ground hole 106 in each row of ground holes and the distance between each row of ground holes can be designed according to the actual situation of the circuit structure, and is not specifically limited here. In some embodiments, the arrangement direction of the two rows of ground holes 106 can also be different from the extension direction of the slot 105, for example, having an included angle with the extension direction of the slot 105. The arrangement direction and number of the two rows of ground holes 106 can also be adjusted as needed.

[0067] In some embodiments, the at least two rows of ground holes 106 include three rows of ground holes 106 or more than three rows of ground holes 106, which are set according to the actual situation and are not specifically limited here.

[0068] In some embodiments, the ground holes 106 can include but are not limited to round holes, square holes, polygonal holes or other irregularly shaped holes, which are set according to the actual situation and are not specifically limited here. When the ground holes 106 are set as round holes, the diameter of the round holes is 0.2 mm; when the ground holes 106 are set as square holes, the length of the square holes is 0.2 mm and the width is 0.2 mm.

[0069] In some embodiments, each hole in each row of holes in the two rows of ground holes 106 or the multiple rows of ground holes 106 can have different shapes, and these holes can appear in the same row or multiple rows in any combination. In addition, the two rows of holes or the multiple rows of holes can be staggered, parallel, symmetrical or other arrangements, and the specific design is set according to the actual situation of the circuit layout, which is not specifically limited here. By allowing the ground holes 106 to have different shapes and can be arranged in the same row or multiple rows in any combination, and the two rows of ground holes or the multiple rows of ground holes can be staggered or other arrangements, the flexibility and diversity of the structure can be improved, the needs of different application scenarios can be met, the space utilization rate is improved, and the layout of the ground holes 106 is more compact and reasonable.

[0070] In some embodiments, the shape of the slot 105 includes a straight line shape, an arc shape, a bent shape (for example, an L shape) or a U shape. It can be understood that the shape of the slot 105 can also be other straight line segment shapes or curve shapes, or a combination of other straight line segment shapes and curve shapes, and the specific design is set according to the actual situation of the circuit layout, which is not limited here. The width or depth of the slot is at least 0.1 mm.

[0071] It can be understood that when the slot is opened and the via hole is arranged in the preset area, the arrangement of the via hole 106 can be planned according to the shape of the slot 105, that is, the shape and position of the via hole 106 should closely follow the contour of the slot 105 to ensure the effective distribution of the via hole 106. For example, when the slot 105 is L-shaped, the via holes 106 are evenly distributed along the long side and the short side of the L-shaped slot 105, respectively, and the via holes 106 on the long side or the short side of the L-shaped slot 105 should closely follow the contour of the slot 105 to ensure the effective distribution of the via holes; the two rows of via holes 106 or the multiple rows of via holes 106 are arranged on the same side of the L-shaped slot 105 and are staggered with each other to reduce the mutual interference between the via holes, and a certain spacing is also arranged between each via hole 106 in each row of via holes 106 to ensure the mutual distance between the via holes.
