DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the technical problems, technical schemes and beneficial effects of the present application more clearly understood, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0025] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a circuit board structure for shortening the reflow path, comprising a circuit board body 1 with a plurality of layers, a plurality of capacitor pad groups are arranged on the circuit board body 1, each pad group comprises two capacitor pad pairs 2, a hollow area 3 is arranged below each capacitor pad pair 2, a copper skin 4 is laid in the middle of the hollow area 3, and the length of the copper skin 4 is equal to the length of the hollow area 3. When the signal line is reflowed, the reflow path does not need to reflow along the edge of the hollow area 3, but can directly reflow through the copper skin 4, thereby shortening the loop path, reducing the parasitic inductance and loss in the reflow process, reducing noise interference, and improving the quality and stability of signal transmission. In addition, due to the arrangement of the hollow area 3, the requirement of impedance matching can be met, and the stability and reliability of the high-speed serial differential bus 6 in the transmission process can be ensured.

[0026] In the embodiment, the width of the copper sheet 4 is 6 mil. When the width of the copper sheet 4 is less than 6 mil, due to the small size, challenges in precision control may be encountered in the processing process, such as uneven etching, rough edges and other problems, which will increase the risk of breaking the copper sheet 4; when the width of the copper sheet 4 is greater than 6 mil, the copper sheet 4 is wider, which affects the reference plane of the hollowing of the capacitor pad pair 2, thereby affecting the impedance. When the width of the copper sheet 4 is 6 mil, the width of 6 mil not only ensures the stability of the copper sheet 4 in the processing process, but also ensures the structural integrity of the copper sheet 4 on the circuit board, reduces the risk of circuit failure caused by improper processing, helps to maintain the integrity of the signal, and reduces the signal attenuation and distortion caused by the excessive length of the reflow path or the excessive resistance and inductance.

[0027] In the embodiment, due to the large pad of the capacitor pad pair 2, the impedance is relatively small, and only the distance between the pad of the capacitor pad pair 2 and the reference layer can be increased to increase the impedance for matching. The hollowing area 3 is arranged in 1-2 layers directly below the capacitor pad pair 2, thereby increasing the distance between the pad of the capacitor pad pair 2 and the reference layer, and further meeting the requirement of impedance.

[0028] In the embodiment, the outer periphery of each capacitor pad pair 2 is provided with a silk screen frame 5, which serves as a visual mark of the capacitor pad pair 2 and improves the recognition of the capacitor pad pair 2 on the circuit board. In the production, assembly and debugging process, the operator can quickly and accurately identify the position of the capacitor pad pair 2, thereby avoiding the error assembly or damage caused by misidentification or misoperation. In addition, the size of the silk screen frame 5 is equal to the size of the hollowing area 3, which ensures the accurate correspondence between the silk screen frame 5 and the capacitor pad pair 2 and the hollowing area 3 thereof. This not only helps to accurately position the capacitor pad pair 2 in the manufacturing process, but also provides a reliable reference benchmark for subsequent assembly and debugging work.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 In the embodiment, the capacitor pad group is connected with the high-speed serial differential bus 6. Through the transmission of differential signals, the quality and stability of the signal in the high-speed and long-distance transmission process can be ensured. At the same time, the capacitor pad group plays a decoupling role by connecting the high-speed serial differential bus 6. The capacitor pad group can absorb and release electric charge, thereby stabilizing the power supply voltage and reducing the interference of power supply noise on signal transmission. Specifically, the high-speed serial differential bus 6 includes a first differential line 61 and a second differential line 62 arranged symmetrically. The two capacitor pad pairs 2 in the capacitor pad group are divided into a first pad pair 21 and a second pad pair 22. The first differential line 61 is connected with the first pad pair 21, and the second differential line 62 is connected with the second pad pair 22, thereby ensuring the balance of the differential signal in the transmission process and further enhancing the stability and integrity of the signal.

[0030] As shown in Figure 2As shown, in the embodiment, the four corners of the silk screen frame 5 are divided into a first corner 51, a second corner 52, a third corner 53, and a fourth corner 54, the silk screen frame 5 surrounding the first pad pair 21 is a first silk screen frame, the silk screen frame 5 surrounding the second pad pair 22 is a second silk screen frame, the first differential line 61 is drawn out from the second corner 52 and the third corner 53 of the first silk screen frame, and the second differential line 62 is drawn out from the first corner 51 and the fourth corner 54 of the second silk screen frame, thereby optimizing the signal transmission path, reducing the crosstalk and interference between signals, and improving the integrity and stability of the signal.

[0031] In the embodiment, the first pad pair 21 and the second pad pair 22 each include two capacitor pads, which are connected to the corresponding high-speed serial differential bus 6, thereby stabilizing the transmission of differential signals. Capacitors play a role in filtering and decoupling in circuits, can absorb and release charges, thereby stabilizing the power supply voltage and reducing the interference of power supply noise on signal transmission.

[0032] In the embodiment, the first differential line 61 and the second differential line 62 are arranged in parallel, which helps to maintain the balance between differential signals and ensures that the two signal lines receive the same electromagnetic interference during transmission, thereby effectively canceling out the interference and maintaining the integrity of the signal. In addition, the width of the first differential line 61 is equal to the width of the second differential line 62, which helps to achieve impedance matching and can reduce signal reflection and loss, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and quality of the signal.

[0033] In the embodiment, the width of the first differential line 61 and the width of the second differential line 62 are each 12mil-22mil, and the width of the first differential line 61 and the width of the second differential line 62 can be designed to be any value within the interval of 12mil, 13mil, 14mil, 15mil, 16mil, 17mil, 18mil, 19mil, 20mil, 21mil, and 22mil. In actual design, the width of the first differential line 61 and the width of the second differential line 62 can be designed according to actual needs.
