Solution Overview

Problem

The integration of circuits on PCBs in mobile devices leads to crosstalk and noise radiation due to interference from power, clock, and high-speed data lines, affecting data communication performance and user experience.

Innovation Solution

Adding conductors to divide exposed sections of PCB wires into multiple segments, with ends connected to ground terminals, using SMD resistors, metal sheets, or conductive cloth to minimize noise interference without altering original circuits.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If circuits are arranged near power lines, clock lines or high-speed data lines to increase integration, then circuit density is improved, but noise interference and crosstalk increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit densityVSAvoidnoise interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The exposed section of the wire is divided into multiple sections by adding conductors at preset positions. This segmentation isolates different parts of the exposed section, preventing noise propagation along the entire wire length while maintaining circuit integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-affected harmful factors

If conductors are added to divide exposed sections, then noise interference is reduced, but PCB complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenoise interferenceVSAvoidPCB structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The conductors are added only at specific preset positions along the exposed section rather than uniformly throughout. This localized approach addresses noise interference at critical points without unnecessarily complicating the entire PCB structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Object-affected harmful factors

If original circuits are modified to reduce noise, then noise interference is reduced, but manufacturing cost and project cycle increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenoise interferenceVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of modifying the entire PCB layout or all circuits, the solution applies partial action by adding conductors only to the exposed section of the wire. This minimal modification achieves noise reduction without requiring extensive redesign or re-verification of the entire PCB.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Disclosed in the present application are a PCB and a terminal device using the PCB. At least one electric conductor is added on an exposed section of the PCB, so that the exposed section is divided into at least two sections, thereby the problem of noise interference can be solved without extensively changing the original circuit of the PCB. In this way, the project cycle and test resource can be greatly saved, and the problem of radiation noise generated by the exposed section can be completely solved.
