Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional coil winding with two wires per input/output end is used, then manufacturing is simpler, but resistance is high and high-frequency signal transmission is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehigh-frequency signal transmission capabilityVSAvoidcoil winding structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The coil winding is segmented into multiple independent wire groups (first group, second group, third group, fourth group) instead of using traditional two-wire configuration. Each group is wound independently around the magnetic core, allowing optimization of electrical characteristics for high-frequency signal transmission while maintaining manageable manufacturing complexity through modular assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If more enameled wires are used in coil winding, then resistance decreases and signal transmission improves, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission effectivenessVSAvoidcoil winding manufacturing ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The multi-wire coil is divided into four separate wire groups that can be prepared and wound independently, then assembled together. This segmentation allows for standardized manufacturing processes for each group while achieving the low resistance and high signal transmission effectiveness required for 25 Gbps capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple enameled wire groups are combined in parallel configuration around the magnetic core to reduce overall resistance. The first, second, third, and fourth groups are all wound around the same magnetic core, creating a merged structure that achieves superior electrical performance while distributing the manufacturing complexity across identical modular units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
