Abstract

A printed circuit board layout method includes the following steps. Providing a printed circuit board with a first layout layer and a second layout layer. Disposing a pair of first conducting portions on the first layout layer to electrically couple to a control chip. Sequentially disposing a pair of second conducting portions, a pair of third conducting portions, and a pair of fourth conducting portions on the second layout layer. Providing a pair of connecting portions to connect the first conducting portions and the third conducting portions. Electrically connecting an electronic device to the second conducting portions, and providing a first and second components are coupled with the third and fourth conducting portions, or electrically coupling the electronic device to the fourth conducting portions, and providing the first and the second components are coupled with the second and third conducting portions.

Claims (12)

1. A printed circuit board layout method comprising:

providing a printed circuit board with a first layout layer, and a second layout layer;

disposing a pair of first conducting portions on the first layout layer to electrically couple to a control chip;

sequentially disposing a pair of second conducting portions, a pair of third conducting portions and a pair of fourth conducting portions on the second layout layer;

providing a pair of connecting portions to respectively connect the first conducting portions of the first layout layer and the third conducting portions of the second layout layer;

electrically coupling an electronic device to the second conducting portions, and providing a first component to electrically connect one of the second conducting portions and a corresponding one of the third conducting portions, and a second component to electrically connect the other one of the second conducting portions and the other one of the third conducting portions to form a first route; or electrically coupling the electronic device to the fourth conducting portions, and providing the first component to electrically connect one of the fourth conducting portions to a corresponding one of the third conducting portions, and the second component to electrically connect the other one of the fourth conducting portions to the other one of the third conducting portions to form a second route; and

transmitting a pair of high-speed differential signals generated by the control chip to the electronic device, via the first conducting portions, the connecting portions, the third conducting portions, the first and second components, and the second conducting portions in turn in response to the first route being formed, or via the first conducting portions, the connecting portions, the third conducting portions, the first and second components, and the fourth conducting portions in turn in response to the second route being formed.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connecting portions are a pair of vias or a pair of embedded vias.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first component and the second component are resistors. status identifier.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first component and the second component are capacitors.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein each capacitor is an alternating current coupling capacitor.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in the sequentially disposing step, the pair of second conducting portions, the pair of third conducting portions and the pair of fourth conducting portions are arranged in corresponding linear alignments.
