Another fundamental purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of bus plane that includes the power zone block on smooth arc shape border, to solve the bigger shortcoming of noise in the prior art.Be the synoptic diagram of the bus plane of second embodiment of the invention as shown in Figure 5.
Claim of the present invention provides a kind of multilayer circuit board (multi-layer printed circuitboard), it includes at least one ground plane (ground plane) and is used to provide an earth level (ground), at least one signals layer (signal plane), it includes a plurality of traces (trace) and is used for transmission signals, at least one bus plane (power plane), it includes a plurality of power zone blocks, be used to provide a plurality of voltage levels, and at least one through hole (via), be used for the trace of this signals layer is electrically connected on this bus plane or this ground plane.The adjacent power zone block of two different voltage levels is isolated with insulated wire, and this insulated wire includes a plurality of first insulated wire section, and second insulated wire section of many smooth curves is used for connecting adjacent first insulated wire section of tangent line angle greater than a predetermined angular.
See also Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is the synoptic diagram of bus plane 60 of the present invention.Power zone block 42 position configuration on the bus plane 60 are identical with the bus plane 40 of Fig. 4, and bus plane 60 is applied in the multilayer circuit board, the motherboard of aforesaid computer system for example, for instance, power zone block 42a, 42b, 42c is an earth level, and it is all corresponding with north bridge chipset 48, that is can pass through power zone block 42a corresponding to the through hole (not shown) of north bridge chipset 48,42b, 42c, power zone block 42d can provide the operating voltage (Vcore) of central processing unit 46 via the through hole (not shown) in addition, and power zone block 42e also can provide storer 52 via the through hole (not shown), the required operating voltage (Vdimm) of for example double data processing speed dynamic RAM (double data rate dynamic random access memory, DDR DRAM).Bus plane 60 and bus plane 40 main differences are the shape of insulated wire 44, in the present embodiment, insulated wire 44 is made up of level and smooth line segment, that is two connected with a smooth curve line segment between the straight line line segment, so each transfer point of Fig. 4 (turning point) 58 all smoothed processing, so the turning point among Fig. 5 58 is the smooth curve line segment.Therefore, in the present embodiment, can not produce any acute angle between the two adjacent power zone blocks 42, and can lower between the power zone block 42 because the level fluctuation situation that point discharge produced, for instance, power zone block 42d provides the operating voltage (for example 3.3 volts) of central processing unit 46, and power zone block 42c, 42b is an earth level, yet power zone block 42d and power zone block 42c, the relevant insulated wire 44 of 42b is level and smooth line segment, so power zone block 42d and power zone block 42c, the border of 42b does not have acute angle and makes power zone block 42d to power zone block 42c, 42b carries out point discharge, therefore power zone block 42d can significantly not change near 3.3 volts level, so central processing unit 46 just can stably be worked.
Compared with prior art, the insulated wire of bus plane of the present invention carries out smoothing processing in its turning point, so two adjacent straight line line segments can be connected via a smooth curve line segment, therefore this two adjacent straight line line segment can not produce significantly angle variation, that is can not form any acute angle to the border of two power zone blocks that should insulated wire, therefore can avoid providing in the existing power supply layer between two power zone blocks of different voltage levels, produce the point discharge effect because its corresponding border includes acute angle and make the voltage level instability of this two power zone block.In sum, bus plane of the present invention can increase the degree of stability of power supply, and makes electronic component set on the signals layer can have stable operating voltage further.
